Re-Gifting ... the new chic

Fashion designers are creating a buzz on ramps across the globe with their environmentally friendly collections urging us to think recycle and green!

This holiday season, its trendy to apply this line of thought to gift giving as well!

It is now “chic” to be frugal and “re-gift,!”
 

Unleash your creativity at home by making wonderful crafts or baked goods, turning them into adorable goodies worth gifting. From handcrafted hair bows, to handmade jewelry, soaps, handmade candles, the possibilities are endless.

Chances are you may not even have to purchase these items from the store. About eighty percent of these items may be “hiding in plain site” in your home.
