| Thrifty Gift: Brown Sugar Scrub
|
I used an empty jar of mushrooms as a container for a brown sugar scrub. The scrub recipe was brown sugar, baby oil, and body soap. After mixing, I poured into the mushroom jar, hot-glued a fabric scrap from my baby's receiving blanket on the lid, and used a CD label cut in half for my hand lettered label.

| Plant Clippings As Gifts
|
I have a second generation spider plant that has more babies on it than I know what to do with. So this year, I clipped a few and put them in water about a month or two ago. I kept some aluminum vegetable cans (easiest to clean out) to use as pots.

| Craft: Angel Clip Necklace
|
A girl I work with made these cute necklaces for all of our co-workers one year for Christmas. This would also be a great craft for kids. You could even hang one in your car with a note, "Don't drive faster than your guardian angel can fly."

| Craft: Elegant Clamp Jar For Gift Giving
|
|
By Debra Frick
|
My daughter and I found a whole box of these clamp jars at a yard sale this summer and thought they would be perfect for Christmas so we put them away. She had the idea that she would fill them with candy or nuts for her in-laws, since her father in law loves honey roasted peanuts.

| Craft: Breakfast Gift Basket
|
I bought the basket from a garage sale this summer and added a ribbon. The only items that I had to buy was the teapot, and the tea bags. Total cost for making the basket was about $20.00 or less.

| Cookie Tin With Homemade Cookies

You can save a lot of money this holiday season by making your own gifts then give them away to family and friends. A home made gift is much more appreciated than something that you purchase from any store.

| Father's Day Photo Gift Bag
|
Most dads have a hobby. With this in mind and a photo of dad, you can turn any old gift bag into a work of art to use as wrapping for his Father's Day gift. Choose a plain gift bag that will reflect your dad's hobby, such as a blue one for fishing or a green one for golf (sample is black and white checks for auto racing).

| Getting Creative with Gifts in Jars
|
|
By Cindy Bailey
|
All year long I look for pretty jars and bottles at flea markets and junk shops for making interesting gifts. I usually don't pay more than $1 for each one, usually a lot less.

| Friendship Soup Mix in a Jar

I made "gifts in a jar" for family and friends for Christmas and for Birthdays. I have 4 children and each one of them do something to help. It's a family kinda thing for us.
