| Here is an idea for
grandparents. Make a personalized calendar with pictures of you and your family. It is
very simple. Buy a blank calendar or make blank pages on your computer and print them out.
Then place pictures of the grandkids and birthdays and special occasions in the blocks.
They'll love it. |
|
| Save your old
Christmas cards. Use the front of the card as a tag for presents. Just cut the card front
off and make certain that the backside is blank. Punch a hole in the top left-hand corner.
Now you are ready to write To and From on the blank side! For an extra touch you can tie
bright colored ribbon or yarn through the hole in order to tie it onto the ribbon on the
package. Not only are you saving money, you are now recycling those old cards! |
|
| Here is a great idea
for a present to a friend. Gather up pictures from the time you first met until the
present. These should include favorite memories, places you have been, and things that you
have done together. Put them in order and write a story beginning with how you met, first
impressions, where you first got to know each other, how your relationship grew, and what
you love about them. Paste one or two pictures per page, with the writing below, and
create a storybook, just for them, about your friendship. |
|
| There is nothing like
hanging ornaments on a tree. And it means even more when someone you care for has made it.
For gifts this year try picking up some ceramic Christmas ornaments to paint. You can
paint several for each friend. This way you will always be together at Christmas time. You
can also have the people you care about make an ornament for your tree! It need not be
elaborate. It can be something as simple as a snowflake or one with their picture on it. |
