One week to go until the big day! We finally got a little snow here! I love Christmas; I love the decorations, spending time with my family, eating food, and opening presents. If you still have some gifts to buy and you’re getting short on funds, I have some great ideas for you!

Bath Salt/Scrub

In the past I have bought some Epsom salts, adding essential oils and coloring and made personalized bath soak for Christmas. It’s super easy to make and not expensive. I would buy a big jug of Epsom salts; mix them in a bowl with a few drops of essential oil and food coloring. You can also add coconut oil or olive oil to make a scrub! Put in a cute jar and it’s ready to give.

Bake Something

Who doesn’t love a homemade treat? I love baking cookies and sharing them at Christmas! You could make a loaf, cookies or even fudge! In an afternoon you could make some sweet gifts ready to go.

Make a Donation In Their Name

Donate to a cause that the person is passionate about. Usually you can get some kind of certificate that you can wrap and give as your present.

Something Crafty

If you are able to knit or crochet, make them something homemade. I have also made wreathes, painted signs and made Christmas ornaments to give as gifts.

Your Time

Give someone the gift of your time and energy. Spend some time cooking with them, having coffee, going to a movie or for a hike. You can also get a gift certificate for something to do together! It’s usually more appreciated than a gift.
