The first thing you have to remember is, don't panic. Make your list, have a budget in mind, and let's get to it.

Varios días atrás estaba hablando con mis amigas sobre lo que Santa Claus o Papá Noel y los tres Reyes Magos regalan a nuestros hijos. Yo les contaba como en mi casa, mis padres nos dabán los mejores regalos el 6 de enero en vez de diciembre 25.

Mis amigas me decían que ellas no recibían regalos de los Reyes Magos; sino más bien que era un día para estar en familia y quizás recibir un par nuevo de zapatos o alguna prenda de vestir nueva que necesitaran. En fin, era cuestión de recibir un detalle pequeño y ya. Que quede claro, que en mi opinión que respeto mucho la ocasión que tú decides regalar, lo importante es demostrar nuestro cariño y afecto con nuestros seres queridos.

With Christmas just around the corner, I'm starting to seriously think about what I'd like to give as gifts to my family and friends. Typically, I would just search the stores until I find the perfect thing for each person. But then I realized that there's something even more special that I can get my loved ones: a special straight-from-the-heart gift.

That's why this year I've decided to make my OWN holiday gifts. The best part is that I found that do-it-yourself holiday gifts are much easier than you can imagine. With our guide to the 20 most amazing DIY holiday gifts for the whole family, you'll be able to find someone for everyone—whether it's your abuelita who wants to grow her own cilantro, your daughter who wants some new bangles, your hubby who's eyeing a new laptop sleeve, your friend who's addicted to Mexican hot chocolate or anyone else who loves to play, exercise, cook, look stylish, entertain and even those what-could-I-possible-get-them relatives.
