Low on cash and losing time? Free prezzies fast!

Running low on cash AND time? For all you present procrastinators (you know who you are), we've compiled our ah-mazing free (ish) gifts for the most important people on your list. Yep, the best things in life are definitely free....

 
For your boyfriend...

Plan an indoor picnic! Head over to your guy’s house with a plaid blanket, a board game and a basket full of sandwiches, snacks and soda and you’re set for a rollicking good time.

For your dad...

Whip up a batch of Dad’s fave brownies and dress them up in a glass mason jar with a ribbon around the lid. Dee-lish!

For your bestie...

Plan a sleepover she’ll totally heart. Borrow her fave movies from the library, whip up her fave cookies and set aside some time to just plain chill during vacay. So fun.

For your bro...
Put together an awesome playlist of songs that you think he’ll totally love. Create a cool song list and make a crafty CD case by folding construction paper into an envelope.

For your sister...

Treat her to breakfast in bed. Get up earlier than she does and surprise her with a tray full of her fave b-fast foods. Eggs, pancakes and bacon, anyone? Add a sweet handmade card and some flowers for a fancy touch.

For your mom...

With everyone’s schedules being oh-so-nutty, it’s hard to spend as much time with Mom as you used to. Give her a gift that ensures you two spend time together. Write her a card saying you’d like to spend one Sunday a month doing something you two love. Maybe it’s baking, crafting, hiking, biking—whatever it is you have in common, make it more of a ritual.

I know this is kinda late for ideas.. but something I did last year that turned out super cool was a customized picture frame. Grab a picture frame (A wooden one from the $ store or somethin' will do.) Then get some fun paint from your craft stuff, awesome stickers that remind you of you and your bff, and some fun pictures of you guys (I just grabbed a few from my camera!) Then make a scrapbook type thing inside!
