Happy Thriftmas!
There’s no need to brave the mall crowds, stress out or empty your wallet during the holidays as you may have the perfect prezzie combination already lurking around the house!
Snag some festive inspiration, put together a few quick & easy upcycled container gifts and spread some eco-friendly cheer this year!
Grab a cleaned out coffee can, cover it with whatever festive bits of paper or fabric you have on hand, pop in the prezzie and gift it away! (check out the personalized DIY inside of mine right here)
Raid your cupboards for a decorative container, sort through your your bits n bobs and put together a “relax basket” for someone who could use a break this season.
Snag a clean plastic jar or small margarine tub + a few travel or sample sized bathroom bits from your stash and whip up a beauty box in minutes! (quick tip: poke a hole through the plastic lid & feed the string of a bathpuff through it to create an adorably useful gift topper)
Give the gift of yum with a thrifted serving bowl filled with the ingredients for their fave side dish! Wrap it all up in a merry preloved table cloth and proudly present your clever prezzie. Make that vintage bowl sparkle with my simple cleaning tricks.
Who doesn’t have a a few jokey books laying around? Snag one + a roll of toilet paper and pop them in a reusable shopping bag for the perfect pottytime prezzie! (a mini air freshener or scented candle & travel sized TP moistener are fab additions if you have them)
Create an adorable Fairy in Jar Night Light from bits you already have around the house with my quick step by step tutorial here.
Everyone has an extra cup (or even a mini teapot) in their cupboard so why not put together a lovely “me-time” gift? Pop some herbal teabags + a treat into the cup or teapot then wrap with those bits of paper in your stash!
Create the perfect themed gift with a bit of adventurous shelf digging at the thrift shop + a sort through your kiddo’s stash!
I discovered 4 delightful wind up dinos + an unopened Pteranodon building kit too! Once everything had been cleaned I popped the dinosaurs into a plastic fruit tub, put the whole shebang into a colourful pillowcase and tied it shut & ready for gifting. (clean up those fun plastic finds with these easy steps!)
