I don’t know about you, but since having kids I have become overwhelmed with STUFF; there are things everywhere. And it gets worse at Christmas doesn’t it?

How can we be generous this Christmas without spending the earth? How can we be creative with our gifts, whilst saying NO TO STUFF! Here’s a list of a few ideas we have to simplify your Christmas giving:

• Oxfam Gifts – for many years Oxfam has provided the opportunity to buy gifts of varying price that gives aid such a clean water or working animals to those in need
• IOU gift certificates – what skills could you use to help? Cook a meal?
• Make gifts – food, decorations? One of our favourite things to do is make food hampers filled with homemade goodies!

One small thoughtful gift is so much better than LOTS of gifts for the sake of it. What creative ideas do you have?
