Coupons are fun and easy to make. You can use any kind of paper, markers or crayons and even use stickers or pictures if you want them to be more elaborate. Coupons are an easy alternate way of giving a gift from the heart. You can decide whatever you want to give in your budget, and you can give services or spend time with people if money is tight. Don’t let money be a stumbling block this Christmas season. There are other ways to give to others besides a store bought present. Coupons allow you the freedom to give whatever you can in any budget.
