Annual Ornament
Car boot sales?
Ive done 2 in the past to weeks and made £170
considering all im selling is freebies my late grandad got from bingo and old footballs and free cds from papers and old annuals Ive had since I was a kid - football and comic ones and cheap porcelain and old ornaments from home (other stufff as well but thats been the main in the last two weeks)
is this a good return or average? first week was £100 last week was only £70
I think that's a brilliant amount of money, you should carry it on for a few more weeks as you obviously have the nack for selling.
Annual Ornament
What are good cheap winter gifts to make for a large amount of people?
My organization hosts an annual Christmas party, and as a holiday gift, we give them a small token of appreciation. We have volunteers come in to make 100-200 of these small gifts, but we have little budget. Last year we made cocoa cones with hot cocoa powder, marshmallows, and crushed candy canes. The year before that we made a small ornament or decoration snowflake out of wires and beads. Do you have any ideas for small cheap homemade gifts for this year?
Hey, that sounds like fun! Can I help? lol
One year I made shortbread cut into xmas shapes and rumballs and wrapped them up pretty and another year I made little ornaments out of Polymer Clay. Polymer Clay is fairly cheap but sold in blocks of colour or you could use white and paint them. There are heaps of tutorials on the net. But that may be a little involved. Maybe Glass ornaments decorated with glass paint, glue and glitter?
I think the cookie idea is great too.
You could find your favourite christmas recipe and use only the dry ingredients, place them in a glass jar (they look nice if you use a funnel and layer the different ingredients) print a label of the recipe and place it on the jar and decorate the lid. You could also add one cookie cutter per jar. They will have to add the wet ingredients, ie milk, egg etc... that way the food will not go off. It's cheap, you don't have to bake and worry about mess and ovens etc and they can make it themselves!
The only problem is the glass jars...maybe you could collect them throughout the year.
Maybe a small plant.. you could buy them ready made or buy the pot plants, add the soil and plant a seed. Then add care instructions. You could also do a mystery seed with care instructions but they won't know what it is until it grows.
If all else fails there is a great site that has heaps of handmade xmas ideas:

Hope this helps and have a great party and holiday
