|  I absolutely HATE buying for cowroker, bosses, babysitter or people that fall into that category! Does anybody have any dirt cheap ideas for coworkers?
Here's a few of my ideas but please share your too!Want to make a killer Christmas present this year for .99-cents?! I’ll tell exactly how and I promise your recipient will LOVE it!
This is a great gift for coworkers, bosses, baby sitters or people who you don’t have a real budget for. Or, if you are just having hard financial times this year, then spruce it up and give it to your loved ones.
For this super simple and dirt-cheap gift you will want to have a budget of $1. If you have a few extra bucks, that’s great too.
You will be using your dollar to create a really nice gift basket/coffee mug for your recipient.
Supplies: Coffee Mug, small basket or nice container. Go to your local dollar store and pick something out! Remember, the bigger the mug, the more stuff you have to get to fill it with!Optional: Ribbon, tissue paper, gift tag. (You may have some of these items already)
Now that you have your container/basket/mug you will want to begin to gather FREE items to fill it with! Now you’re probably wondering, “Where can I get free items that someone would actually want?”…Simple! The internet!Companies give away totally free samples of products every day. And I mean REAL, name brand products that you don’t have to be embarrassed about giving! Why do companies give out products? Because they hope that if you try it, you’ll buy it! The companies have no problem sending trial size or full size products right to your doorstep free of charge – no memberships, no shipping costs, etc. So please take advantage of this opportunity!Now that you know where to get free products, you need to come up with some kind of game plan as to what your general “theme” is going to be. Here’s some ideas:A Coffee Lovers Basket filled with coffee samples from all around the world.
A Beauty Basket packed full of beauty samples – lipsticks, eye shadows, perfumes, lotions…
A Food Basket topped off with different food samples like hot sauce, seasonings, marinades, recipes and more!A Pet Basket filled to the brim with pet samples!Got a Health Nut? Then why not make a health related basket with samples of different vitamins, energy bars and more!The possibilities are endless, it’s all up to your imagination!
