Flat Broke For Christmas Now What
Dig Down Deep
Money tight and pockets almost empty
We love to give things and we want to find the perfect gift
But Christmas can't be a wish list
We need money to buy presents at the store
Without presents we have no gifts
Simply put
Think again
What is Christmas all about ?
Gifts or giving
So lets see what we can do
Think back years ago when you got a gift you really didn't like
That broke after a few uses
Something you wanted so bad but it never was what you thought it would be
These were nice gifts but it wasn't long after they meant nothing
Lets make gifts out of what we already have
So lets find some gifts that we have laying around
Jewelry that you don't use
Clothes that don't fit
A new can opener when you have three
Those beautiful fancy dishes you take out once a year
A bottle of wine you got as a gift
The new ink you had to your old printer that broke
A gas card you found pushed way in back in one of your draws
The new ice scraper that you forgot about
These are all gifts that can be regifted
Now you have to use your imagination
These gifts are small and you want to give something bigger
Make each gift nicer by adding the personal touch
Make coupons that you can cut out
A homemade dinner for two
Ten free backrubs for someone you love
Put each gift with a special note
Things that you would do for them
It could be baby sitting for there three kids on a Saturday night
Mowing there grass five times (be careful they might want you in the summer when you have plans)
So include when I am available or Wednesdays only
You can be there dream house cleaner for a month
A snow shoveler when it snows
A chauffeur to drive them around for the day
Offer to take out there trash out every week for two months
If your handy or any job your good at
Sew them a little purse let them pick out the colors
An oil change on their car
I would keep it simple
How about 5 car washes you can do at your house
Give away to your friend your baseball collection he always loved
The same one that you don't look at anymore
Keep looking and you might just find more than you ever thought
Old books that sat on a shelf to someone who loves to read
The possibilities are endless
A Merry Christmas and good luck in your search
Finding all your wonderful thoughtful gifts
