Re: Budget101.com : Budget101 Holiday Gift Idea Challenge
It seems like no matter what I gave my mother for Christmas she never liked it. So one year I got so fed up I bought her a cheap pretty 99 cent bowl and wrapped it in an expensive looking box and she loved it. It looked like I paid tons of money for it, because I wrapped the gift in white tissue paper before putting it into the box, then wrapped the box in gold foil paper and bought one of those pretty big decorative bows to put on top.
The whole gift cost me about $5.00.
Since that worked out so well, the next year I bought cheap pretty Christmas tree balls, wrapped each ball in tissue paper and put them into a decorative tin and she thought those where great too. So I found it doesn’t matter how much you spend on a gift, just make the wrapping look expensive.
