This holiday season we're all coming up with creative gift ideas that won't break the piggy bank. Step #10 in the Urban Heiress Plan for "urban addict" recovery is the simply D.I.Y.D. bka "Do It Your D*mn Self." The premise of this concept is to use your talents & resources instead of paying for overpriced goods/services. We often forget or overlook the many gifts we can give people that won't cost you much (if at all), but will be cherished for a lifetime. Here are a few ideas just in time for the holidays:
**Babysitting services - Who wouldn't want an offer for you to watch their rugrats FREE of charge? Priceless gift that won't cost you anything except your time.
**Cleaning services - Once again, who wouldn't want an offer for you to tidy up their home/office, mow their lawn or even wash their car? That's better than anything you can buy at Macy's.
**Make a CD mix/Write a song - Give your loved one the gift of music by creating a CD with your very own special mix of songs that you dedicate to him/her. Or go a step further & write/record a musical selection for them. Best Buy won't have this in stock!
**Cooking/baking - Gift your loved ones a home-cooked or bake them their fave dessert, confection, bread, etc. Their tummies will love you for life.
**Arts & Crafts - Use your talents to create a masterpiece for your loved one. Whether you knit, sew, painting, sculpt or some other skill, you can make a one-of-kind gift that your loved one will cherish for years to come.
