Hey guys just a heads up since it’s getting closer to Christmas season,

Handmade gifts mean just as much, if not more. Thrifting gifts can also be great depending on the person and the object. Pick a craft or hobby you’re good at and work with it.

Some things you could do:

Paint custom Christmas ornaments for everyone

Knit or crochet something

Sew something

Make bracelets and necklaces

Bake sweet treats

Write everyone a poem

Paint or sketch pictures for everyone

Make candles

Make little scrapbooks

Decorate a purse

Frame a picture with some dried flowers

Write a letter

Annotate a book

Thrift a mug and pair it with some fluffy socks and a warm drink mix

If anyone needs DIY gift ideas that can be relatively cheap let me know! I know how hard it is to afford things these days!

CHRISTMAS ON A BUDGET: 11 TIPS TO SAVE MONEY AND LAUGH MORE THIS SEASON

It is said that the average Christmas spending per household is around $800. That is a whole lot of money.
