Hello People. I love BAGS too! Anyway, you were promised some lovely, inexpensive ideas for Christmas gift giving so, here we go. First, this is awesome, our Aunt Maryanne gave the captors a "cookie jar". It's not what you think. It's a jar with all of the ingredients (except the perishables) to make a batch of cookies!
It's lovely! On the other side of the jar is the recipe and baking instructions. We just thought this was wonderful and the perfect little gift to say "we're thinking of you at the Holidays". Next, flavored oils or "dipping oils" (as the cool kids call them) are very inexpensive. Match up two with a nice crusty bread in a basket (from the Dollar Store) and you have a great (and delicious) gift for under $10!
The captors are baking Italian Christmas cookies for their friends and co-workers. It's a bit of work but, when all is said and done, they'll have about 10 gifts, all for under $20 and who doesn't love cookies! For those quickie gifts (where a bottle of wine won't do) it's back to the Dollar Store (LOVE that place) get three Christmas tins and three Christmas mugs. Go to your warehouse store and by a gift box of flavored teas or coffees ($9.99). Put a mug and a third of the teas or coffees in each tin, throw in a small package of crackers wrap them up in cellophane (Dollar Store again!) and there you go, three lovely little gifts for about $7 apiece! Be creative. Have fun with it. Gifts don't have to be expensive to be appreciated. After all, it's the thought that counts! HoHoHo!
