So everytime I take a look at someone’s list of expensive looking inexpensive DIY gifts, I always have the same reaction: “I would never gift that… or that.. or that.” Now don’t get me wrong, the DIY projects look beautiful, but why would anyone want to get a cake stand or napkin holders? I don’t care if you made it out of driftwood you found on the beach in India, I probably won’t be using it that much.
So, I decided to make my own list of awesome expensive looking DIY gifts that are beyond easy. And whether it’s for Christmas or someone’s birthday, I hope you find one that work great for your friend or significant other.
