Frugal Friday: Inexpensive and Personal “Thank You”

Friday, June 5th, 2009 | Frugal Friday, Gift Giving Philosophy, Gift Idea

In this day and age we often e-mail invitations and thank you’s. A very inexpensive yet very personal way to thank somebody doesn’t even have to cost a lot, nor needs any special wrapping – sending a thank you card, bought or even made, is just as viable as giving a thank you gift.

Black and Cream “Thank You” Cards
There are so many styles to choose from. You can get thank you notes that say “Thank You” on the front or inside, you can use a blank card or even a homemade card. You can get cards that reflect the reason why you are thanking them – animals for baby shower thanks or hearts for wedding thanks, etc. It doesn’t matter what you choose as long as you think they are attractive.

Second of all, we are working out the bugs and there will be plenty of new posts.

Toy Tuesday: Fisher-Price Easy Link Internet Launch Pad

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 | Gift Idea, Toy Tuesday

Alright, this is a great item for both the child (appropriate for ages 3-6) on your gift list as well as their parents!

This toy got great reviews, and it is no wonder why. A toy that lets a child play on the computer that also prevents them from accessing anything that you don’t want them to (or anyone accessing them) and without being able to change any computer settings or accidentally deleting a file? Genius! Protects the child and the computer. The child can only access the websites for the “keys” (a key is the character that he inserts into a slot in order to access that character’s website) he has.

This is a toy that probably won’t collect too much dust because each site has different levels of difficulty so that as the child grows it will remain interesting. For a gift under …read more
