12 Days of Frugal Gifts

Follow www.TheBudgetQueen.com on Facebook

What to do when your Christmas budget is oh so small? You can put together some gifts with a little inspiration. I will share ideas through this series- "12 Days of Frugal Gifts". The first gift idea will be shared tomorrow, but until then, I have a little idea for your holiday gathering if you and your gift recipients are in a truly frugal mindset. 

I call it "Frugal Santa" and it is a game I play every year with my friends who join me for my Budget Queen December coupon swap. You don't need to spend any money. Each of you will bring a wrapped gift-something you already have at home, that is re-giftable. It might be framed art of some sort, a nice vase or a book that is nearly new. The idea is to find something that is re-giftable that you are willing to part with. It might be something that no longer fits your decor, but would be a nice addition to someone else's home. You get the idea.

Each person will bring their wrapped gift and then you will proceed to play the steal-a-gift game in the traditional style. Everyone will go home with something new to them. Voila! Frugal Santa. 

The 12 Days of Frugal Gifts starts tomorrow with Sewn Gifts.
