I have a few people to buy for this year and once again thinking how to do this frugally and sustainability (I get a bit sick when I see mountains of plastic crap in the shops). Any ideas?
Some things I have done in the past:
- Little plant cuttings in jars (got some on the go again this year)
- Op shops and second hand gifts - look for unusual things from the op shop. This works well for some but not unless they are a bit quirky themselves
- Buying a bunch of treats/snacks and doing my own hampers up.
- Baked goods - I always make a big batch of spice cookies and a couple of slices. I am crappy at packing them nicely tho, but I can cook.
I am not great at crafts but I will try anything!
At thrift shops (same as Op shops?) look for attractive containers to put those baked good into. Maybe biscotti in a nice coffee cup or cookies in an attractive old canning jar. That sort of thing.
