HOW?
- Year-round gift sets - the lotions, soaps, and shower gels that all come in those gift sets can be given as gifts year round! Right now, they're probably marked down anywhere from 50%-75% because stores are trying to get ride of them to make room for new seasonal things for Valentines' Day. Therefore, take advantage of it. NOTE: There are many with Christmas themes with green or red bows and all that pretty Christmas stuff. Avoid those... OR you can get crafty and just replace those ribbons and bows with some other colors. People do need to bathe year round! ;)
- Christmas cards - marked down at least 50% right now and if you are a usual card giver, stock up on them now and keep them in a safe place for next year. Holiday greetings and wishes are still going to be the same... and Santa won't lose five pounds... I promise!
- Wrapping paper - I know that my family goes through at least ten rolls of wrapping paper each year, and at four bucks a pop... it can rack up a hefty $40 before tax (which is rising, by the way). Stock up on them at less than two bucks each and you'll save twenty bucks by next Christmas! Hey... every dollar counts!
- Kids' gift sets - You know those little girls' makeup kits? Nothing extravagant, but a few little lipgloss pots shaped in stars and hearts. Before Christmas, each set can easily run up to $20. I found some on Clearance the other day at Target for only $5! They can be given to little girls throughout the year on their birthdays or as a reward for something they've done. Make her feel like a Princess that she really is!
Happy After Christmas Shopping!
