Christmas is around the corner, and family and friends WILL be expecting a small ‘Happy Holidays’ gift. You’ll score major cool-peep points with these awesome gift picks that cost close to nothing!Make a mix CD, or a personalized playlist for someone. Make your bff a compilation CD of his/her favourite songs and wait for that text every time they play it, saying they are thinking of you!Give a technology lesson. This is by far the weirdest suggestion but it is an awesome gift. Since adults are always wisecracking about how their kids know more about technology, take the time to teach them something. Maybe Grandma would like to start a Facebook page. Maybe Dad would like to edit movies or do photo special effects but he just doesn’t have the time to learn how...show them!Bake something with your family and then give it to someone who could use some holiday cheer. This is a three-pointer. The first point comes in the time spent with family. The second comes when you give the baked goodies away. The third comes when you don’t expect anything in return.Help someone with Christmas decorations. Again, maybe there’s an elderly neighbour, or some new parents who just don’t have the time or energy to make things festive this year.www.alwaysadvent.wordpress.com
