Inexpensive Holiday Gift Ideas
Everyone is feeling some type of "pinch" in their wallets this holiday season. More and more people are paying close attention to the good bargains, and are looking for ways to save money, yet still give great gifts.
There are some wonderful gifts you can give this holiday season that will make your friends and family think you have spent a lot of money and time. Vinyl lettering from Affordable Vinyl Graphics, www.mywalldecals.com, can be custom ordered for very little money. You can personalize it to say whatever message you prefer. Here are some ideas on gifts that you can give this year that are really inexpensive and easy for anyone to do.
Monogrammed Christmas ornaments are gifts that literally keep giving every year. This is something everyone needs to decorate their tree and to have one that has been personalized will make it even more special. To make this ornament you will need clear, glass craft ornaments that can be purchased at hobby stores. You can usually find these for relatively cheap. Now you will put the recipient’s first letter of their last name on the bulbs in 1” in etched glass vinyl. Add a velvet ribbon and you are finished. These make great personalized teacher and hostess gifts.
Personalized picture frames are something everyone needs. The picture frames are easy to find at your local hobby store. Wait until they go on sale and buy several. You will need a 5x7 frame that has a wide, flat frame. Next you will need to apply the lettering onto the frame. Choose from stock sayings or come up with your own phrases or just the person’s name. For instance, put a picture of your kids in a frame and apply “We Love Grandma!” for a heart warming gift for Grandma.
Decorative mirrors are great for people to decorate a room. These don’t need to be full mirrors, just a small beveled mirror about 12” x 12”. Purchase your mirrors and personalize using monograms, sayings, or even full names. Try doing this in a very elegant font in two or three colors. Provide a small stand for the mirror and you have a completed gift.
Ceramic tiles can make a great gift with a little more work. Find your 8” x 8” tiles in any color and drill two holes in each corner about 1” from edge. Run ribbon or string through the holes and tie a large knot. This is your hanger. Apply your lettering, try a cute phrase for this one such as “Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much”. Now you have a decorative hanger that can be hung anywhere in a home or office
Vases or flower pots can be used over and over throughout the year. You can also choose to make them festive for use during the holiday season. Find a red or green vase and wrap it with the vinyl lettering saying “Merry Christmas” or “Peace on Earth”. For a pot that can be used year round add vinyl that states the family name with the family members names in smaller lettering. The possibilities are endless with this idea.
There are so many holiday gift ideas using vinyl lettering that you will be able to give everyone on your list something personal. Vinyl lettering is so easy to install, you will have all of your gifts done in less time than it takes to go to the mall. Your friends and family will think you spent hours creating these or lots of money buying them premade.
