US $8.95
looking for ideas for christmas on a budget!?
Ok lets see i have 200 bucks (and thats bill money... robbin peter to buy christmas sucks!) and i need to buy presents for:
My grandma - this is the hardest to please... i never get her something that she likes.
my mom - I found a movie she wants for 20 bucks
my step dad - im getting a 20 dollar gift card to an antique book shop for him
my sister 18 - no clue
my other sister 15 - no clue
my brother 24 - gift card to wal mart
my inlaws - sister and grand parents - the sister in law is getting a baby food warmer for 25 bucks but his grand parents are a tuff one!
now iv been working hard to make ginger bread cookies and decorating them. Christmas balls, trees, snow men, candy canes, angels ect. so my thought was ill decorate all these cookies put them in little decorative plastic bags tie some ribbon to them and voila! presents for my bosses and my guy's bosses too. and we can add them to presents were giving out to family too. Is this a good idea? any creative ideas?
I love to save money. It is a hobby of mine to put together gifts on the cheap. Some of my ideas-
Take advantage of the stores going out of business- linens n things, kb toys. If I shop online, I only look in the free shipping sections.
Go to the craft store- AC Moore, Michaels, JoAnns, etc. For my teen sister, I bought a scrapbook on sale for $3, then spent less than $15 on papers and stickers to get her started. I've used this idea many times- it looks like a lot for little money.
Walmart, Best Buy, and Circuit City sell dvds cheap. You could set up a movie night- dvd, bag of popcorn, box of candy and you're good to go. For a couple or a teen, you could buy movie tickets/gift certificates.
A little late now, but next year you could try ebay. I bid on a TN Titans watch, brand new, normally near $100. No one else bid, and there was no reserve, so I got it for 0.99! The shipping was $15, but for $16 dollars I'll take it! The watch showed up looking great within 10 days of winning.
Good luck shopping, hope this helps!

Walt Disney Treasures - The Chronological Donald, Volume Two (1942 - 1946) $32.99 As the number of cartoons in The Chronological Donald series indicates, Donald Duck was Walt Disney's biggest star during the '40s and '50s. Between 1941 and 1965, the studio made 106 Donald shorts, but only 49 Goofys and 14 Mickeys. With his flashpan temper, Donald was well suited to the more aggressive humor of wartime America. Donald's plump derrière got kicked, stung, swatted, or stuck in thi... |
