Then in November you can withdraw it for Christmas shopping. This way we have a set budget and have to stick to it. I also try to make a few gifts as well.

I started lists and gift making during the Summer months (June - July) and feel quite pleased so far. Homemade gifts are really fun making and customizing to suit each individual. This year l am making potholders, dish- and face cloths, sewn rice packs for microwave to soothe neck pains, apple jam, bath salts and lavender hearts, oh and reindeer beer (decorated bottles ).

We have been putting money away once a fortnight and it's so nice to know that little bundle of cash is slowly growing and we'll be able to indulge in a few special treats. Our wider family only does Kris Kringle so we don't have lots of presents to buy, just our children and whoever we get as KK. My husband and I don't typically buy for each other but if we have the money we might buy an artwork for the house. Gosh I get hungry just thinking about Christmas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-2189627283279790502014-09-09T05:54:28.720+10:002014-09-09T05:54:28.720+10:00I have started making Christmas gifts for friends ...I have started making Christmas gifts for friends and family too. My married lady friends are getting some pretty new pot holders, a set of 4 cloth napkins, (one family will get 8 as there are more people in the family) and a new kitchen towel with the same fabric on top of the towel (held in place with button) My husband is making HIS famous beef jerky. My unmarried lady friends are getting some cloth covered hangers. I made a few quilt squares in my time that for one reason or another they did not make it into a quilt. I took those blocks and used matching fabric on the sides to fit a good hanger. (not one of the wire hangers, but I brought a big box of NICE suit hangers) these turned out very nice if I do say so myself and I will give them with pride. Also going to give them some nice bath salts I made and put into the blue and green Mason jars.Roxie700https://www.blogger.com/profile/01763951875927210467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-64769249241370126032014-09-09T05:50:09.893+10:002014-09-09T05:50:09.893+10:00Thanks for this post I will check out the suggest...Thanks for this post I will check out the suggestions. I have started to think about Christmas. I try to get things people will use and not end up unwanted in a landfill. I so agree with starting early so you aren't so stressed. Sometimes it is hard with other bills coming up.
