- Hot glue and glue gun
- Snowflake ornaments (You can get these at the dollar store)
- Ribbon ($3 – $4 in any craft store)

Finally, consider unwanted gifts or household items that you have as potential new gifts for friends and family. Perhaps you bought a coat rack for a previous home or apartment. And now, this piece doesn’t match the style of your new place. Maybe you received a book you already have or something else you just don’t need. Keep quality items around to use during the holiday season. This is a great way to eliminate clutter and spend $0 on some of your gifts!
