'I’m a money-saving mum - easy ways to bulk up present pile without spending more'
"Wrapping clothes on hangers makes the gifts look bigger," Miryka explains - plus it'll save you from buying more when you need to hang them.You don't have to buy new each year, in fact, Miryka suggests repurposing forgotten things you have.Some ideas might include a fun movie night at home, or a 'day pass' for an activity of choice.
She also suggests making use of unused photo albums. A great idea is to fill it with great picture ideas for your little ones, with the aim to fill it in by the end of the following year.If you're going for a big impact on Christmas morning, how you place the presents under the tree is key. "Don’t stack them high," Miryka warns. "Make sure each present is touching the floor and angled to come out away from the last."Try adding decorationsMiryka says to "zig-zag the tinsel between the presents" and it will make it look like there's more going on.Just like the voucher book or photo album idea, home science experiments can be a great added gift.
"Google and Pinterest have some great science projects you can do with household items," the mum of four says.
