It’s that time of year when you have to sort out your
Christmas list. The annual challenge of spending some serious thinking time
about what gifts to choose for family and friends. Maybe you have one of those relatives who
already have everything! Or maybe you’re on a budget and need to economise?
Whatever your dilemmas, Daisy the Dog has some ingenious money saving tips on how to conquer Christmas.
Save all the Christmas cards from last year. Simply cross
out and swap over the “To”s and “From”s and mail them back. Following this
simple strategy is a “win, win” situation, you won’t forget anyone and all that
recycling will be doing your bit to save the planet.
Have a poke around in the loft. Maybe you have a remnant of
carpet laying around. Only, it’s not an old piece of carpet, it’s a high quality,
ergonomically designed yoga mat. An ideal gift, quite unlike anything they have
received before.
The puppy came in the other day with a stick which he
proceeded to chew into a hundred small pieces. I gathered them up into a
cellophane bag and sprayed them with a mixture of 1 part ladies, perfume, 1
part deodorant and a sprinkling of washing powder and tied it all up with a bow.
This was now a gift bag of potpourri – infused with mystic aromas of the
rainforest.
