For reducing holiday expendi
tures, now is the time to begin
do-it-yourself gift projects. With
such gifts, the family invests more
if its time, talents and imagination
and less of its money than when
purchasing gifts from the market
place. Do-it-yourself gift projects
can benefit both the recipient and
the giver. The recipient could
receive more unique and appropri
ate gifts or much needed or
cherished gifts that are not readily
available otherwise. On the other
hand, the family (givers) could
benefit from:
?increased fun, fellowship and
pride of achievement from working
together on gift projects
?better management of resources
by substituting time and talent for
money
?more money available for other
needs and wants
?greater joy in sharing (you give
but little when you give of your
possessions. It is when you give of
yourself that you truly give. -Kahlil
Gibran. The Prophet)
For successful do-it-yourself gift
projects, a definite plan of action
and an early start in production are
essential. Your plan of action
should include:
( 1 ) A family discussion - to
identify gift recipients (family,
friends, neighbors) ' and various
types of gifts appropriate for each.
(2) An inventory of the: (a) time
and talents of each family member
that are available for gift produc
tion (such as preparation of special
foods, handicraft skills, errand
running ability, and entertainment
skills) and (b) items on hand that
can be used for gifts (such as
conserved foods, fabrics, household
gadgets, greenery, nuts or berries)
(3) A "Do-it-Yourself Gift Ca
lendar" which is a schedule of what
gifts will be made, when and what
each family member will contribute
to each gift.
Suggestions for Do-It-Youraelf
Gifts
(1) Consider gifts that can be
enjoyed and used up during the
holiday season (ex. decorations,
holiday foods, etc.). Give these gifts
or a certificate, announcing when
they will arrive, early enough for
the recipient to plan for their use.
(2) Consider giving gifts for
services (repairs, errands, etc.) that
are difficult for the recipient to
obtain. For these, design an attrac
tive "I-Promise" or "I-O-U" certi
ficate and present as a gift. Service
gifts might include: transportation;
serving as a sitter for children,
