xmas pressies - am i being a cheapskate?

[Jas]

Great idea! I did this for Phil for fathers day as one of his presents! It sounds like something they will love even more as the years go by something that in 25yrs will still be a wonderful christmas gift. On the back of the canvass I would write the date you do it dd's age at the time and christmas 2009 so you will know exactly when it was done in yrs to come. I would also do one for you and one for dd otherwise in 25yrs u will kick yourself!

Christmas isnt about spending more than you can afford

In my opinion presents like that mean far more to people than expensive gifts, so no, you shouldn't feel cheap at all.

I think its a great idea. And you and DD will probably have HEAPS of fun making them

I too agree , i would love something like that from my niece..
I think i will be pinching this idea too.

Glad to know I have started a trend!!

I actualy stole the idea off a girl I knew, she kept them for herself but with the canvasses and paint being so cheap I thought why not...gona be tough to stop DD licking the paint off her hands!!

I hope it isn't cheap... we painted up DDs feet two weeks ago! They are all wrapped up and ready to be delievered

nope great idea - we did it in April for pressies for the year. You can also get blank puzzles so if you have older kids for gifts you can give them a personalised puzzle.

Stealing the idea too! My sister and mum especially would love it. Small canvas with a handprint from DS on - it can be his gift to them. (He's just "bought" my mum a toy tractor for her birthday as they have an in-joke about tractors.)

I'll look so involved and good-mummy and it's your idea!

I think that it sounds like a fabulous idea. Am going to steal it for next year too
