Try some of these gift ideas and have a great Christmas.

1.Make your own gourmet oils by infusing normal cooking oil with lemon, chili, wasabi or orange oil. These are great for cooking or a special dressing and are so easy to make and taste wonderful.

2.Take the family to do volunteer work on Christmas Day. It will be an eye opener for them and be a great present that many can share. Help serve Christmas dinner for those who gather together because they have no family to share with, or are homeless.

3.Get the family involved in baking for tradition. Make a tradition of getting together and making Christmas cookies or gingerbread house or edible ornaments for the tree. Take this tradition into other areas such as Fathers Day or Mothers Day.

4.Make a gift booklet My daughter gave me a wonderful little booklet for one Mothers Day. It was filled with things like " This certificate entitles Mum to have one breakfast in bed, This certificate entitles Mum to have me vacuum the lounge room, This certificate entitles Mum to have me wash the dishes for two nights". It was so personal and hand made with wonderful decorations that I felt it was one of the best presents I ever had. Encourage your kids to see the value in this type of gift and use it for all sorts of events.

5.Homemade cards are always more meaningful than store bought cards.

6.Shop all year round. Keep an eye open all year for Birthday and Christmas presents and buy them when they are on sale. The trick to this one though is not to forget where you put the gifts when it is time to give them.

7.Send Ecards. We're all on the internet so why not send FREE Ecards instead of paper ones. Save paper and postage.

8.Old calendars make great framed prints. Get your cheap frames from places such as Target and choose one of the images from last years calendar.

9.Original art works are easy to do when you pick up a prepared canvas from the two dollar shop and free style colours that compliment the wall colours of friends and family. Doing two or three smaller ones all butted together and designed as one image then hung a few centimeters apart is very effective.

10.Try finding a really funny Birthday Card and make it an ongoing joke that goes back and forward each year with a different message. It will be something that you really look forward to receiving.
