#Shoestring Xmas
Last year we were giving for xmas. This year we are giving and saving by doing xmas on a shoestring.
We have put together a twitter aggregator which pulls in tweets anytime someone mentions ShoestringXmas (#shoestringxmas).
To promote this fun tool we took old xmas cards – luckily weird people like Darcie collect them – and had rubber stamps made with our message, logo and charity we are donating to, Marie Curie, with the money we saved.
Many people are having a tough time this year and we felt it would be a good way to bring cheer, cheek and some possibly useful ideas to save!
Check out the website http://www.shoestringxmas.com and tweet your own ideas.
Also, you can check out the video below to see the process and the fun we had throughout the project.
