Last year we practiced frugal Christmas by doing handmade gift tags, baking home made goodies as gifts and using inexpensive gift wrappers. We did this to save on some expenses but at the same time not sacrificing value.

How did it we do it? By doing arts and crafts.

What did we do then? A lot.

Handmade tree decorations including paper stocking tree ornaments.

We gave away bargain books wrapped in Japanese paper with personalized gift tags attached. The gifts looked nice, if I may say so ;)

In a few days time, we will be starting to do our arts and crafts again. This time, I hope to include personalized photo holiday cards to give away so we can visit the post office and mail these personally.

Email me your home addresses so we can send you one ;)
