I have set myself a challenge to do Christmas this year for £20! I know crazy right?! I work in retail and Christmas starts early decorations come out at the end of September and it is a long old slog to Christmas. After working in a shop all day the last thing I can be bothered to do is trudge round the shops buying Christmas presents for my family and friends, spending £100 or so on things they may not even like.
The last few years I have made presents for family members but this still didn't prove to be very cheap (although much more enjoyable than shopping). So this year I am taking the challenge further my £20 Christmas includes:
- Presents
- Decorations
- Wrapping paper
- Cards
- Postage
I'm going to keep boxes to put presents in and keep the wrapping paper simple- maybe just brown paper with old ribbons I have stashed from last Christmas. I have last years Chrsitmas cards I can use to make tags or to make into new cards.
Is anyone else setting themselves a Christmas challenge this year?
Brilliant idea and you can certainlt do it as you are a resourceful clever young lady. My challenge - again- is to make as much as possible from my stash of craft stuff, third year in a row.
