Make your own Xmas tree decorations with the kids; these can be given out as presents and keepsakes. Give Homemade Vouchers out to Family & Friends ie: Vouchers for Coffee & catch up, Dinner together

at your house, Monthly DVD/PJ nights, Hug Vouchers, voucher for one hour of your time, vouchers for

the kidsget out of washing/drying dishes for one night free etc. Think of something that is special to

the child or recipient and turn it into gift voucher.

Sometimes its our time that is the most valuable and means the most to someone!

How about a themed Christmas , join with a friend and their children, or a close neighbor, spilt the cost ofthe food and keep it really simple try a Hawaiian theme kids make their own kebabs cooked on the

BBQ, dress in op shop Hawaiian shirts, sarongs and flip flops, have an afternoon full of games!

Try a $5 Christmas all gifts given are $5 and under. Buy one special gift for yourself and the kids like a 1000 piece puzzle, or a swing ball set, or a

volleyball/badminton set something you can all do together that you will get a lot of use out of.

Bake: find a cheap, easy to make Christmas cake and divide the mixture into miniature loaf tin sizes, thiswill give you more out of one, ice and personalize as individual gifts.

Get creative: buy a plain pillow case and some cheap textile paint to personalize for each child. Make a Christmas tree Stencil, buy a tin of spray paint and use it to stencil old Newspaper, when dry use

as wrapping paper.

Give each child a box with the things to make their own kite 1.black rubbish bags (or you can purchasecheap clear plastic from Placemakers or Bunnings, if you get clear plastic, this can be painted). 2 . Thin

bendable bits of doweling or cheap bamboo stakes from the Warehouse, (Placemakers or

Bunnings).3.Scissors.4.strong clear tape.5.extra old plastic shopping bags for the kites tail.
