 Recession Proof Your Gift Giving
DAY 5
What does this time of the year mean to you? What is the reason for the season? I believe it is to remember and share with one another.
More sharing from me:
1) Purchase a pretty jar and write/type on small colored strips of paper as many positive aspects about the recipient of the gift as you can. Put a pretty ribbon, bow around the jar, and give it to them. It helps people to know that we see the good in them. This gift keeps on giving.
2) Write a special note on decorative paper and let the individual know that you will be praying for them for thirty days or whatever timeframe you desire.
3) Amazon has books, audio-books and CD's, that are used or like new and they are a fraction of what you would pay at a regular bookstore. I have personally purchased books and CD's that cost $1.00, $3.00 and are in perfect condition. If you know someone who enjoys reading or listening to music you can explore Amazon and see what treasures you can find.
4) A family collage would be a wonderful family gift. If you have lots of pictures of friends you may also choose to do a collage for your friends. Frame the collages with frames you purchased from the discount stores. A gift to remember.
5) Anyone would appreciate "prepaid photo developing envelopes".
6) Give a Specialty Cookbook for the person that loves to cook or wants to learn how to cook specialty dishes. If you would like to share your creative ideas send me an e-mail and I will post them. loridey@aol.com
