Good for one free back/neck/foot massage.
Good for detailing your car (wash, wax, shampoo carpets and seats)
Good for vacuuming the whole houseGood for cleaning the garage, attic and/or basement (whichever you have)
Good for babysitting so you can have a peaceful bubble bath
Good for making dinner every nite for a week, doing dishes and clean-up
Good for cleaning out the fireplace and chimney
Take down curtains and drapes, clean them and re-hang.
Clean upholstered furniture.
Wash windows
Shampoo carpets
Decorate the tree
Remove tree, decorations and store it all in garage

making gifts for christmas?
psycholuv3
im running low on money this christmas so i was wondering what kind of things can i make, or what are some cheap gift items?
Answer
It's perfectly FINE to give a handmade Christmas gift!
Some things you can make (pretty inexpensively):
Scented candles
Hand-decorated Christmas ornaments
Baked goods (cookies, nut-bread, chocolate-peppermint rolls, etc.) that you can prepare ahead of time in quantity, and wrap and give individually
Small themed gift-baskets (for example, sample sizes of flavored coffee or tea, along with a nice mug, in a basket with some shredded-paper filler ... you can buy all these items at dollar stores or discount stores)
Other gift baskets, depending on the recipients likes/interests, could include a crossword-puzzle magazine and a few new pencils, or a few small kitchen gadgets/utensils and a package of recipe cards, some craft- or art-supplies.
Fruit baskets are easy (and cheap!) to put together yourself. Buy a bag of apples, a bag of oranges, any other fruit that's inexpensive ... some baskets (thrift-stores such as Goodwill often sell baskets for 25 or 50 cents!) and make your own!
Other ideas:
Cheap picture frames (again, dollar store) that you embellish/personalize ... you can use paint, glitter, buttons, decoupage ... the possibilities are endless.
Small photo albums ... include a few pictures of yourself and the friend to whom you're giving the album, leaving the rest of the pages blank ... again, you can embellish the album as mentioned above.
If you like to embroider or do cross-stitch, you can buy plain kitchen towels, potholders, etc., and personalize them that way.
If you knit, crochet, or sew ... scarves, hats, or household items are easy to make/personalize.
Just use your imagination. And don't feel like it's cheap to give a handmade gift, it isn't ... personally, I LOVE receiving a gift that someone put him/herself into!
