We will offer you a few interesting tips that you might not even know about, and that can make Christmas a favorite time full of comfort. Some are original, and with others you can save a lot of money and time.
Use old flyers or ketchup bottles
If you don’t know what to wrap your Christmas gifts in, and you’re tired of wrapping paper, you can easily get glossy paper. If your wrapping papers are constantly tangled up, a toilet paper roll and aluminum foil can help. Cut the roll in half and cover it with foil. Place it on the roll of paper and you won’t have to worry about it anymore.
If you’ve bought postcards or stationery and want to delight your friends with a Christmas greeting but no longer have envelopes, try using old newspaper flyers. Right before Christmas there will be plenty of them everywhere and you’ll be original. Ketchup bottles will also come in handy at Christmas. You can use them as bottles for homemade Baileys; you can gift your relatives the liqueur. Just write a personal note on the bottle.
If you’re planning to buy an artificial Christmas tree this year instead of a pine as usual, you can still easily bring the scent of that tree into your home. Buy an essential oil of pine and put a few drops into an aroma lamp or on the ventilation unit. That will ensure a constant pine scent for you.
You no longer have to buy expensive tree decorations
At home you can make Christmas decorations together with the children. Air-dry modeling clay can help you, for which you only need corn starch, baking soda and water. Don’t forget to make a hole in the cut-out decorations so you have a way to hang them on the tree. You can also use food coloring to liven up your creations.
You can make a Christmas card using pieces of tape and older wrapping paper. You can easily make paper shavings using a potato peeler.
Make this year’s Christmas full of peace and comfort; don’t rush around for gifts or perfect decorations. Instead, devote yourself to your families, shared activities and other pleasant pursuits that will allow you to fully enjoy the Christmas holidays.
