You're going to love this tip because it's a huge money saver! As you know, the cost of buying a Christmas tree every year is downright expensive. That's why about 20 years ago; we purchased a nice quality artificial Christmas tree. We bought it at Frank's Nursery and it still looks like the day we bought it. It's a beautiful tree; it looks real, and you don't have to worry about watering it or picking up dead needles. Best of all, you don't have to fork out $50.00 to $150.00 a year for a tree. Our artificial paid for itself in 2-3 years! I would suggest you visit your local nursery shops. Also, you can visit Home Depot, Lowes and shop around on the internet to make sure you're getting a quality tree at a good price. A couple of good indicators: the tree should look real and be backed up by at least a 10 year warranty.
Here's a low cost stocking idea. If you have the time, you can go to your local crafts store to get the materials and directions to make your own stockings. We did this years ago and they're gorgeous. Another alternative would be for you to buy inexpensive red felt stockings (most discount stores carry them) and sheets of the felt at your local craft outlet. Then, you can cut out the shapes from the felt and glue whatever patterns you like. You can do a Santa Clause, snowman, snowflakes, you name it! Our good friend did this and their stockings look great.
As you know, Christmas presents are not cheap. This makes inexpensive stocking stuffers all the more important to help keep more cash in your pocket. Among other cheap Christmas gift ideas, stocking stuffers are a great gift giving tradition. As far as importance, many kids, including ours, will run to open their stockings first. So it's nice to put something special in there that doesn't break the bank of course. Here you'll find great frugal holiday gift ideas that you family will love.
