Thrifty Holiday Help

I’ve got a few nice links for you today; holiday and thrifty related.

At Tree Hugging Family, I posted DIY Homemade Natural & Eco Chic Soap which is an excellent holiday gift project, one you can even do with the kiddos. It’s soap that you can easily make with lots of recycled products – but it looks totally professional. See:

All Holiday Cafe has the most adorable (and easy) holiday gift idea – Quick Christmas Gift – Tea Cup Pincushion – if you know a sewer, this is a great present you can make on the cheap.

Eco-holiday gifts are usually expensive, but not if you know where to look. Inhabitots has two posts that can help you out; Why Buy? RentAtoy for Christmas and Seven Eco-Friendly Stocking Stuffers! that won’t break the bank. Adorable items like the earth friendly Wooden Mushroom Kaleidoscope:

Also in green holiday thrift, there’s: Save Money with Great Discount Codes for Green Gifts

Declutter It has some excellent DIY Holiday Wrap Station Ideas. Most are inexpensive plans that go together fast.

If all you have is inexpensive dental floss and stickers you can still make extra cute holiday decorations – I kid you not.

Lastly, have you visited She Knows Coupons yet? Lots of cool deals for the holidays and beyond.
