Birthday Party Invitations
Approximate $ Savings: $20-$30
Instead of buying or making expensive invitations for my children's themed birthday parties I dress them up in a costume and take digital pictures of them. I load them on the computer and send out invitations on Facebook's events function. If there is anybody that isn't on Facebook I email them the invitation with the picture attached. Birthday parties can be expensive and invitations this way cost nothing which is a great saving.

A Giant Freckle is a Special Gift
We have had great success creating giant chocolate freckles for kids birthday presents....something yummy and a little bit special, for the price of about $2 each (and that will make a HUGE freckle). Buy a block of plain milk chocolate (stay away from the cheap compound cooking chocolate...it tastes terrible) and a pack of hundreds and thousands. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler, and then pour/spread in a large circle shape onto Alfoil on a baking tray. Sprinkle liberally with the hundreds and thousands, and then pop in the fridge for an hour or so. Wrapped in clear cellophane with a nice ribbon, these make gorgeous and very adorable gifts that any five year old will love as a special treat!
