It’s December 11th as I’m writing this page and Christmas is getting closer and closer… I don’t know about you - perhaps you don’t even celebrate Christmas - but if you do, you will be all too familiar with the yearly stress of getting everything organized.
Over here in the Netherlands we already had our first outpooring of gifts when we celebrated the national feast of Saint Nicholas on December 5ht. Traditionally this is the day that all families exchange their holiday presents. In the ‘good old days’ my mom and dad still fondly recall, the focus was mainly on the practical. Gloves, sweaters, boots were favorite gifts. Or new pens and pencils, notebooks and diaries.
These days commerce has completely taken over and the presents are more and more characterized by being useless gadgets that break within 24 hours and are only 5 minutes fun to toy with. The main problem being: if we already have everything our heart desires, then how on earth can we still find something of value to please our loved ones with?!
Others are struggling with tight budgets and even if their family members don’t have it all already, the next problem is how to afford the shopping frenzy all the neighbors are endulging in…
Coming from a wildly creative family, I have seen a great many solutions to both these problems which proves to show that NOT spending your last nickles on Christmas presents is both rewarding for your wallet and for your heart. And I like to share some of these ideas with you.

A good number of these gift ideas require personal time, energy and effort going into them. Because I can also completely empathise with everyone who’s totally pressed for time, I’ve also included some ideas of what you could actually buy. You won’t find my favorite perfumes and watches on this page. Just stuff for the happy heart…
