"It's so simple to look up things online, or find tutorials online, or take a workshop, " said Toohey-Wiese. who works at crafts studio Collage Collage on Main Street.

"There's so many workshops going on this year, that I've seen homemade canning workshops, there's lots of cooking and baking workshops, there's art workshops."

Here are her top five do-it-yourself holiday gift ideas.

1. Handmade cards

cards"This one is easy. Every year I print my drawings or paintings onto Christmas cards. But you can use your own doodles, photographs, Instagram posts, you name it!

You can make multiple Christmas cards all at once, and your friends and family are really going to appreciate the extra-personalized touch to their cards this year. Print them out on cardstock at home, or go to your favourite local print shop and get some professionals to help you out."


2. Mini woven ornaments

ornaments"I am a weaver, but the pieces I make in my art practice take a bit too long to give to everyone on my list! This year I am making mini woven ornaments for everyone. I can't wait to see these guys hanging on my friends and family's trees, and they are simple enough anyone can learn to make them! Here is an easy tutorial I found online."

3. Snow globe

"This one is for my nieces! This is a kit so the kids can make their own snow globe, it ups the handmade factor since the recipient makes the snow globe themselves! A mason jar is filled with modeling clay, a plastic animal and tree, and lots and lots of glitter. This gift is good for ages 3 to 103! This would be an easy project to make yourself, or grab one of the kits from Collage Collage which has everything included!"

4. Food

"My favourite food gifts usually come as homemade canned goods: smoked salmon or antipasto dip. Homemade cookies have been given around a lot in my family, learn someone's favourite recipe and package them up!

Another idea is to make an IOU for one special homemade dinner (through experience I have learned this is an especially good present for us children to give to our parents!). I'm pretty sure you'll have nicer memories from those experiences than anything you got at the mall.
