Inexpensive presents?I am trying hard to keep within our budget with buying gifts this year. I am usually about done Christmas shopping by now, but this year... I am no where near done. I am thinking a few late nights at the sewing machine may be on my list for the next week or two. I just am running low on ideas. But to my grateful heart, I was out shopping at the second hand store yesterday and I am looking for something that would be nice for gifts yet not too junky. I easily was persuaded by the book rack to fill a bag for my youngest who is 2.5 yo and she loves books! Finding books that are simple yet sweet was not the easiest and after thumbing through about 500 books, I found 8 or so that I thought were acceptable....all for 10 cents each! And all looked like new... as if no one had ever read them. Dh was pleased and felt it was a great gift... he was planning on getting her a book (spending $10 on one book...so $.80 was a deal for 8!) Now, I just need to figure out something that will be just as loved for my other three daughters. I always buy them a pair of pajamas and we fill stockings with little gifts. I have none so far. I am stumped and low on funds. If anyone has any ideas for homemade items that teen girls might enjoy... I'm all ears!
