7 personalised gifts you can make instead of buy

‘Tis the season to get crafty! Personalised gifts are the perfect antidote to inane and often unnecessarily expensive Christmas gifting. The magic of Christmas can sometimes get a little lost amidst a time when consumerism is at its peak. 

This is why making something special for your loved ones can be so rewarding. Besides, it’s a great opportunity to get creative and have some fun whilst you’re at it. So, if you’re looking to inject some heart and soul into your gifts this year, you’ve come to the right place. Make these brilliant personalised gifts with Sugru Mouldable Glue.
