'Tis the season... for giving and getting things you (and your giftees) might not really need. With sustainability becoming a paramount concern for many and the drawbacks of overconsumption entering our collective consciousness, the idea of gifting thoughtful, handmade, and possibly even zero-waste gifts is becoming ever more appealing. The only problem? We're not all as handy as we might like to be. Don't worry though — you don't need to be an expert maker to craft these DIY Christmas gifts! From beginner to advanced, there's a homemade Christmas gift idea for giver and giftee alike.

1. Edible DIY Christmas Gift Ideas

Brit + Co

If you know your way around a kitchen, don't sleep on the opportunity to give your loved ones an edible gift. You know it'll get used (AKA eaten), and it's essentially a zero-waste gift-giving strategy.

We love making pretty desserts that work well as gifts, like this matcha yogurt bark, this peppermint bark, these super easy Christmas cookie recipes, and these edible gift ideas. Package them up with these creative gift wrapping techniques, or forego paper altogether and wrap them with a cute kitchen towel for a zero-waste approach.

2. DIY Craft Kits To Gift

Etsy

If you're a complete beginner to DIY and handmade Christmas gifts, it might be smart to start out with a kit. A DIY kit allows you to fashion a thoughtful gift that shows your recipient just how much time and effort you put into giving them something special.

This DIY permanent jewelry kit is perfect for someone who wants to give their bestie a one-of-a-kind present this year. You can also DIY Christmas-scented candles, grow your loved one's birth month flower, or construct a super-cute tiny house to be displayed as kitschy decor.

3. Handmade Christmas Gifts

A cute winter terrarium is perfect for the quirky decor lover in your life, while nothing brings the hygge vibes more than a hand-knit blanket.

4. DIY Home Decor

Brit + Co

Speaking of your bestie's home, we've got plenty of ideas for DIY Christmas gifts you can give in the home decor category.

Spruce up a simple IKEA desk to give your work wife a WFH chair that's cute and from the heart. Make magazine wall art in your giftee's favorite colors to add a homemade, kitschy touch to their space. This Anthro-inspired DIY chandelier is another great option for artsy decor lovers.

A friend who loves hostessing will appreciate this pineapple cutting board, and someone who's into the beauty of organization will swoon over this DIY wall organizer.

Move over nautical – coastal luxe is the new trend in town. We don’t know about you, but our Pinterest is filled with pictures of this beachy, Bali-inspired home trend, which has only grown in popularity over the last year.

What is Coastal Luxe?

Image via Etsy

Coastal luxe is an elevated take on the ever-popular “beach” home decor motif, substituting anchors and seagull statues with driftwood and seagrass baskets. Through plenty of texture, wood, pampas grass and more, this style is a luxurious fusion of beachy and bohemian, and we’re here to show you how to bring this trend into your home.

This home decor trend started in 2020, when an infusion of Balinese and Australian design influences trickled into mainstream social media. Home stylists, interior designers, and social media influencers alike noticed the growing trend, and began to implement it in their own projects.

How did Coastal Luxe get popular?

Image via Etsy

Coastal luxe quickly grew in popularity, as companies like Three Birds Renovations and brands like Village Stores infused their brands with a style that sat at the crux of traditional modernity and relaxed bohemian. This unique style is synonymous with relaxed living and beach culture, thus growing to popularity in Australia.

The products that ultimately gave way to this style originated from Balinese and Moroccan roots. Woven baskets, beaded boxes and unique wooden furniture have been handcrafted by local artisans for centuries, and with the globalization of the home decor market their pieces have seeped into new countries, and markets, across the world.

Today, you can find thousands of images on coastal luxe homes and styling tips through social media, and can shop directly from balinese artisans through sites like Etsy.

Do I have to source Coastal Luxe overseas?

Image via Etsy

The short answer is no! In fact, you’re surrounded by pieces that fit this style no matter where you are. Head to your local Homegoods, Cost Plus World Market, Homesense or even Amazon and I’m sure that you’ll find some amazing, unique pieces.

Creating a coastal inspired home doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, with some simple styling tips and affordable upgrades, you too can transform your home into an idyllic escape reminiscent of a luxury seaside home.

1. Upgrade your lighting fixtures

Image via Etsy

One thing you will always see in any coastal luxe styled home is unique lighting. The goal of this style is to bring in a variety of natural different textures to create a relaxing, warm environment. For example, try finding an amazing wovenlampshade, or a wood beaded chandelier.

2. Add texture to your home decor

Image via Etsy

Think: wood, raffia, shells, really anything that is natural. Try these beautiful, airy curtains to transform your windows, a handwoven Moroccan blanket to throw over your couch, funky cutting boards or candle holders (I love shopping at Homegoods for these), woven placemats to update your tablescape or this rattan magazine holder to sit by your couch.

3. Pick wall art that reflects the beach

White Shell Beaded Wall Hanging Boho Wall Decor Tribal Wall - Etsy

We absolutely love any opportunity to bring natural, unique pieces into our homes. We look for pieces from favorite photographers, like Saxon Kent, brands like Salty Luxe, or even our local Homesense and Homegoods (look for the brand Middle of Nowhere, they make amazing, large scale photographs on canvas). Photography is an all-around great way to bring art into your home.

Don’t worry, though, you don’t have to just stick with photography! Check out these handcrafted African Juju hats, this shell wall hanging and this seagrass fan.

4. Introduce live and dried plants to your home

Image via Etsy

Plants are the perfect way to bring the outdoors inside, and achieve that natural look. I love buying dried pampas grass and adding it to textured vases I find at Homegoods and TJ Maxx, like this terracotta vase and this coral motif vase. For live plants, check out your local plant nursery to see what they have in stock. Coastal luxe homes tend to lean towards more tropical plants, like banana trees and bird of paradises.

5. When buying new pieces, focus on the material and quality

Image via Etsy

You always want your pieces to last, so try to invest in quality. Handcrafted items are always an excellent choice, but for more budget-friendly home decor enthusiasts be sure to check the material label before you buy anything. If you’re shopping in a store, feel the furniture to make sure it’s real, sturdy wood. See if the pillows are stuffed fully, and if the pretty kitchen products you’re looking at are dishwasher safe (and even food safe…you’d be surprised by how many aren’t). And if there are reviews to be read, read the reviews!

6. Your rugs are an extension of your style – use them accordingly

Image via Etsy

Let’s be honest – rugs are wildly expensive, so you might as well get a pretty one that will stand the test of time. To achieve the coastal luxe style, check out jute rugs and Moroccan rugs. Remember, anything with texture is a good thing, so if you find a fabulous tufted rug, buy it!

Now, you can convert your space into a beautiful beachside escape, no matter how far you may be from the coast.

It looks like we'll just be getting Jacob Elordi movies for the rest of time, and honestly, I'm thankful. (Even if that one cringy Kissing Booth scene still runs on a loop in the my brain). Before Swift Horses with Daisy Edgar Jones, Jacob is teaming up with another Hollywood titan you'll recognize from Pretty Woman: Richard Gere. And the movie looks incredibly emotional.

Here's all the latest info on Jacob Elordi and Richard Gere's brand new movie Oh, Canada.

What is the Oh Canada movie about?

Oh, Canada Plot

Oh, Canada follows the life of legendary (albeit fictional) filmmaker Leonard Fife. This story probably approaches Leo's career the way we think about Steven Spielberg's. AKA, he's very important. Leonard decides to tell his life story before he runs out of time. And even though he's got an impressive resumé, he also has to decide if he wants his Vietnam draft dodge and sticky relationships to become public knowledge.

"Leonard sits for an extended interview with his former student Malcolm (Michael Imperioli), relating candid stories about his younger self (Jacob Elordi) in the tumultuous 1960s and beyond," the synopsis says, adding that "at Leonard’s insistence, his wife and indispensable artistic partner, Emma (Uma Thurman), bears witness to it all."

How to watch Oh Canada?

Oh, Canada Release Date

Jacob Elordi's new movie is coming to theaters December 6, 2024 — the same day as Rachel Zegler's Y2K and Amy Adams' Nightb—ch!

Who's in the movie?

Kino Lorber

Oh, Canada Cast

The cast of Oh, Canada includes Richard Gere, Jacob Elordi, Uma Thurman, Michael Imperioli, and Victoria Hill, while the movie is written and directed by Paul Schrader (who also worked with Richard on 1980's American Gigolo!

What has the cast said about the movie?

Uma Thurman has been vocal about how excited she is to be a part of the project and told Deadline the movie feels like a "reverie" and has a "lyrical, sort of loosely knit, poetic" quality about it.

"The cinematic hand of Paul, of course, carried the day, as far as bringing this sort of illusionary dream together into something that you walk away from with the strong impression of a story," she says. "Just the presence of a master like Paul Schrader on a set of any size, is as distinct as, I don’t know, a warm wind. It’s like the wind that hits you when you get off a plane in the tropics. There’s only one thing of its ilk, and he’s kind of a master like that. You could really be anywhere; you can’t miss it."

That sounds like my kind of movie.

Director Paul Schrader revealed he fell in love with Jacob's performance the moment he saw him — which was before he took the world by storm in Priscilla. “I saw his performance on Zoom and, if this was 40 years ago, this is the guy I would have cast for American Gigolo,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

Azazie

Azazie Atelier Bellini Grape Jacquard Satin Maxi Dress

I adore this deep, rich eggplant color SO much. It goes so well with this high neckline and jacquard fabric, absolutely emanating elegance. This looks fantastic with strappy gold sandals (like above), but I could also see this looking amazing with some pointed toe velvet pumps.
