25 of the Best Handmade Gifts for Her

Finding a gift for your sister, daughter, mother, or friend—especially when the recipient already seems to have it—all can be a daunting task. In our minds, the perfect gift is one that simultaneously shows her just how much you care while also speaking to one of her unique interests. If checking both of those boxes is important to you (as it should be!), a handmade gift is one of the easiest ways to do so. Not only is it infinitely more fun to give something you've made yourself, but handmade gifts can be made in big batches and are simple to personalize so that your recipient will know she was truly being thought of. 

For the fashionista, consider these elegant tassel earrings, customized in your giftee's favorite colors, which take just a few minutes to make. You could also upgrade little bottles of nail polish in her go-to hues so that they look like a mini "bottle of bubbly." Stitch up a few of these pansy fabric flowers for a sweet homemade bouquet, or add them on as embellishments to other accessories from tote bags to headbands.
