The holidays aren't just a good excuse to buy handmade gifts, they're a good excuse to make gifts. I asked the Twitter and the Facebook to tell me what they're making this holiday season – perhaps you'll be inspired to make something, too.

- Ok, I'll start. I'm crocheting a shawl to give to someone I totally won't be mentioning here because OMG that would blow the surprise. I'm also toying with knitting a scarf and a hat for other people. And possibly sewing some stuff. But that's getting into the territory called "unrealistic".
- Kimli's madly crafting in preparation for Got Craft?.
- Speaking of Got Craft?, the organizer has this to say about what she's making: "Dude. It looks like a craft fair threw up over here. Tables spread out, ironing board out, fabric / thread / wool ... everywhere."
- Kyrsten Jensen's and Monica's knitting group is doing a Festivus swap.
- Kyrsten's also making origami cranes for her tree and plans to make jam for the first time (hopefully not for her tree). She's also making knitting-project bags and baking cookies.
- Michael Joyce is going to knit a hat and scarf.
- KelleBelleCa says: "I took the Handmade Pledge 2 yrs ago & try to stick to it. This year it's knits, baking, canning, & BBQ rub blends for everyone!" She's also making fingerless mitts for the SFU-Surrey Winter Market.
- Donnamatrix is making soap.
- Artist Rachael Ashe "will be making paper-based work, like altered books, collages, and this snow flake panel."
- Steffani Cameron is baking, not crafting – low-fat walnut-cranberry granola and old-fashioned brown-sugar candy.
