Creative Christmas (MoneySaving Ideas!)
Places to buy bits to make cards, wrapping paper, tags

Poundland - craft box full of bits and bobs, 5x glue sticks, pads of coloured rough paper, zigzag scissors, 5x glitter glue pens
WHSmiths - gummed stars, gold and silver pens (better to pay £2 than buy a cheap one as they run out really quickly)
The Works - packs of A4 plain/coloured card £1 - perfect for cards and tags
If you have a post room at work try popping in there for brown paper and string they usually have loads and are happy to give you some. If not, pop into your local haberdashery/market and buy 1 bundle of embroidery (cross stitch) yarn. Costs about 30p, cheaper than plain string, and much prettier. If you have a lot of tags to make you can seperate the yarns and retwist making twice as much yarn!
