Creative Gift Giving
Posted on December 14, 2009 : Filed under Special Occasions, Twelve Days of Christmas
During the Christmas season one of the most difficult challenges for many is what gift to give. Over the last few years many have opted for a gift card, but even they can be complicated. Can they find something they would like at the store chosen? Is there a store of that chain in their area? Is it too impersonal?
Why not try a new twist on this idea? Find out the gift receiver’s favorite candy bar. Purchase a snack size bag of that candy. Then wrap each miniature bar with a crisp dollar bill. You may want to top each tiny package with a piece of red ribbon. For just a few dollars you will have a unique personalized gift.

Very fun idea, Page! Although in Canada that would get pricey because our lowest denomination of paper money is $5. I do love the idea though… it’s got my creative juices flowing!
