Thrifty Money-Saving Tips Great
Gift Kits for Children & Book Swaps
I love giving my
children gifts that encourage a hobby, so I assemble a "kit" they can
use to really dive in and learn a new hobby or interest. This is easy to
do on a budget and really creates a unique gift.
More...
1) I start out by getting books about
their hobby. To do this inexpensively, I trade books at Paperbackswap.com.
I get rid of books I don't want and get books I do want. All you pay is
the price to mail your books to a person who wants them, then you get credit to
choose any book you want, at no cost. You can search for books you want by
keyword, genre, or title or author. You can even get audio books! Jewelry-making Kit - books on making jewelry, beads, clasps and string or wire. Gardening Kit - beginning gardening book, packets of seeds, pot and small bag of soil. Cooking/Baking Kit - recipe books, packaged in a mixing bowl with a spatula or other utensil - you could also include the ingredients for a special recipe. Drawing Kit - drawing books, drawing pencils, a drawing pad. Christmas Kit - include Christmas books or craft project books, include some hot chocolate packages, paper & scissors for making snowflakes (look for audio books). Paper Airplane Kit - include a book with instructions and cool paper for the planes. Science Experiment Kit - experiment book,
with household items needed to do the experiments. * * * July 2009 Tip Rewards Winner!!!
