#savemoney Parties and birthdays, we all know it. A child's children's party at school, Sinterklaas party, your partner's birthday, best friend or one of your children. Incredibly fun and cozy, but it also creates extra costs. Below you'll find tips for saving on parties and birthdays! 1. Plan ahead; you can buy and hide Sinterklaas gifts now. At Kruidvat and Blokker, they often have offers, for example 1+1 free or 50% discount. If you wait until the last minute, you'll pay the grand prize. Of course, this also applies to birthday parties. It is convenient to have a stock. How to spread the costs throughout the year. 2. 2nd free? Save the 2nd! And of course I mean care products or chocolate. If there is an adult's birthday, you can turn it into a pampering package yourself. 3. Budgeting; Set aside 2 euros each week for birthdays starting today. Make 2 jars. 1 home and 1 away game. You can use the home potty for celebrating a birthday/party at home. This money is for extra groceries, such as cake, snacks and other treats. The away jar is for the purchase of gifts or a nice card to send. 4. Be creative! You can make your own gift packages. In the action, you buy a nice basket, or you grab a cardboard box and have it decorated by your children. A roll of transparent foil and some fun gadgets you've saved up and you have a nice budget gift. 5. Pack your gifts in store. There are packing tables at most Kruidvat branches and garden centers. You then pack your gift in the store, put a name sticker on it and you no longer have to buy wrapping paper. 6. Use your freezer; At many supermarkets, discounted cakes are offered on the day. For example at the Jumbo. There you can buy a cake for €2, - that normally costs around €799. Did you know that you can freeze a cake and keep it in the freezer for 3 months? This also applies to barbecue meat, for example, if you organize a barbeque. 7. Request gift vouchers for your birthday. For example from the Action or from a supermarket. This always comes in handy and so you can be sure that the receipt does not stay in a drawer for years. 8. Give an activity as a gift, such as a picnic in the park, a movie night at your home or a voucher for a fun walk together. Do you have any more tips? Comment below this message. :-)
