Like many today, my family is on a tight budget and we have several family get togethers for the holidays. I am looking for some inexpensive fun and original ideas for gifts. For adults and children. I can do small crafts that does not entail sewing and food.
Any ideas and recipes would be appreciated.
Thanks
some ideas that I have that I need suggestion for:
-rice sock for heat therapy
-recipes in a jar-
-ornaments
But any other idea is welcomed too!
I will do food like cookies in a jar, baked cookies, candies, etc— I just don’t want to sew
