DoIt Yourself is not just something you resort to when your budget is running low. It is a whole philosophy of living. The DIY ethic is an attempt at living as sustainably as possible by maximizing the possibilities to adapt, re-use and repair the things around us. Also, to only resort to new purchases when those possibilities have been exhausted. And let’s not forget that a gift you’ve put your though, effort and craftsmanship is usually a meaningful gift.

In this way we battle the consumerist impulse to buy and replace as soon as something breaks down.

When it comes to gifts, DIY is not only a counterpoint for the corporate commercialization of holidays, but also a way to enrich the presents we are handing out with extra meaning, through the effort and handwork we’ve put in creating them.
