I have over the years learned some "old fashioned" skills and it has saved me a lot of money. Here are a few ideas for you.
I learned how to crochet and now I can make blankets for my family and friends for presents or just to lounge in.
I learned how to quilt it may not be the best yet, but it was made with lots of love.
I am learning how to sew a sorta straight line recently and made my own grocery bags.
Learn a new skill, and save money. It is fun to do and people always appreciate a hand made gift.
