Christmas is the time of the year that we all gather together with our loved ones and friends to celebrate the kindness, joy and peace. Also, this is the time when we exchange gifts to value each other’s presence in our lives. This is the time of the year that we — the knitters — surprise our loved ones and friends with our completed masterpieces that are hand knitted with lots of love.
Hand knitted goodies are the best gifts that they can receive from us. These Christmas themed knitted goodies don’t really have to be ultra fancy or expensive! In fact, most of them won’t even cost more than a few pounds to knit. However, the value these gifts provide to your loved ones is priceless!
Here are some Christmas gift ideas that will get your needles clicking for the festive season.
Knitted Stockings
The hand knitted stockings make lovely Christmas gifts. All you have to do is select some yarn that you like, pick vibrant colours as a traditional theme or go with greys and browns for a more contemporary look. Santa red and while are always cheerful colours for children of all ages.
Hand knitted stockings are in demand during the cold winter evenings, they make great ornaments on a mantlepiece. So knit some for your loved ones. Create a stocking and fill it with goodies for the kids in your family. They will adore them.
Hand Made Gift Bags
Hand knitted gift bags make trendy and usable presents. The best thing about knitting these little bags is that you can create them with all the leftover yarn from your main projects. They will make great accompaniments if you have made a main gift and have some leftovers.
This is a one size that fits them all! Pop little gifts into the bags and make a double gift. You can improvise with your creativity further and switch them up into other items such as eyewear pouches, TV remote keepers, cosmetic bags, mobile phone covers.
Knitted Toys
Toys are your go to knitting idea if you want something traditional for little ones. If you have grandchildren, then knit them some beautiful Christmas themed toys. Toys can be a lifetime keepsake at any age and look great on a shelf as well as in the toybox with the other toys.
Knitted Decorations
This idea knows no boundaries whatsoever. You can create decorative ornaments to hang on to your Christmas tree, decorate your mantlepiece, tables, doors and bathroom too! House decorations and Christmas themed decorations like knitted Christmas crackers never go out of fashion. Gifting decorations can be an unusual and unique gift that will be cherished. You can also decorate your home knitted Christmas trees, baubles and table decorations. Don’t forget Santa characters and Christmas themed doorstops. There are even Christmas themed toilet roll covers for your bathroom.
These are some ideas for you to start ticking off your Christmas gift list. Christmas is a time when hearts are filled with joy and your art of knitting is pure joy. These ideas are only to show you the doors. Choose the one you like, improvise and get knitting!
