12 Days of Christmas, Day #7 – Bulk DIY Gifts for Neighbors, Coworkers, Teachers

| | | |

Sharing is caring!

Hey y’all!

So glad you’re back for Day #7!

If you missed yesterday, we highlighted some really cool ideas for homemade gifts for individuals – those friends and family members who are at the top of your list, for whom you really want to do something special. 

Today, we are talking about those gifts you need to make in bulk for all those individuals you want to spread a little Christmas cheer to – neighbors, coworkers, teachers, service workers – anyone, really!

Festive Christmas gift guide with bulk ideas for neighbors, coworkers, and teachers, featuring Christmas trees, ornaments, and holiday decorations, perfect for holiday gifting.

I want to share with you several of the gifts that I’ve given to neighbors and teachers over the past few years.

All of these gifts are ones that you can make several of at one time, and it’s easy and quality gift-giving! 

And, many of them are perfect for last-minute gift prep (when maybe you forgot all about it?!?)! 

Christmas Stovetop Potpourri

A Christmas Simmer Pot gift is one of my favorites to gift because pretty much everyone loves it! This is all the ingredients for a Christmas simmer pot. Who doesn’t love to have their home smell like Christmas?

I’ve had this project on my blog for a few years, and this year, I decided to give the tags a little bit of a makeover.

You can now download them in both small and large sizes. It includes 2 cards – one with the recipe on it (I like to add that too, in case the recipient wants to make another batch in the future), and one that just is a ‘Merry Christmas’ card. Take your pick or use both!

DIY Luminaries

Small glass jars with LED lights, decorated with greenery and twine, on a rustic wooden surface at night, creating a cozy, boho-inspired decorative piece.

These are very simple luminaries that I created to gift. Actually, I filled them with delicious trail mix, and then wrote a little note on the card saying they could use it as a luminary with votives or fairy lights after the snack was finished.

Colorful holiday treat jars filled with assorted candies, decorated with burlap, twine, and greenery for festive Christmas dessert arrangements.

This gift also includes a free printable tag that says ‘Glory to the Light of the World’ to emphasize the luminary aspect of the gift.

Sourdough Gifts

If you are part of the sourdough craze, gifting sourdough bread is a wonderful idea! Most people truly love and appreciate the effort that goes into baking bread!

I’ve created some gift tags you can use for your bread, as well as a bread care card.

I also created tags for sourdough starter and instruction cards, if you think your people are interested in trying to make sourdough themselves!

Food Treat Tags

This is a tag that you can use with a food gift for any person you want to thank for their hard work.

The original tag is meant to go with homemade granola, which is another wonderful (& healthy!) food gift to give. But you can use it with any food gift you want.

There are two versions – one for a ‘healthy’ treat, like granola (recipe card included for that treat!), and one for a ‘yummy’ treat – use with any food or treat you’d like to gift!

These are cute gift tags that you can use for coffee or tea gifts – coffee mugs, Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks gift cards, even a little mason jar filled with instant coffee packs or tea bags.

I would also add to this list the Christmas Nativity Trail Mix, which I shared on Sunday when we focused on Christ-centered ways to celebrate the holidays. I’ve made this one for bulk gifts several times, and it’s a sweet way to move the focus to Jesus during the holidays.
