How do you guys Save $$$$ during the Holidays???? Ideas please??

[Aubrey London {Madam}]

Hey Everyone, just wondering how you guys go about saving money during the busy Holiday Season? It's so hectic and we all seem like we're in a tight crunch that shelling out any extra money besides bills sounds crazy, but we still do it....year after year.

I personally like to buy a lot of smaller items and get everyone on my list instead of just a few people with a heftier price tag on their presents. I also purchase on Ebay to save money. One of my favorite things to give are books, which are cheaper and have great value to them, plus they provide the reader a valuable lesson. What do you guys do? I'd love to find out some new ideas that could possibly help me and any other PL members for the 2011 Holiday Season!!! Thanks in advance!!!

I always just make things. One year I made everyone scarves. Cookies, fudge, hair accessories, and framed photos are pretty cheap too.

It's a great idea to make things because it comes from the heart and a little elbow grease. Thanks for sharing Lettie!!! I hope your Holidays are great so far!!!!

I have always made goodies. Rather it be with my sewing machine, candy, breads, canning, etc. I even get the kids into making things for their grandparents. They love it. It is more personal and the teachers LOVE stuff like that instead of more coffee cups. hehe
