Good 'free' gifts

98jdougl

I found a couple of good sites that you can get free printable gifts from which I have found are ace in hampers Figured it would be good to share them with you lot and steal any of yours if you have them:

www.freenameastar.com - free name a star
www.inthepaper.co.uk - free personalised front page of a newspaper. (need to copy and save the preview to word and then print out)


have possibly got some more lurking about.

not quite a site but have also got:
pinecone christmas trees- stick pinecone into an old plastic bottle cap, paint with green acrylic paint on the tips and add some beads for baubles

homemade voucher booklets with promises relating to whoever it is for ie: promise to do the dishes, hoovering, visit, something naughty lol

I love the idea of the personalised front page of the newspaper. I have tried copying it and saving in word but I still only get a small picture. Could you please give me instructions on how to do it (in simple terms:rotfl: ). TIA

if you continue as if you are going to checkout and then preview it i think that should work

Did the name a star one for baby grandson...and did little christmas star story to go with it............he won't understand but his mum and dad will be thrilled..............lol

I did it for my sister and her fiancee. I have yet to try the paper one, got it from another MSE'r so will try and remember where the original post was (had it saved to my favourites) sorry girls

98 - I've got it in my favourites from the Freebies board - maybe a search on Freebies will find it. Can't seem to retrieve it from my favourites for some reason
I know if you go onto Liverpool Echo there's a link somewhere on there to do a free paper but whether it takes you to all of them I don't know.

Top of my newspaper bit it says www.inthepaper.co.uk - maybe thats it ?

How about free colouring printables for kiddies. Could give printables with crayons/pens as a gift...
