Doing handicrafts rather than ordering things

Doing handicrafts rather than ordering things

Polaroid

We order most of our gifts in the Internet these days. However, we could be making wonderful new things ourselves out of the various materials and cardboard used as packaging for the things we order. Furniture, toys, home decor items – the Internet is full of craft ideas and instructions. And, as a result, you not only share good times with your loved ones but also save money and valuable resources.

    My son said: "I want a Macbook, a smartphone, and a meal at McDonald's." I said: "Listen, this time I'm going to give you time rather than stuff." Furious, he screamed: "Then I'm going to find myself a new dad." But it worked out in the end.
