gesture.....

there are lots of ways to show you're thinking of someone,love someone,or even just to say "thanks" to someone w/out spending money.

Look for ways to show these things by using your heart ,thought,and creativity rather than money.

Make a card yourself,deliver some baked goods,offer some sort of small service to that person etc.

Garage sales

-Be on the look out for great deals on books, clothes, movies, etc.
-When you find a certain home that has great clothes that fits your kids ask if they have a sale every year. If so keep an eye out.
-Look for sales that say daycare closing if you are looking for toys.
