Creative & Frugal Gift Idea AND Free Printable Gift Tag

Bookmark and Share

I love this idea from creative blogger, Skip to My Lou!  It’s a free printable gift tag that she attached  to hand soap and gave as a teacher gift. What a thoughtful, helpful, creative (and frugal) gift this is!

:: Print the FREE “If I Can Give You A Hand, Please Call” gift tag you’ll find here ~ we printed our tags on a heavy letter size cardstock and then used a straight edge trimmer to quickly cutout the tags with precise edges.

Enjoy and Share!    :)

HOT Groupon DEAL! 65% OFF Picaboo Photobooks

Bookmark and Share 

————————————————————-
My personal experience with Picaboo:  I bought this Picaboo offer last year when it was on Groupon to capture our Spring vacation memories (so glad to see it roll back around right before we take this year’s vacation!).  It is a GREAT deal for those of us who aren’t traditional scrapbookers.  I love Picaboo’s coffee table quality products, easy layout designs, and the simplicity of using picture books to organize my photos. 

I especially LOVE today’s Groupon price!

Just in time to preserve your Spring and end-of-school photos and memories, Picaboo and Groupon have launched a great “side-bar” savings offer of 65% OFF the regular price of any photo books, calendars and collage posters from Picaboo!  There are two 65% OFF saving options:  For $25 you get $75 worth of  photo books, calendars, and collage posters, or you can choose $35 for $100 worth of products.  Offer must be purchased by Monday, but can be used through October 30, 2012.

Pass this along to your friends in other cities, too! This can be purchased and used from anywhere in the U.S (find at the Fort Worth Groupon site).

Find the menu tab at the very top of the page labeled “All Deals” (in the navigation bar right above the words “Fort Worth”).  Click on the “All Deals” tab which will take you to a new page with lots of other Groupon deals.   When I last looked, I found the link to the Picaboo offer on the left of the 3rd row. Just be sure to…
  4. Buy your Groupon before the end of the day, Monday.
    You do have until October 30, 2012 to use your Groupon. Since
