I seriously wish that I could take credit for the following, but I can’t. I found this on Tampon Crafts. I sure wish that I had thought of this first.

“Your period comes every month, but Xmas comes only once a year. So bring that menstrual joy to this holiday season with these tampon tree decorations. From a string of tampon lights to a star at the top of the tree, feminine hygiene has never been so festive!”

This one is for Big Hair Envy….

 

CHECK THIS OUT!!!!! I’m gonna hang these babies all over my mobile home this holiday season. Oooieeee! Soooo purdy that I can’t wait to go to the Dollar Store uptown tomorrow! Your friends and relatives will be so jealous when they see these festive babies!

These festive tampon “lights” will brighten up your tree, or add a cheery touch to a window or doorway.

 Easy instructions at the Tampon Christmas craft site. While you are there, be sure and check out the fab New Year’s Eve ball, pan flute, and other fantastic (and cheap) ideas. There is even a craft/gift for the bald guy/woman on your list. Looky at this…..

HAIR>>>>>>> Uncle Jack won’t need Hair Club For Men after he gets this beaut!!!!!

Whoever does the Tampon craft site is a downright brainiac in my opinion. But, I can claim credit for this idea. Dip the tampons in your favorite body splash or cologne. Not only will they look festive but your house will smell great! Or, make a set for that hard to buy for person on your list. Dip them in their fav scent. They will think about you everytime that get a whiff of that colorful “woman’s item”.

Here’s another little tip/idea…..limit the number of “lights”  to 4 or less. Dip them in Pine-Sol or Dollar Store brand pine cleaner. Great smellin’ air fragrences for pick-ups and cars.  (Ladies…..these can, also, be used to mark your terrority).

Tampons….not just for that time of month (wink wink) any longer!!!!!

If you’re like me, you’ve been wondering what to do with all those empty Valium, TylenolPM, and vitamin  bottles that are laying around in your secret personal bathroom cabinet. Well, here’s a handy-dandy craft/gift that will use those suckers up so fast that you’ll have to doc-shop to fill  find something else to keep there.

Medicine bottle snowman…… Directions for making this lovely item can be found here. Check it out. There are lots of other cheapass thoughtful gifts on that site.

If you’re like me, cash flow has become almost non-exsistent since AIG took us (the honest, hard-working tax payers for a ride 2 or 3 rides). And,  you’re agonizing about what to do for a gift for that damn show-off fashionable friend or co-worker whose name you drew this year. Fret no more, friends! It’s an anything-goes fashion season when it comes to accessories. Make a necklace!!!!! All this requires is some fishing line, quilting thread, or dental floss and items that are just gathering dust in your house.

LOOKY! LOOKY! LOOKY!!!!!!!!

  This necklace actually won an award here. A teletubbie, a set of hooters, something aluminum, beads, and who knows what the hell else. You can be just as creative! Get busy picking up stuff that’s rolled under your couch. Good way to “re-gift”, too. Put those hand knitted ear muffs from Aunt Gert on a string. Use your imagination. Find stuff and string it. What could be easier. And, ya don’t even have to worry about something being to heavy to add. Anybody who would wear a bigass necklace like this is probably already weighted down by gaudy earrings in 8 holes in their ears and enough bangle bracelets to doll-up an entire Miami bridge club.

So, no excuses. No whining. No reason to not give to everyone on your list this year.

Next time, I’ll be giving some great ideas for holiday eats and treats….white trash style.
