To start off your holiday season right and the most
inexpensive you can, you start by becoming your own
best creative director of the gift giving. That is what I
am calling it this season. Times are tough, people are
losing jobs or losing money in the stock market, etc. So
we need to be shifty in what we spend our money on. I have
done pretty good this year saving money and still had a terrific
day with my children and fiance’. I was shocked to see that with my
immediate family they were more concerned with me cooking them
a great meal and hanging out with mom that presents were not
a big deal. I am so very proud of my children . They gave me the
greatest gift of love and there time this year. It really brought back
the traditional Christmas I so craved. So, here are 4 great ways
to help with your empty pockets…
1. Instead of using wrapping paper, recycle your shopping bags
from the grocery store. It is funny to look at but it does the job.
2. Make a gift from the heart. Take photo’s from around the house
that you knew one day you’d get to putting them into an album.
Put them in individual albums for each member of the family and
make them there own to each persons personality. It’s fun to do,
it brings back great memories and always a great gift.
3. Give gas gift cards. Everyone needs to get gas and now the prices
are low, they are not expensive and always needed.
4. Last but not least. Make a coupon book. Decorate it as you like
and put things it in like one great dinner by Darlene. You can also
Put in it one back massage or I will clean your house for you when
you want, etc. I did this and I kinda wish I wasn’t to free with
my services. I’m tired. LOL:) no really I feel good about it and
it was a big hit with the family.
I hope you enjoy and use my ideas for next year or your next big
holiday. Please have a save and Merry holiday season.
