Frugal Gift BasketMy craft tip is to stock up on any seasonal items that look versatile especially if it's 90% off or more. A little modpodge and floral paper flower accents changes the feel of the basket into spring/summer.

Easter basket - .39 cents, originally $3.99
Transparent giftwrap - .19 cents, originally $1.99

All the items inside the basket are items that I coupon. Estimate, I spent no more than $20 for everything when all the items inside would normally retail $85+.

Supplies:
