Christmas souvenirs for children
As a thank you to touch, something for the palate or humorous to look forward toBig and smallabout the kind attentions. Small gifts out of the blue are often even nicer and you don't need a specific reason for them. The joy is especially great when they are individually made for the respective person and given from the heart. Below we present 13 great ideas for young and old, which you can design partly or entirely yourself.
Ahomemade snowman set
Children are always really excited about the snow and wait for it impatiently. When it snows, it means a lot of playing in the snow and it's finally time to have oneto build a snowman. If you have everything you need, it's even more fun because the snowman is sure to be very beautiful. There is no better idea for a Christmas souvenir than a snowman set.
You can easily design a snowman set yourself by getting or making all the accessories and packaging them nicely. The snowman traditionally includes: the eyes and smile made of black coal, the nose made of a carrot, a red scarf and a black hat. You make the coal from small stones that you dye black. For the nose, you can use either a real carrot or an artificial one. You can quickly make the hat and scarf out of craft felt. Pack all the pieces together nicely as a set. You can also involve your child in this.
Homemade Christmas tree decorations

EdiblesChristmas decorations
At Christmas there are many delicious foods and sweets that are hard to resist. What is unusual, however, is when you can also eat the decorations. A really fun and original idea is to make an edible Christmas decoration and give it to a friend as a humorous oneto give souvenirs. Here we present instructions for a wreath made from a wire coat hanger and lollipops.

First you need to shape the hanger into a circle. The best way to do this is to use tongs and a bucket that has a suitable diameter. Using craft wire, attach the individual lollipops to the packaging on the clothes hanger. Finally, tie a large, beautiful bow in the middle where the hanger should be hung. It would be best if you use strawberry cream candies in transparent packaging.
Christmassydecorated glass candle
Another imaginative idea that can be realized as a Christmas souvenir without much effort is to decorate traditional glass candles for Christmas. There are no limits to creativity. Candles in white, cream, brown, red and green or generally in the typical Christmas colors, which can quickly be made even more Christmassy, are particularly suitable.

When you think of original gift ideas, imaginative gifts in jars often come to mind. This means you can pack lovingly selected little things in a jar for every occasion. It's best to tailor the kind attentions to the person in question. It is particularly original to pack all the necessary ingredients and the recipe, e.g. a simple Christmas cookie recipe, in a jar. This way the recipient could bake delicious cookies themselves.
Smalleasy to care forplant
Perhaps the perfect gift for someone who enjoys gardening but doesn't have their own garden or part of the garden are small potted plants that would thrive perfectly on the windowsill. Small cacti, succulents and indoor bonsai are particularly suitable for this, as they are not only easy to care for but also grow very slowly. Above all, such plant species require a lot of light and thrive very well in very small containers such as cups or small glasses.
ChristmassyCloth bag
A cloth bag is always good to have on hand. It is practical and more environmentally friendly than the plastic bags you usually use for shopping. A nice and at the same time extremely functional souvenir for Christmas is a beautiful fabric bag to decorate for Christmas. For this you need a white fabric bag (without decorations), which you can buy ready-made or sew yourself, and also textile paint, for example in red. Whether freehand or using a stencil, you can create a beautiful “Merry Christmas” font or a nice Christmas symbol. After the paint dries, don't forget to iron on the back.

Even though socks are usually considered a cliché gift for Christmas, it all depends on how they are presented. If you have chosen high-quality socks with beautiful Christmas motifs and filled them with little surprises or sweets and tied them wonderfully with a bow at the end, then there probably wouldn't be a nice Christmas souvenir for young and old.

The socks can serve wonderfully as a kind of original packaging for a good bottle of wine or other drink that you want to give as a Christmas souvenir.
