You know that when people think of the holidays they think of presents. When
some people plan to give presents to friends and family, they think of objects
they could buy at the store. You know, the very expensive ones. Well, the good
presents are the ones that come from the heart. Here are some ideas to make
your gift a perfect one.
GIFTS YOU BUY FROM A STORE
If you are buying present at stores, make sure to leave a note such as, "Hope
U Have A Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah". You could also
do a poem. Something that comes from you.
HOMEMADE GIFTS
Some people don't have enough money to buy a gift from stores and only have about
$10. Well, here are some gifts you could make yourself for the price of $10 or
less and still make it perfect. (Editor's Note: And some folks
feel that when you spend time on gifts, it means a lot more than something that
cost a lot of money!)
~ MUGS TO THE RESCUE ~
Buy a regular plain mug -- you can probably find these in a 99 Cent store. Paint
it with a holiday picture, or something memorable. For example, if it was Christmas
you might paint on a snowman, Christmas tree, snow, santa, reindeer, or so on.
Just make sure the paint is permanent!
Now get your favorite chocolate bar and melt it by putting it into the microwave
for about two minutes. Put the chocolate into holiday-shaped molds. If you don't
have molds, get cookie cutters and a plastic wrap. Get the plastic wrap and
lay it flat on the surface. Now press the cookie cutter against the plastic
wrap and pour the chocolate in the cookie cutter. Hold the cookie cutter down
for at least two minutes, then let it go. Put the chocolate in the freezer quickly
and let it sit for five minutes. Bring it out and let it dry for one day. (You
might want to get a parent's help to make sure this all works.) When that's
done, put it into the mug!
You could also add cookies. Then if you want, get a card and write a poem and
also put it in the mug. Put a bow on it and there is your present!
~ BROWNIE IN A JAR ~
If you are looking for other Christmas ideas that cost little to do, I have
found another one. To do this, you need to know a good recipe for brownies.
First, get a jar and put holiday stickers on it. After that, put white glue
over it and cover it with salt. With the salt stuck to the glue, it looks all
snowy and awesome! When the glue is dry, put the brownies in the jar and remember
to include the recipe of the brownies (maybe write it out on a pretty card or
something). Put a bow on the jar, and you have the perfect gift! You could also
do this with cookies, candy, and so on.
~ HOLIDAY BOOK ~
For this gift, all you need is an album, pictures, and something to decorate
it all with. Get your pictures and put it in your album. Decorate it and attach
something sweet, like a poem or something they can have to remember it by in
the next year. On the cover, put something that has to do with the holidays.
When you are done, wrap it and give it to your friends and/or family.
~ BASKET MIRACLE ~
For this, buy a little basket. Just a little one, like what you could find in
a craft store or a 99 Cent store. Now paint it so it looks extra special and
glue beads on it or something like that. Now write a poem, and decorate it with
holiday stuff. Add it to your basket. Also add jelly beans and maybe a few chocolate
bars. Wrap it with a see-through plastic and put a bow on it. You are done!
Thses are only some ideas for holiday gifts. Be creative and remember: The
best gifts are the ones that come from the heart, not the price. And also remember
the holidays are about more than just presents. They are about spending time
with family or friends too!
Happy Holidays!!!
