Each Wednesday we post a linky for bloggers to list their giveaways. Find over 100 giveaways to enter here (you’ll probably have to scroll down a little to the post called “Giveaways in Blog Land”)
Frugal Gift Ideas
- Earn amazon gift cards and more with Swagbucks.
- Give an “I Owe You.”
- Photos make excellent gifts. See the current photo deals HERE.
- If you do surveys that pay in gift cards, why not use those to purchase gifts or give as gifts? If they are small in value, they’d be perfect in a little gift basket. You can get pretty creative and keep out of pocket money to a minimum. Try putting a $5 or $10 Blockbuster card with some popcorn and candy (that you got free with coupons of course) into a basket from the dollar store. (see survey sites here)
- Free downloadable recipe cards, gift tags and more
- Make your own gift bows out of recycled materials with this tutorial
- Free holiday gift tags for kids to color
