Inside: DIY Gifts Teens Can Make – Gift Giving on a Budget They Can Afford
It was December of my Senior year of high school and I was thrilled to have been hired for my first real job. I’d be working in our local public library and for a bookworm like me, this was a dream come true!
A steady paycheck held much allure to me and I had already spent most of it dreaming up amazing Holiday gifts for friends and family before I’d even clocked in on day one! Then reality hit….that first check wasn’t headed my way until well after the first of the new year and after the necessary deductions, wouldn’t be nearly the amount I had imagined.
So, I got busy putting my creativity to work and came up with a few handmade ideas. It satisfied my giving impulses and definitely kept me busy throughout December.
