I make notes of gift ideas for my family and friends throughout the year.

Learn to hem and patch and sew on buttons to repair minor issues with clothing. Donate good clothing you really can’t use to a non-profit and bank the tax deduction. Use the life out of all your appliances, but save up enough money to replace them quickly if they are nearing the end of their lifespan.

When you can reuse or re-purpose an item, you are not only saving it from the landfills, but you are also saving the expense and energy which would have been expended when you recycle. Before throwing away old clothing, I snip the buttons off and remove working zippers (unless I’m donating the item). Zip lock freezer bags.
