Have Children Make Homemade Gifts

One of the best things you can do with your children is have them make homemade gifts when gifts are necessary.

By having your children make homemade gifts, your children will put a lot of thought into the gift. He or she will want to come up with an idea, collect materials to make the gift, and spend time putting it together. This will show them that their time is special.

Materials for homemade gifts are usually not that expensive. These are materials that can be found throughout your home. For materials that you don't have, ask family or friends or purchase at a discounted store.

Some ideas for homemade gifts include: making cards for all occasions, putting items in a basket (see http://www.allizon.com to purchase baskets or items for baskets), making coupons, writing letters, painting pictures, and planting flowers.

Ideas are endless. As long at the gift comes from the heart, it is worth the effort of making and giving!
