429 Great Gifts To Make All Year Around for Just 10 cents to 10 dollars, Anna Marie Doherty & editors of Family Circle Magazine, 1972, The Family Circle, Inc, hardcover with dust jacket,
A 35+ year old treasure trove of gift ideas that won't break your budget -- even in 21st century dollars! Actually, there are more than 429 ideas here, because the editors of Family Circle wouldn't count the ones that cost a little over 10 bucks (in 1972 dollars), even though "their value far exceeds the few extra dollars it costs to make them."
Projects were chosen only if they could be made of materials you could easily get your hands on at regular stores -- dime stores, lumberyards, home improvement stores, hobby shops, pharmacies, and fabric stores. -- though most of them could be made with the stuff you've held on to for recycling. And quite a few are so easy to make that the instructions need be only two or three sentences long.
Chapters include: Gift Shop Goldmine, Toyland Treasures, Collector's Items, Fabulous Gifts for Women, Green Thumb Department, For Men Only, Handsome Housewares, Terrific Totes, Young World, Food Gifts for All Occasions, and Methods (with special instructions, needlework stitch illustrations, and a section for left-handed embroidery).
Sample items include a clever vinyl magazine rack, adorable rag dolls, a cardboard dollhouse, cross stitch Christmas cards, an 8-bottle wine rack of wood dowels and square pine stock, fancy t-shirt transformations, a blacksmith's apron, a mini-greenhouse, a cookbook stand, handbags embellished with crewel embroidery designs, cute baby bibs, quick crochet and knit items, cookies, breads, sauces, jellies, and candied fruits, and lots more.
"You need never buy another gift if you own this first-of-its-kind book!"
In excellent, gently used, clean condition. Dust jacket has small edge tears. Red hardcover book is almost like new, with a small separation of the front endpapers from the spine, though glued so well that none are in danger of coming loose. |
