Day 1 -6 Days of Giftspiration: Unique and Thrifty Gift Ideas
Welcome to Day 1 of 6 Days of Giftspiration: Unique and Thrifty Gift Ideas.
In a world where sustainability and creativity go hand in hand, these gifts are not only eco-friendly but also brimming with charm and nostalgia. Whether you’re looking for inspiration to craft your own gifts or simply love the idea of giving something with a bit of history, this series is for you.
We are starting off with what I call “The Honey Sleigh”
This gift is great for the person or persons you know who enjoys honey, tea or a hot drink to which honey would enhance the drink. Let’s take a closer look at what is in this sleigh.
This gift was fairly inexpensive to pull together – let’s break it down:
- White Tin Sleigh- yard sale $3.00
- Honey Bear with Honey Stick – thrifted $4.50
- Honey Tea Towel – thrifted (new not used) $1.00
- Spoon – thrifted (new not used) $.050
- Tea Bags – free from my cupboard
- Honey – purchased $6.99
- Tree Ornament – thrifted $0.50
Total cost of this gift = $16.50
You could substitute honey sticks for the jar of honey to keep costs down.
How to structure your gift basket or in this case a tin sleigh?
Kitchen linens can be expensive to buy new. I always have these on my BOLO (Be On The Look Out) list when I am thrifting and if I see them new with the original tag still attached, I usually snap them up.
I chose not to add any wrapping material to this gift sleigh as I plan on keeping most of the items, however, I am planning on gifting the sleigh with some special treats.
I would love it if you would join me on this festive journey as I explore the magic of thrifted, vintage and thoughtfully curated gift ideas. Not only will these gifts delight your loved ones, but they’ll also inspire you to look at gifting in a whole new way.
Let’s make this holiday season memorable with gifts that have a story to tell and a touch of thrifted elegance.
I hope you come back tomorrow to celebrate the spirit of giving with creativity and sustainability!
