Creating a personal gift - on a shoestring




Christmas doesn't have to be about spending heaps on luxurious gifts (hey I said doesn't have to be, it still can!) But if you want to give a gift that's personal and meaningful, there's plenty you can do. Here are 5 ideas for creating a personal gift on a shoestring.

  • Screen print a personalised message on a tee (or apron, or bag... whatever else you think suits them.) Basic equipment for doing this isn't too expensive and can be used over and over again.
  • Customise an article of clothing to suit their style. For example - grab a plain tee and add some detail such as vintage military buttons, badges or brooches, or ribbon or lace for a girl.

Plain tees and canvas bags available from Amazon.com

Customise this: Recycled Cotton Canvas Tote Bags $8.99 each; American Apparel Unisex Tees $9.95 each; and American Apparel T-shirt Dresses $8.99 each, from Amazon.
