On the eve of the New Year, one of the main articles of festive waste is buying New Year's gifts for children, loved ones, relatives, colleagues. It is important here not to forget anyone and to invest in the planned budget. In order for the New Year holidays not to turn into a feast for your bankruptcy, and so that your loved ones do not feel like distant relatives, you need to remember the rules of creative economy.
It is necessary
A sheet of paper, pencil, cardboard, sequins, ribbons, braid, beads, rhinestones, fir branches, colored pencils, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden costume
Instructions
Step 1
Plan your purchases ahead of time. Divide a sheet of paper into two halves: on the left, write the name (surname, nickname) of a loved one, and on the right, indicate several options for gifts for him. Then, choose the most needed and the most enjoyable one. When shopping for gifts, never deviate from the directions on your list. This will save your wallet from unnecessary waste and please everyone close to you.
Step 2
Decide who will get the New Year's gift from you. Buy New Year gifts only for really close and dear people. Friends are more likely to be embarrassed by your gift: they probably haven't prepared anything for you. SMS-greetings on New Year's Eve are a great gift for comrades and good acquaintances: they will both delight and not ruin.
Step 3
Buy gifts long before the "New Year's sales". Gifts bought in advance will not only save you money, but also relieve you of the stress of New Year's when time is short and there is still a lot to buy.
Step 4
Make holiday cards yourself. With the help of cardboard, ribbons, braid, beads, rhinestones, spruce branches and other improvised materials, you can make unique postcards for the New Year. To make your card give delight and admiration, make it for a specific person. For example, if your friend is fond of car repairing, glue a nut to a postcard, the culinary specialist will smile when he sees a few pasta on the postcard, etc.
Step 5
Save money on Santa Claus and Snow Maiden. In order not to spend money on professional actors on your New Year's holiday, turn into fairy-tale characters yourself for a while. Children are unlikely to recognize their beloved dad in a grandfather with a red nose, and colleagues will laugh at the head of the sales department in the role of the Snow Maiden.
