Good morning again
There is more to gift giving than going to the store and buying a gift, wrapping it and giving it.
Give your time: Offer to take down and pack up decorations, babysit or make dinner for a loved one. Take a friend out for lunch or pick up the tab for theater or movie tickets.
Make an album of candid camera shots or put them in a suitable frame as gifts. This is a great idea for a wedding anniversary gift to a spouse as well.
Make personalised recipe book for someone who loves to cook or a list of the top 100 movies and a gift certificate to a video rental store for a movie lover.
Personalize a store bought item (like a towel) by sewing on initials in a contrasting thread or iron-on lettering. Etch names or patterns onto glass items like vases or wine glasses.
For someone with a sweet tooth, baked items such as cookies, muffins or breads wrapped in a cloth napkin in a pretty basket is a gift with a difference. Baskets can be bought at craft stores on sale for song!
Happy saving!
Thrifty
