Are You Stuck on a Budget This Christmas?

I almost forgot that i still have this blog hehehe. apologies. Anyway, since Christmas is near, I think I will have to post something all about Christmas for this month only. Hmm.. So today, I am done wrapping gifts for my family, friends, and god-kids. My friend and I went to the mall to help her get some stuffs for his family and friends too. She's quite stuck on a budget, but i helped her manage the available cash that she had. Good thing we bought stuffs that fits her budget.

Anyways, if you too are stuck on a budget, just don't turn your back on the holidays just yet. here are little tips that I'd like to share which will surely work for you too:

• Handmade gifts: You don't have to get them expensive gifts, ya know. the key is to utilize your talents (i know all of us have unique talents) and put extra time and thoughts into your Christmas presents. If you're good on cooking, cook good food for your loved ones or for the gathering. How about baking? Well, make some batches of tasty cookies, nicely wrap them, and distribute! If you're artsy person, make some beaded accessories for friends. Just like this:

• 

( i made them :) sorry the image is quite blurry, i just used my webcam :p)

• Gifts of self: The best gift to give other is your time, sometimes. I haven't been spending time with my family lately. So i promised my siblings that I will treat them a movie and go malling, play arcade games with them. treat mom and dad for dinner, spa and massage.

Well, that's all i can think of for now. I think this will also help you save some money, as i have saved a lot. And, you will be able to make those people happy and special.
