			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re hoping to make some handmade paper gifts this holiday season for friends and family, now is the time to do it. With a little planning, hard work, and creativity, you can give your loved ones unique, heartfelt gifts that they&#8217;re not likely to get anywhere else.</p>
<p>Handmade paper can be gifted to nearly anyone on your holiday list. If you can&#8217;t think of something for that special someone, why not try&#8230;<span id="more-93"></span><strong>Mother: </strong>What mom doesn&#8217;t want more photos of her children and grandchildren? Make her a one of a kind handmade photo frame with some gorgeous handmade paper featuring her favorite floral prints and tuck in a photo of you and your family for her to admire all year long.</p>
<p><strong>Father: </strong>Give Dad something to really show off in his office by making him a bold and bright handmade paper sculpture. Maybe he likes origami, or he&#8217;s an M.C. Escher fan; either way, add some of those themes into your creation.</p>
<p><strong>Grandparents:</strong> While more and more grandparents are logging online these days, most still have a fond place in their hearts for good old fashioned letters. A lovely set of handmade stationary featuring your grandmother&#8217;s favorite scent or your grandfather&#8217;s favorite colors, perhaps in a small basket with some stamps and a nice pen, would make a great gift.</p>
<p><strong>Sister:</strong> Does she have a wedding or other special event coming up? Make her some beautiful customized invitations, or a simple set of cards for all occasions.</p>
<p><strong>Brother: </strong>Give the gift of music and art by making a personalized CD featuring some of your joint favorites, complete with a handmade paper &#8220;album art&#8221; cover.</p>
<p><strong>Best Friend:</strong> Make your own handmade scrapbook for him or her to put favorite photos in. Tuck in a few of your favorites if you like.</p>
<p><strong>Child:</strong> A hand bound &#8220;All About Me&#8221; journal with plenty of room to draw and write would be wonderful for a child of any age. Personalize it with a photo on the cover, or draw your own image in.</p>
