Any Good Ideas for Cheap Gifts?

I don’t usually start thinking about holiday shopping until the second week of December, but this year I’m trying to get a head start (I’m already behind!) because I’ll need to put a little more work into my gifting. I still want to generate warm fuzzy feelings for the people I love; I just don’t want to leave myself out in the cold in the process. I’m thinking small but meaningful gifts—homemade stationery, desserts, spa treats, hand-bound albums, and even the gift of my time. What about you? Any ideas?

I just found that Polkadot Patch Boutique has the cutest selection of funky Animal Baby Booties ON SALE for $12.80 a pair. Nice quality and a great little stocking stuffer for baby. www.polkadotpatch.com I need to start early and pace myself. I'm trying to shop online and save my global imprint.

I always keep my eye out for useful bargains to restock my gift cupboard holding all those things I'm meaning to give somebody. I keep them in one spot, otherwise, it's lost for another year. Today, I found initial tins with scented candles from Pottery Barn for $1.97. I check the clearance aisle at my favorite stores regularly, because you never know when the restocking will change.

Every year after easter the thrift stores are full of baskets. Pick up a few and start a basket for your friends that gives them a night off . Pick up a move ( lots at good prices at most movie rental places)
Get popcorn and lots of things that give them a great night alone and promotes a relaxing night off.For some add a bottle of wine others something drinkable other than wine. Add a personal handmade card and tha's a perfect gift at a reasonable price. If your gift is from the heart then that's all that matters not the price or size . RIGHT !

I begin in the summer purchasing picture frames in different sizes. I have always accumulated
pictures during the year that others in my family circle and friends circle will appreciate so
this is always a welcome gift. Picture frames are expensive at some places but if you get them
at places like Walmart,KMart,Ross Dress for Less, Target,Marshalls in their gift departments they
are reasonably priced.Copying the pictures yourself always can save you $$$

I received a "You Go Girl" poster from my best friend and it rocks.!. It is such a novel idea....there's something for everybody. http://www.survivorposters.com/ I'm amazed at all the ways you can honor a parent or special friend. Can't wait to hang it on my wall!
