Recession Proof Your Gift Giving
 
 
I would like to share with you some creative ideas for giving this year.  Many people are not in a position to give holiday gifts as they have in the past.  So, let's look at how you can stay within a budget or not spend very much money for the holidays and still give gifts.
 
No matter what your financial situation, giving in a different way this year can make a difference in your life and someone else's life. 
 
Each day you will receive a creative gift idea with a quote, enjoy. 
If you have any ideas you would like to share please feel free to send them to

DAY 4
 
"It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things that money can't buy." 

~George Horace Lorimer~


I am really having fun sharing these ideas with you.  Are you receiving value from these suggestions?  Do you have any creative ideas of your own?  Enjoy these new ideas:     

Bake your favorite bread for someone special and include the recipe.  

Other basket ideas.  Fill a basket with deli cheese and fruit, for the craft lovers you can give the gift of craft supplies, a pretty basket filled with special jams or mustards, for the gardener in your life, gardening gloves with a plant or flower seeds.  

For the avid reader in your life, fancy magazines tied together with a pretty ribbon. 

For the movie goers or for those that never get to go to the movies but would like to, movie theater gift certificates.     

Something different, Note cards with a book of stamps.
