#12WaysOfChristmas - DAY 5

5. The Gift of Homemade

I’m not against gift giving. I think it is a very filling and delicious experience. I find that putting time and thought into a gift is more gratifying for both the giver and the…getter. The internet is loaded with DIY gift ideas that range from simple to complex…easy to find, practical, thoughtful, and inexpensive tutorials and gift ideas! Rather than using money to buy an expensive gift with no real function or purpose, use money to purchase materials you can manipulate into a gift literally “made with love”.

A great gift idea that costs nothing but time is a “coupon booklet” where the giver creates each coupon to benefit the getter.

For example, if you’re making one for your mom. A few coupon ideas could include:

-One Free Spa day. (Complete with refreshments, face masks, and great conversation.)

-Buy 4 years of tuition, get unlimited hugs for free!

-One Mama’s Day Off Pass. (Relieve yourself of family obligations and take a mini get away while we handle ourselves.)

-One Free Neck Massage

Those are just a few ideas, and I left a link to ideas below. Customize the coupon to whoever the gift is for! It’s a cute gift that shows someone you know them well, and know what they like, and what they need. If you really want them to get put to use, use expiration dates ;).

I can't post a picture of what I made for presents because...well...they're presents!

Sooooo, if you get crafty this holiday in such a way POST A PICTURE !!
