Painted Garden Terra Cotta Pots

While you can always buy a garden pot made of 100 percent recycled e-plastic, why not pick up a terra cotta pot at a thrift store or a neighborhood garage sale and hand paint it with a holiday design? You can even make some cute holiday ornaments!

Build a Basket

Who doesn’t have a straw basket around the house or garage? If you don’t you can pick one up for a song at a local thrift store. Then build your own basket – perhaps with homemade cookies or muffins, with fruits and cheeses, or with any other items you know the receiver would appreciate!

Treasure Finds

Perhaps you have a shirt or piece of jewelry around the house you’ve never worn? Remember the popular saying, “One’s person trash is another person’s treasure?” These unused items can be recycled, making great gift items.
