The big day may be over but this is still a good time to make a donation to those less fortunate than yourself.
If you donate them to a non-profit charity like Goodwill or the Salvation Army, it’s also a good idea to get a receipt, because you can deduct the value of the donation when you do your taxes. Take some time to:
* Go through your closets, and drawers to look for clothes you no longer wear.
* Get your kids involved and find toys they’re no longer interested in.
* Clean out your basement, garage, and storage areas.
While you are going through this process, you may even find some valuable items you are no longer using that you could sell on EBay or through your community newspaper, like the Penny Saver or Thrifty Nickel, to make some extra money!
Not so great at picking out gifts? Just didn’t have extra money to spend on buying gifts? Maybe you’re not very talented and making a gift was out of the question? Don’t fret! You can still give something wonderful, your time.
Offer to do a specific chore for someone, or better yet, make them a coupon or certificate you can present to them in place of a store-bought gift. Some ideas could be:
* Make a home-cooked meal
* Do a week’s worth of laundry
* Clean their house
* Wash their car
* Do an afternoon of yard work
* Baby-sit their kids
You can tailor the offer to the gift recipients needs and if you know them well, you should have a pretty good idea of what offer would be most appreciated. Have fun with it!
