Affordable Or Free Creative Teacher Gifts

AFFORDABLE OR FREE CREATIVE TEACHER GIFTS

Well with April, we are approaching the end of the year. I wanted to share with you theCreative and Affordable Teach Gifts that I wrote for Baby Cheapskate.
Labels: Teachers will have to pack up and move many things. To easily identify their belonging, these FREE 140 ct of labels is great. Shipping adds around $3.
Postcards: Teachers often have to send home notes. Having a generic note, perhaps with their first name on the front, their classroom grade, school mascot/name, etc makes a nice personalized card. Pick up 100 for FREE! Shipping adds around $5.
Business Cards: Business Cards are great for teachers to share contact information with one another or with parents. Pick up 250 for FREE! Shipping adds around $5.
Flip Books: Make them a small flip book of the year.Pick up a FREE Flip Book with around $4 S&H. (get one HERE too!)
Gift Cards: Use services like Groupon, Living Social, or Eversave to find deals for your area. If you get credit to a restaurant/spa use that certificate price to go buy a gift card.
Daily Deal Sites: I find that Rue La La, One Kings Lane, Jasmere, and Gilt are great daily deal sites. Check back each day to see what new items they have as unique gifts. Shopping now ensures arrival in time for the end of the year. Plus if you have the $20 credit in your account (on Rue La La) you have a bonus savings.
Don’t forget the creative idea for using FREE prints to make your teachers a great card!
Thank you Frugal Coupon Living for these wonderful ideas!!!!

The Home Ownership Dream Is Still Alive!

A majority of Americans – both owners and renters – still believe in the importance of home ownership. That’s according to a study conducted by Fallon Research & Communications Inc., which reveals that 91 percent of owners and 72 percent of renters believe owning a home is a good financial investment.
As people age, their beliefs in the value of home ownership seem to be reinforced, according to the survey’s results. The study found that 69 percent of people ages 18-29, 76 percent of people ages 30- 44, 81 percent of people ages 45-59, and 86 percent of those over 60 believe home ownership is a good investment.
The study also revealed that 68 percent of renters agree that home owners experience a better quality of life due to more stable communities and greater pride in their neighborhoods

Foreclosure Assistance Kicks Off Statewide

Tallahassee, FL - A $1 billion program aimed at helping homeowners avoid foreclosure kicked off Monday, though it is less ambitious than originally proposed.
The Florida Housing Corp. began taking applications Monday morning for the federally funded program that will provide nearly 40,000 unemployed and underemployed homeowners with up to six months of cash assistance to make payments on mortgages that would otherwise go unpaid.
Created by the U.S. Treasury in February 2010, the Housing Finance Agency Innovation Fund for the Hardest-Hit Housing Markets sets aside funds from the 2008 federal stimulus package to five states: Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada, states with the highest levels of foreclosures. The program was later expanded to 18 states. Florida’s cut to date is $1 billion of nearly $9 billion in federal funds.
Florida is the last state of five original recipients to get its program underway. The program was rolled out last year in Lee County as a pilot. The region was the epicenter of a housing bust resulting in thousands of foreclosures.
“For the homeowners who qualify, this temporary relief from their mortgage payments will provide some ‘breathing room’ so they can focus on becoming re-employed at a level that will allow them to resume making payments on their own,” said Steve Auger, executive director of Florida Housing Finance Corp.
Florida’s original program would have provided as much as $35,000 in assistance over an 18 month period for homeowners who were looking for work and behind on their mortgages. After taking office, however, Gov. Rick Scott ordered a review of the program and changed its parameters.
The new program reduced the maximum award up to $12,000 and shortens the duration of benefits, which advocates said could reduce the program’s effectiveness for recipients whose job search takes longer to complete, as Florida’s economy recovers more slowly than other states.
The program also offers up to $6,000 for residents who have gone back to work to pay delinquent mortgage payments.
“Shortening it to six months is going to create more of a challenge,” said Jaimie Ross, president of the Florida Housing Coalition. But, she said, “the coalition is going to do everything it can to make the program a success.”
About 70 agencies are assisting in outreach efforts including local SHIP offices, non-profit groups and for-profit companies
