DIY gifts are fun, colorful, and full of personality. Just like kids! There’s an innocence to them that make them a welcome diversion from the Polly Pockets, bulked-up superheroes, and Barbies that kids think they want, only because they’re bombarded by commercials for these products every day of their little lives!
Think what a better place the world would be if, instead of commercials for plastic movie tie-in action figures, thre were commercials for felt iPod holders, pink plushies, and deluxe socktopi.
Yes, we said deluxe socktopi. Click the slideshow to see what we’re talking about!
Deb & Wendy have been crafting most of their lives. They blog as DIYthing.com and plan to launch a DIY City Guide in Spring 2008.
