Use those as well. Shop garage sales and thrift stores and estate sales. Christmas decorations, wrap, bows and ribbon all are continuous offerings at pretty much every garage sale, thrift store or estate sale I’ve ever shopped. If you have old maps you no longer need, use them. Use old, unwanted material.

Sometimes, as we shop we see things we would like to own and decide to treat ourselves with a gift or two as well. So, hey, I guess I can take the tax reduction next year as well as this! However, I wait until spring and summer to buy decorations – and get them at garage sales. I know I do. In fact, I did today! Winter clothes.

Just bare twigs in a large vase, with old ornaments tied to them can be pretty as well. We live on the edge of the prairie and prairie grasses grow well here. Plan ahead and hit garage sales, but especially estate sales. Thrift stores are also a great place to shop. Christmas in July. These make nice gifts too.
