Curbly Recession Busters: 5 Gifts for a Buy-Nothing Christmas
By DIY Maven
Still haven't gotten around to your Christmas or Hanukkah shopping yet? Don't. Instead, you might want to consider opting for a recession-busting, buy-nothing holiday. However, just because you don't buy anything doesn't mean you wouldn’t be giving your loved-ones gifts. For example...
- For Mom: Make housework coupons. (Here's a free printable that could work.)
- For Dad: Paint a picture of something meaningful.
- For Your Girlfriend: Make homemade, wild-flower potpourri. (Or spa stuff.)
- For Nephews and Nieces: Make a scrapbook page. (Here's something to inspire you.)
- For Your Best Friend: Go all Betty Crocker and make homemade preserves.

The uber crafty could make a cute little tuffet or upholstered footstool out of found objects and some foam rubber. Wait, that's a good idea.....

These suggestions are great! Never thought to make just a single scrapbook page for someone. Even if they don't have a scrapbook, it could be framed. So many scrapbook pages are pieces of art!
