With Christmas fast approaching and everyone spending more than they do at every other time of the year, I like to keep my frugal hat on still and make more money rather than spending money. There are some fail-safe ways of doing this. Continue reading and I will share some of the tips with you.

If you live someplace where it snows a lot at this time of the year, why not invest in some snow clearing equipment and offer your services in your neighborhood? That’s a good way to clear your path and also to make money clearing snow for others. Do a good job and you will find you come highly recommended.
Give handmade gifts. I find that these gifts are more treasured and most can cost less to make than to buy expensive ones in the stores. If you have a craft that you do, then do it. As well as making gifts for friends and family, you can also sell some of these at Christmas time to make even more money. I do know what I am talking about. I sell cakes, knitted and crocheted items like blankets, scarves and baby clothes and toys. I have now come to depend on this extra income at Christmas time.

There are elderly people who live alone who depend on the kindness of others. They find it difficult to be out and about especially if it is very cold and the roads are treacherous. It might be a good idea to approach them, to find out if they would like any good deed done on their behalf. Some will pay to have jobs done, but even if they don’t, consider that your contribution to the saving of humanity!
It might not seem like ‘making money’ to you but when you purchase gift wrapping paper, decorations and other Christmas paraphernalia at the end of the season when they are much cheaper, that is a saving to you. It would cost you more to buy them at the start of the next season when they are quite expensive so there you go. Also if you have suitable facilities to store them away safely, you should be able to resell some to friends and family at a profit.
Make wreaths. There are some beautiful wreaths that appear on people’s door at Christmas time. Some are beautifully handmade and from all sorts of materials. If you are one of those crafty ones, you can make and sell those. If you are crafty but have never done one of these well check PINTEREST for inspiration.
