  1. I like doing surveys for extra money. It is only about $4-$5 a month but I am going to let it add up and cash out when it gets over $100. I also like to enter contests to try and win toys for Christmas presents.

  2. I try to sign up for company newsletters to save %-off on gifts, I do focus groups for extra cash, I sell gently used household items like the kids’ coats/clothing on Kijiji. And winning a contest is always an extra helpful bonus right before the holidays!

  3. These are great ideas! Sometimes I apply to for temporary jobs to staff events and shows that are plentiful around the holiday season.

  4. Making Christmas wreaths is a great and easy idea to make a bit. Usually you can get tree tips for free and sell the wreaths for $25.
