• Send out holiday postcards (20 cent stamps), instead of cards (32 cent stamps). 
• Instead of buying a gift, give a friend or family members a gift certificate for a free service, such as babysitting, pet sitting, or lawn care. 
• When ordering gifts from a catalog, have those gifts shipped directly to the recipient and save the cost of having to ship it yourself a second time. 
• Buy gifts such as magazine subscriptions, which offer discounts when you buy more than one subscription. 
• Buy holiday food supplies in bulk. Some non-perishable items may be used in quantity from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day. 
• Use credit cards that offer bonuses -- such as frequent flyer miles-with each dollar spent. 
• Give gift certificates -- they are easy to buy, easy and inexpensive to mail, and the individual can purchase what they really want. 
• If your family is large, have everyone buy one gift for one other person. Choose by drawing lots. 
• Put your hobbies to work and make handmade gifts for friends and relatives. 
• Use natural decorations, such as branches, berries, holly, and pine cones, which you can find in nearby woods. 
  Use brown paper shopping bags for wrapping paper and ask the kids to decorate with holiday drawings.

• Make a candy cane vase using an empty coffee can. Glue candy canes, curved side up, around the entire can. Fill this with red flowers for a spirited holiday table decoration. 
• For a children's holiday party, use a colorful woolen scarf as a table runner. Tuck silverware into matching mittens and fill hats with small bags of candy or cookies. 
• Group a collection of nutcrackers, teddy bears, or favorite ornaments together for a simple centerpiece. 
• Put some bare twigs in a vase and insert gumdrops or cranberries on the ends of the branches for an unusual tree centerpiece. 
• A nice natural centerpiece can be made by lining a wooden bowl with colorful leafy greens. Fill with a selection of winter fruit. 
• If you are handy with wrapping paper, wrap up some empty boxes with holiday wrapping and pile them in the center of your table. 
• Bread dough makes a beautiful wreath. Braid a long strand of your favorite bread dough and attach both ends. Add a ribbon at the top for an unusual wreath. 
• Spray pine cones and whole walnuts with gold or silver spray paint and scatter them around your house for a touch of shine. 
• Go beyond the traditional X-mas tree garlands of popcorn and cranberries and try stringing pasta or cinnamon sticks instead. You can also dry orange and apple slices and string them for a country holiday garland.
• Make small bowls of potpourri and place them around the house. Mix together some cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and allspice, citrus peel and pine cones.
