Are you looking for something out of the ordinary to give to someone as a gift? If you’re like most people, you tire of the cookie cutter gifts that are bought from the stores. There are only so many blankets, candles or perfumes a person needs before it becomes too much. The perfect solution to avoid giving a gift that someone already has too much of us to give a homemade gift. Although it has fallen out of fashion, many people today prefer gifts that were made by their friends or loved ones rather than one that was bought. During tough economic times, it’s getting harder and harder to purchase those gifts, anyway. Save yourself some money and your friend the favor of having to return an unneeded item by making a gift from the heart. You’ll find lots of ideas in the free printable crafts section at PrintablesFree.com.
Free Printable Bookmarks for Avid Readers
If your friend or family member is a reader, the perfect gift for giving is a bookmark (or several). Our free printable bookmarks make giving easy. Each page has several different bookmarks, but not many people will want loads of the same design. Rather, what you can do is print out several different designs, selecting one of each for your friend. You’ll then have the others to create bookmark and reading packages for your other friends that love to read. Although they’re wonderful as is, you can improve the bookmarks by printing them on thick cardstock and laminating them. That way, they’ll last a long time, especially for those who read frequently. If you’d like to dress them up a little, read below for some tips!
Free Printable Bookmarks to Go with Your Halloween Treats
Kids get lots of candy on Halloween, but aren’t there gifts that can benefit children more? We think so. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t hand out treats at all – your house might get egged! Rather, it would be a good idea to hand out something educational or useful along with your treats so that the present will last longer than a couple of days. These free printable globe bookmarks are perfect for kids and adults alike. School hasn’t been in session long yet, so it evokes that “back to school” feeling while still being appropriate for year-round use. To dress up these bookmarks, punch a hole in one end after the bookmarks are laminated. Tie a colorful ribbon or bit of braided yarn or string through the hole for decoration. You could also choose different bookmarks of a similar size to create two-sided bookmarks. Alternately, you can write a personalized message on the backs of these bookmarks. You’ll get three bookmarks per page, so you won’t have to worry about lots of wasted paper. Just pop these bookmarks in with your candy as your trick-or-treaters come along, and they’ll smile later in the night when they pull them out. If you’d rather not give candy at all, consider the cheap $1 books found at Dollar Stores to go along with these bookmarks.
