Gift Idea that Costs $1.00 (But Means the World!)
When you have a pocket full of dough, to spend at the mall... picking out special gifts for each & every person in your family. You feel good. It makes you feel giddy, just waiting to reveal their gift on Christmas...
But not everyone has that luxury.
I've spent many a Christmases, broke as a joke. Barely getting by, even on the good days. Its an "unwritten rule", that when your family buys for you, you are obligated to return the favor. Sure, they would probably understand if you just told them the flat out truth...That you just simply do not have any money, to buy gifts this year. But you feel that obligation in your heart, to give something back.
What if I told you, that you could give your loved ones a gift that only costs $1.00, but would mean the world to them??
The hard times forced me to be creative, & think outside the box. I was always searching for more bang for no buck.
Supplies:
Photo Frame ($1.00 @ Dollar Tree)
Plain White Paper
Black Sharpie (Or calligraphy pen, if you have access!)
Directions:
➡️Pick out a special quote or saying, that will resonate with who the gift is for. (This could be lyrics from a song special to your relationship, a meaningful quote that describes how you feel about them, etc.)
➡️Write the words out in cursive/calligraphy style writing.
Keep in mind, you do not have to have fancy, perfect handwriting to accomplish this.

Additional Tips+Tricks:
•Tie a bow with ribbon, & glue to the frame.
•Get alphabet letter stickers to personalize your frame.
So for $1.00, you can give a gift that will be so appreciated, & hung on the wall for years to come! The giftee not only appreciates the personal touch, but how thoughtful & meaningful the quote you choose is.
