Have a Recycled Christmas |
|
|
While reading my ThriftyFun newsletter and leaving an answer for someone regarding less expensive Christmas shopping, an idea popped into my head. If your family would be willing, check it out now, how about a recycled Christmas? Everyone has something in their home that they never, or seldom, use. Give it as a 'white elephant' Christmas gift.
In my apartment building some of the tenants draw names for a secret Santa gift exchange. Many of the gifts turn out to be 'recycled' or homemade. Most of us are retired seniors with limited income.
What you can't use, probably someone else can.

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.
