Top Sweet Homemade Gifts For Girlfriends!

So without further ado, let's get into the 25 homemade gift ideas for girlfriends - that she will absolutely love.

1. Stunning Pressed Flower Quote Board - Link

Our first gift idea is a cheeky self-promo. Spoiler alert: like 95% of this list is a self-promo. I am a girl who likes to craft - ergo, a lot of the things I make other women would probably love.

These stylish wall art pieces are made from resin and can be totally customised to fit your girlfriend. Bonus points because this craft is super easy to make.

2. Polaroid Pressed Glass Flower Frame - Link

Absolutely Beautiful And Easy Gift Idea For Her (great Idea For A DIY Gift For Mum!) A Little Memory Box.

One of the easiest (and cheapest!) DIY gift for girlfriends is to convert a pressed glass frame into a memory box. Take some polaroid pictures of the two of you, add some pressed flowers - maybe a handwritten note! - and you've got something truly special.

3. Dainty Painted Mirror - Link

Our next idea is wonderfully simple to create - and super cheap! All you need is some acrylic paint, a mirror and five minutes. Check out my tutorial below if you need more inspo!

4. Marble Pattern Clips - Link

Hair accessories are equal parts cute and practical - so why not DIY some as a gift? This clip is incredibly easy to recreate with the help of some acrylic pour paints, plus the total project clocks in at under $10!

5. Preserve Flowers In Herbariums - Link

I love herbariums! They're such a fun way to preserve flowers - and they make a super sweet homemade gift for girlfriends. If you want to make this super romantic, you could even buy some dried rose heads and use those instead!

This is another gift idea that's wonderfully affordable. You could even upcycle old spice jars!

6. DIY Date Night Vending Machine - Link

If you've been following my blog over the past month, I'm sure our next DIY gift idea for her will come as no surprise! I made this date night vending machine for my boyfriend's birthday and he loved it.

7. Crystal Candle - Link

Who doesn't love a good candle? This crystal candle looks like it could have been bought from Anthropologie - but you can make it at home in a few easy steps. Personally, I thrift-flipped some bric-a-brac at the charity store and that made this gift even more affordable.

8. DIY Marble Mirrors - Link

Mirror painting is a trend that's getting increasingly popular - and for good reason! You can create all kinds of quirky and fun creations.

I particularly love this option because it's totally beginner-friendly. All you need are some acrylic pour paints in your chosen colour, a mirror... and that's it! Check out my tutorial below to see for yourself.

9. DIY Goddess Candles - Link

This gift idea looks like it could be storebought - but is still crazily easy to recreate at home! All you need is a special mould and some candle wax.

10. Dupe LUSH With Luxurious Handmade Bath Bombs - Link

Is your girlfriend a self care and relaxation junkie? Why not try making her some luxurious bath bombs? This quick project can be completed in an afternoon - and the cost per bath bomb is way cheaper than buying them from somewhere like LUSH.

11. Want A Free Gift? Grow An Avocado Tree - Link

Are you making homemade gifts for your girlfriend because you're on a budget? This next suggestion may be for you! You can grow a mini avocado tree completely free, using a recycled jar and an old avocado pit.

Does your girlfriend love crystals or boho home decor? Try these air plant holders!

14. Faux Crystal Trinket Dish - Link

Trinket dishes are a wonderfully practical homemade gift for girlfriends - and this project is one of my faves! It looks like it could've come straight off the shelf at Urban Outfitters.
