DIY Gift Making Day

Friday, November 28 | 10 AM – 4 PM
Rooted and Gather Café & Bookstore | 339 Avery Creek Rd, Arden, NC

Slow down the holiday rush and savor a day of creativity, connection, and cozy moments at Rooted and Gather’s DIY Gift Making Day! Bring your family or a few friends and enjoy crafting thoughtful, handmade gifts in our warm, Christ-centered space.

Choose from a variety of simple, meaningful projects like sugar scrubs, photo coasters, air dry clay trinket trays, car air diffusers, and hot cocoa bombs—each designed to make your loved ones smile. Create one or several gifts—pay per project or enjoy a discount when you make four or more.

Enjoy the sights and sounds of the season with Christmas music, complimentary hot cocoa, and festive Polaroid keepsakes while you craft. Floating staff will be available throughout the day to offer guidance and inspiration.

Take time to pause at our Scripture Reflection Station, where you can write a prayer or blessing card for the person receiving your handmade gift—a small way to share the love of Christ through every creation.

Whether you come for an hour or stay all afternoon, this open-house style event is the perfect way to kick off your Christmas season with creativity, community, and joy.
