Inexpensive And Easy Gift Idea For a Child

November 27, 2012 by Carrie

Today I’m going to share an easy and inexpensive gift idea for a child.

Easy + inexpensive gift idea = happy Carrie!

One year as Christmas was approaching I wanted to make something for my daughter that would be special.  I didn’t want to spend much money and I also needed some artwork for her bedroom. Then the idea came to me: take some great pictures of her favorite stuffed animal and decorate her room with them!

Every child has that one special toy. You know–the one they want to take everywhere.  For my daughter it was her stuffed lamb, Lammy.  A neighbor gave it to her when she was a baby.  Little did we know it would become her first best friend.

So I staged a little “photo shoot” with Lammy, printed out the pictures, put them in frames and displayed them in her room!  She absolutely loves them.

I hope this helps stir up some creativity for your gift-giving this year!

      Thanks! Poor Lammy has seen better days. It’s a good thing I have the pictures to prove he was once all intact 😉
