Stress levels high and cash flow low this holiday season? Forget the traffic and the malls. Why not try something different this year?
Try exchanging homemade gifts. Homemade gifts are an inexpensive and fun alternative. Explain to your friends or family that the gift is not important, and that the point is to have fun. Get creative! If you have artistic talent create a cool piece of art for your friend’s new apartment or drab office. If you love to bake, give away a batch of your famous double-fudge brownies. Give your sister a framed photo of the two of you in Europe. Knit a scarf; write a song, make a card, or anything!
The holidays are a time to have fun with family and friends. Give homemade gifts this year!
