Help! Gift Ideas (cheap! lol)

[eranslow]

So this weekend marks the end of the season for my synchronized skating team. We've had a really fun year and I would like to give them all a little something to thank them for all the hard work and dedication. But I am drawing a blank on ideas. I have 9 girls on the team - and I really don't want to spend too much $. So something simple! Ages range from 13-16. I appreciate the help ladies!! :)

What if you went to the dollar store or Walmart and bought some frames then added a team photo to each frame, maybe with a little digital word art or something?

That's an easy idea Celeste! Good thing tomorrow is errand day!! :)

I love the $ store! I agree with Celeste and then maybe you could wrap them and make digital tags with the girls name on them. Then they'd be personalized.

Another thought is mini 4x6 albums. $ Store has them sometimes and you can customize the front with digital art that says your team name and the year and then the girls can fill the albums with pics from the season - or you could put a few in there to get them started.

Here's one I made for vacation photos and it was easy to make the cover and then tie on the ribbons - but you could skip the ribbons and it would still be super cute!

Either way - at with girls that age pictures are the perfect present!

you could also buy the plastic type of album - then just slide the art in the front and photos in the inside

youc an pick these up at m's in their dollar section or the dollar store probably has them too.

I know I have a few of the photo books like the one Celeste posted - used them back way back when I paper scrapped! I think I got those at Target.

Definitely some fantastic ideas!! Thank you! Deciding what to do will be hard!
