This time of year is very expensive for almost everyone, especially large families. The current economic climate is certainly not helping things! Finding that extra bit of money for christmas presents and all the trimming that surround this time of year is often no easy task.
One great way to save some money is to make your own gifts. Here are some of my suggestions to create stylish, unique personalised gifts that wont cost you the earth.
Make your own soaps or candles
Using a soap making or candle making kit allows you to make high quality products that cost you a fraction of the price, if you purchased the completed products. Armiga has a great selection of craft kits. Their handmade soap kit allows you to make up to 12 bars of gorgeous soap. Add some nice wrapping and ties and they make great gifts. The kit only costs 12.49 so that is 1.04 a bar!! Or try your hand at candle making with their candle making craft kit, only costs 18.50 and makes up to 20 candles which works out at only 0.92 per candle. Giving homemade presents not only adds a personal touch but they are also unique, cheaper and aids the learning of a new skill or hobby.
Make your own jewellery
Pandora style beads are becoming increasingly popular, as the authentic brand are very expensive. Armiga has a huge selection of silver plated pandora style beads, spacers, bracelets and pandora style accessories. There are lots of tips and design ideas on their website. The silver plated bracelets are only 1.99 and beads from 0.99 so your can make very stylish expensive looking jewellery from a small budget.
