Frugal Friday--Frugal Gift to Cheer Someone



The ladies from the PIE group at my Mom's school made these bottle gifts for the teachers and had them waiting on their desks on the first day of school. How simple, yet creative and touching! You can easily make them by taking a long, thin strip of cardstock and folding the bottom up and using scrapbooking brads or staples or glue to affix it to make a pocket. Cut a hole in the top, decorate with stickers or stamps and an encouraging message and slip a little drink mix packet like Crystal Light into the pocket. This would be a fun way to brighten your hubby's day or to surprise a friend who needs some encouragement. This is a way to bless someone who is on a diet or who can't have candy/sweets.
