*Christmas Gifts for Love and Money*
by Sandra Hedditch
Christmas is a time for Love Peace and Giving. How better to show your love
to someone than by making them a gift yourself.
People appreciate presents that someone has put effort and love into. Plus
at this time of year people are looking for unique presents for their
friends and family, so this is a great time to get yourself a local market
stall to sell your crafts.
So if you are stuck for ideas on how to get started. I have some to suit
your budget. Let me get your imagination flowing.
First think of the person you want to give a gift to, what are their
interests or hobbies?
Let's say you know a keen Gardner. A watering can would make a great vessel
to use as a gift basket, make it unique by painting some flowers -
butterflies or the persons name on it, then fill it with packets of seeds,
plant food, small tools, gardening gloves and some nice hand cream.
Wrap the whole watering can in cellophane and there is a great personalized
gift basket.
How about someone that likes to write?
A square basket filled with note paper, matching envelopes, pens and
pencils, rubber stamps to decorate plain paper and envelopes, letter opener,
and some toffees to help them think. Use some pretty colored tissue paper
for filling cover in cellophane.
A great gift for Children is a Coloring gift box.
Use a plastic box with lid, put in some coloring in books, assorted colored
craft paper, stickers, pack of pencils, crayons, paint box and brushes a pot
for water, rounded safety scissors, rubber stamps and ink pads.
As this box has a lid it can be wrapped in the traditional way or if selling
at a market leave open for show.
What about the person that loves wine?
A basket with wine glasses, cooling bucket, assorted cheese and crackers
cork screw and of course a nice bottle of wine,
See how easy it is this works with any interest or hobby your loved ones or
friends have, you just need a little imagination.
Gift boxes are easy to put together and can be made for all seasons.
You can make Christmas Gift boxes to sell in different sizes to suit peoples
pockets.
Here are a few ideas of things to put in the boxes or baskets:
- Decorated matching paper plates - cups - napkins.
- Table decoration - napkin rings
- Assorted nuts - nut cracker
- Chocolates - candy canes - cookies - mince pies
- Pack of Christmas cards - gift labels - wrapping paper,
- For the Pet, dog chews, bone shaped biscuits, squeaky, toy, brush, collar and leash.
I am sure you can think of many other things to add to this list just think
what you would like to receive, you can make all these look great with
cellophane and ribbons remember presentation is what sells.
Christmas is not the only time people are looking for that special gift.
Birthdays happen every day of the year plus
- Easter
- Mothers day
- Fathers day
- Halloween
Gift boxes and baskets are only one craft idea, there are many other crafts
that you can do to make money with, all you need to do is find one you love,
example: quilting for baby prams and cots, New Mums love these, or Jewelry
for teens just look at how many places on their bodies they have pierced,
Ears, nose, eyebrow, navel...
And if you like painting Folk art is very popular and not limited to just
canvas you can create wonderful paintings on anything that you fancy. Stones
make paper weights or a piece of wood can become a coat hanger, key holder,
childs door plaque.
Let your imagination go wild. Craft can be a fun business and I have found
the more you do the more ideas you get, before long you are creating your
own unique crafts.
