Christmas shopping for your adult friends and family can be difficult.

These guides are geared towards specific interests. You’ll be able to find something for even the toughest person on your Christmas shopping list.

Top 5 Crafts & DIY Gifts

1) Make-Your-Own BBQ Sauce Kit
A tasty DIY moment from a make-your-own BBQ sauce kit. It packs everything you need, from gloves to ingredients to bottles, into one kit that can make three bottles-worth of sweet, tangy, or spicy sauce. Stick to the step-by-step instructions or you can flex those creative muscles and try your own recipe. Pick up a few fresh ingredients and you're ready to get cooking. Made in the USA.

2) Paint by Shadows Masterpiece Art Kit
Chirpwood Paint by Shadows®: Masterpiece Paint Kit - Field of Flowers - No Frame

3) Intermediate Wooden Model Building Kit
UGEARS intermediate model kits make building a fun and engaging hands-on experience. These kits are geared towards older kids and adults looking for a more complex project. Each model is pieced together from flat, unfinished, laser-cut plywood parts that don’t need tools or glue to be assembled. The finished product has parts that move, too, to put these models in motion.

4) Home Pickling Kit
DIY pickles are easy (and oh-so tasty) with the jarred pickling kit from Curio Spice Co. A Moroccan blend and Madagascar blend and recipes are included to pickle veggies with globally-inspired flavors. The spices are directly sourced from farms and growers to ensure freshness and purity. Includes enough spices to make four jars-worth, and recipes to get you started.

5) Digital Automatic Yogurt Maker
This automatic yogurt maker sets you up with enough homemade yogurt for a week—made just how you like it. You customize flavors and ingredients like milk type, sweetness, and even thickness. The machine takes it from there, and in as little as six to ten hours, you’ve got seven perfect portions of healthy and tasty yogurt.
