Things worth giving that you can make yourself

Handmade gifts have a problem: they can take forever.

Which is why I love this little bundle for gift-proofing. The Crochet Confidence Starter has six projects, and most of them double as genuinely good gifts:

• A hair scrunchie: fast, cute, always appreciated

• An ear warmer with a twist detail that looks way harder than it is

• A striped cat beanie, customisable to whoever you're making it for

• A cup cozy that fits basically any size mug

None of these take a week of evenings. All of them say "I made you something" without the guilt of starting six months in advance.
