Mostly free present for my daughter's birthday

**imagine** · 01-12-2010, 11:24 AM

I made a "make up kit" for my nine year old. It has perfume, body cream, lip gloss, "diamond dust" (powder with a hint of sparkle), and a cool wash cloth.

Here is the price break down
Bath and Body perfume (retail $5) -- free
Bath and Body perfume another fragrance ( retail $5) --free
Bath and Body lip gloss cotton candy smell ( retail $7) -- free
Bonnie Bell lip gloss (retail $3.50) -- free
Bath and body cream ( retail $10.50) -- free with purchase I bought the washcloth $2.50.
Diamond dust -$3.27
And a purse to put in I bought it used but it looks new and has sparkle which my soon to be nine year old loves. $1.20

Total spent 6.97 If I had tried to buy that all it would have cost much more and she wouldn't of had as a complete set.

She is going to love it and I'm excited to give it to her later this month.

Happy birthday to your DD!

What a great present for a 9 year old girl! I'm sure she is going to love it! Free is always good and it definitely is a good way to make a dollar stretch!
