BIRTHDAY GIFTS
Always buy solid
colored bags for your gifts. How
many times do you end up getting them back anyway.
Decorate them with ribbons, bows, stickers, or let your kids
decorate them. They're a
lot cheaper then those fancy bags. My sisters and I were sick of trying to figure out what to buy each other for birthdays. Now every year we purchase a magazine subscription for the birthday girl off of ebay and our only rule is that it can't be more than $10! Talk about a win/win - I love magazines!! Instead of birthday gifts for all your niececs or granddaughters, buy some beads with letters on them, elastic and more fancy beads and make each of them a personalized bracelet or necklace. For gift giving, you can also just buy plain white boxes and decorate them with ribbons, stamps or stickers instead of wrapping paper.
Instead of buying a box for the gift, get a sand pail for younger kids and a basket for adults and put the gift in that. This way the toy/basket can be part of the gift too! Make up gift baskets as a gift. You can easily buy a basket at a dollar store. Then depending on the person/occasion you can buy flower seeds, herbs, little painted pots, garden tools, etc. Put together a gift basket for a friend with socks (black and brown), foot creams, lotions, polish, etc! Or do the same thing but for your hands instead of your feet! Another great gift for kids, depending on their age, is puzzles. They/re a great gift that's always forgotten about. Those plain, cream colored hand bags are always perfect to stencil or stamp on. Decorate it with their name or favorite character and put the puzzles inside. This way they have a place to keep them so the pieces aren't lost so easily. Another great idea is a magazine subscription - for cheap!
