How to Make Every Treasure (Even Tasteless Ones) Work for You!

without comments

Wouldn’t be nice if there was an easy to give (and receive) gift?  Well, there is a better way my friend  The answer is Gift Baskets.

 

In this day and age we’re lucky if we get a fruit cake, don’t count on getting gift baskets.  I will give you some ideas of what to do with those unwanted gifts.

 

Anyone has been given a present that is not the most desired gift.  You can donate it to a worthy cause, or post it on www.freecycle.com where everything donated is free to users.  You may bury the unwanted gift in a box where you will hopefully never run into it again.  Whatever you do please do not throw the gift away.

 

We all know about re-gifting, a risky and often unsavory practice.  Regifting is usually never a acceptable custom.  Especially if the person that gave you the gift finds out.  There are a number of ways to make use of your gift, without the uncomfortable and deliberate re-wrapping and passing along.

 

1.  Create a “Treasure Box.”  I use a large tote.  Be sure to mark the item with whom it is from.

 

2. Place gifts that are of no use to you in the treasure chest.

 

3. Over time, group similar items together i.e. games, movies, an outfit, etc.

 

4. Try to give multiples of a like item.  For example favorite films.  Take the movies, wrap them individually, and put them in a large popcorn bowl. Include candies, chocolate, or whatever else you want to make the gift go further.  If you are giving the movies to an adult or family, put in a homemade gift certificate for one night of free babysitting (if they have kids).  The trick is to only purchase small items that add up to a big gift.  Make sure that you are not giving the gift back to the person you originally received it from.

 

Now those not so zesty or redundantgifts you have accumulated don’t need to go to waste.

 

We all want to make our gift giving a little easier, so might I suggest you head on over to Nectar of Life’s Coffee Gift Baskets page and have a look around?  So head on over to Nectar of Life Organic Coffee Company, they’ve got a great selection of coffee gift baskets and other gifts.
