Potting soil mix
Milk cartons
Used pony packs or small containers
Plastic wrap
Assorted seedsparsley, tomatoes, cabbage, chives, marigolds, zinnias, asters, sunflowers, squash, poppies
During the winter, buy seeds to start inside. With scissors, cut off one side of a milk carton and staple the opening. Fill halfway with potting soil and lightly sprinkle with water to dampen. Sow seeds, one kind per carton, according to the directions on the packet. Label the carton or staple the seed packet to one end. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a dark, dry place until seeds germinate. Remove wrap and place in a sunny spot, watering often. When seedlings are 2 or 3 inches high, transplant 6-8 into smaller plastic containers. In a few weeks they will be ready for sale.
Let your neighbors know that you have bedding plants for sale and watch them disappear!
Note: Find a good gardening book and check for climate and soil suitability when selecting seeds.
Computer and printer
Good quality paper and matching envelopes
Word processing or desktop publishing software
If you have computer skills, you can produce personalized letterheads and matching envelopes for friends and family members. Your only costs are the paper and toner. You can also produce flyers, announcements, brochures, greeting cards, invitations, and forms. As your business increases, design yourself an order form complete with your name, logo, address, phone number, and price list. The quality of your order form will bring business your way.
Note: Color printing is more expensive and so is color copying. However, there may be special orders which will require you to use colorcharge a little more.
Assorted rolls of wrapping paper
Colored ribbons and matching bows
Clear adhesive tape
Empty gift boxes
Tissue paper (sheets)
Gift tags
Scissors
Before you begin wrapping gifts for other people, practice gift wrapping with newspaper and items around the house, such as books, socks, toys, and boxes of different shapes. Now neatly wrap a box or book in wrapping paper complete with ribbon, bow, and gift tag. You can use this sample to show your potential customers. Start offering your services to neighbors and busy working moms and dads. Allow your customers to choose the paper and the gift tag. Make sure you have all your materials with you and that you schedule enough time to complete the job to everyone's satisfaction.
Note: Some stores may let you set up a table at holiday time for a few hours per day. Show the store manager your sample and the gift wraps you plan to use when making your request.

For this idea, it is best to be at least 10 years old and to know how to take care of small children. Aside from evening babysitting, you should consider watching children after school until parents get off work, playing with children on Saturdays or Sundays, doing childcare during school holidays when parents are working, and staying with children before school when parents have to leave early to go to work. Also consider asking the managers of hair salons, athletic clubs, tanning booths, nail care salons, and health clubs if they could use childcare services. Adult parties and gatherings usually need a babysitting service, especially for baby and wedding showers, Tupperware parties, support groups, volunteer meetings, and women's clubs. Check your local newspaper for dates and times of meetings, then call and see if they need a sitter.
