Dear Santa,
I would like to save money
this Christmas please…
Normally I dread
when people start to speak about Santa’s visit because of the money that is
spent but this Christmas I am going to be trying everything that I can to save
some money but still give people thoughtful & great gifts. Here is one of
my ideas that I will be trying this year –
I first thought of
buying empty jam jars but I couldn’t find any that were cheap enough so I
waited until my mum burned her candles which come in jars and I washed them out
and peeled away the label.
Once I have got the
jar I am going to fill it with each person’s favourite sweets. One of my aunties
loves jelly beans so hers will be filled with them but half way through filling
the jar up I am going to hide a piece of jewellery in a cute wee box, not
something really expensive, probably something from a jewellery maker I know.
Then to finish it
off I am going to tie a piece of ribbon (their favourite colour) round the top
with a small card with a quote that explains our relationship. I don’t know if
it’s really cheesy or not but I think it’s really meaningful and that’s exactly
the type of gifts I like to give.
I’ll hopefully be
going to macro this weekend to get sweeeeeeets. Once I’ve done my first one I
will post some photos of the finished result.
Blether again soon...
