Recyle
Billee Sharp, the writer of ‘Fix It, Make It, Grow It, Bake It’ says:
‘I have a Christmas closet where I put gifts I cannot use, and gift bags, paper, etc., to reuse and give out for the holidays.’
Make sure you check the back of the closet before you get out your wallets – you might find something to give away or a gift box you can reuse.
21. Use your skills
Instead of buying meaningless nic nacs for your loved ones, why not use this a chance to show off your impressive skills.

Fanoosh Torabi, a personal finance expert says:
‘Wrap your skills in a thoughtful way as an alternative to buying your friends another gift card.’
She suggests that if you’re a designer, redecorate a friend’s room. If you’re a photographer, offer a professional photo shoot! It saves you the big bucks and offers a more meaningful, well-thought out gift.
