Well Pamela, it loos as if you are going to sweep the competition. I was hoping for more Christmas savings ideas from everyone. If you don't need a costume then still leave your ideas with us so others can use them this Christmas. Only one person? Well Pamela, it loos as if you are going to sweep the competition.

Wrapping paper and ribbons can be very expensive, just to end up throwing them away every year. Several years ago, I bought inexpensive fabric with Christmas themes or colors. I also bought the spools of satin and flocked ribbon of various widths that are used in decorating - usually bows for doors or wreaths. I used the fabric to wrap the packages - no tape needed - and tied with the ribbons. I also sewed some very quick sacks from the fabric to accommodate unusually shaped items and tied them at the top with the ribbon. Everything is reusable and it adds a very nice touch to the holiday. If a person sews or quilts, she probably already has a fabric stash and might find fabrics suitable for this purpose. Fabric can also often be found very inexpensively at yard sales, rummage sales and thrift stores (or even gotten off freecycle).
