I have been thinking about this also.Most of my family are into recycling,being green etc.It's time we took it a step further and cut out the excessive packaging of Christmas.I love to bake so this Christmas I will be making Christmas gifts in the form of cakes,cookies and fudge.I love the idea of recycling items you already own to someone else.Some people call it re-gifting I call it practical and more earth friendly.
Why not carry it a step further and give a gift of one of your possessions that someone else has admired? That way you know that the gift will be , "just right " for the receiver. Homemade gifts are real treasures as you are giving 2 gifts in 1--- your time and the gift itself. The former is priceless as we can never get more time and the latter is thoughtful to say the least.
Great idea. Also now is the time to start shopping for items on sale to put away for Christmas gifts.
Hi there Linda
What a good idea. It makes you de-clutter your own home at the same time. Easier than having a garage or car boot sale

Love this idea! Sort of like going to a garage sale, only you didn't have to pay for anything! :-D
Great idea! Christmas is also a great occasion to pass on family heirlooms and other sentimental things like photos, etc.
