Sometimes I get so overwhelmed trying to find just the right thing for someone’s birthday that I’ll actually miss the occasion.  Isn’t that awful?  Two weeks ago, I missed my sister-in-law’s birthday because I was out of town and I didn’t have a plan or any cards on hand.  Pitiful.  I ended up sending her a gift when I got back home, but if I keep having to do that for everyone, I’m going to go broke.  Can you relate?  That’s why two nights ago, I made a better plan.

I used my Silhouette Cameo die cut machine to help me make a simple box out of paper.  I used this file.  It was easy to assemble using just a little tape and paper.  I added some rhinestones to make it extra pretty.  That was the first part of my plan.  The second part?  Going to Walmart to buy a bunch of Hallmark cards (starting at 47 cents!!) and filling this box with them.  There’s no way that I’m missing another occasion!

I made different boxes to hold cards for other occasions.  Now, I just have to open the box, grab a card and put it in the mail.  Easy!

I bought a good variety of birthday cards so I can grab one that best fits the person I’m sending it too.  I added reminders to my online calendar so I won’t miss another date.  I love that these cards were just .47 each because it allowed me to be able to stock up.  When I checked out the Walmart cashier said, “I’ve got to get back there and get some of these.  I can’t believe they’re only .47 for Hallmark!”  Agreed!

As a matter of fact, I saved so much money that I was able to create a simple and sweet gift for my friend who’s birthday was the next day.  I bought mini cupcakes and flowers at Walmart too.  Those make great gifts AND you can split them up if you have several people to give to…like I do in August.  August is birthday central around here.  Soooo many birthdays!  These thoughtful and inexpensive ways to celebrate will really help me stay on budget AND stop procrastinating.  YAY!

I also bought this Hallmark wrapping paper at Walmart.  It matches these cards so well!  I chose coordinating cards, flowers and cupcakes for simple, themed gifts.

Being able to find wrapping paper, flowers, cupcakes and Hallmark cards starting at 47 cents all at Walmart is a great way to stay on budget and deliver a thoughtful gift without breaking the bank.  YAY to that!

I used mason jars tied with ribbon and lace to create simple vase gifts that are easy to carry and reusable too.

What simple gift ideas are your favorites?
