Containing five chapters, Paper Craft Projects; Stitched and Beaded Goodies; Molded and Sculpted Treasures; Make, Bake, and Create Treats; and Beautifully Wrapped Projects, there should be something here for everyone. Step-by-step illustrations are photographed, numbered and captioned. A "You will need," graphic is included for each project. Gift giving or usage tips are included too. From the "beaded lizard" page,

"These cute lizards make perfect gifts for everyone, including dads, uncles, and brothers. They can be used as key rings, or hung from belts, backpacks, or even on curtains!"

Cards, cookies, candle jars, banks, and decorations ... there's a little bit of everything here. These crafts are not for the very young, and some may require a little adult assistance. Yes, instructions for these or similar gifts can likely be found on Pinterest or other sites, but Make your own Gifts is attractive, lays flat, and is readily available when the cable or wi-fi goes out.
