Want to come finish mine? lol We're almost done. DH and son#2 did a lot of it so I've had help. Some I've done online and need to do more. You know the hardest ones? The ones that you have to stay under a certain dollar amount. I have one I have to stay under $25 and the person puts a list out there for you to follow....{sigh} Thinking I should give SF syrups or something useful. Any ideas for WLS friends under $25?

Nope not done yet, Im doing it alone this year so I am doing it in bunches, next week I will finish up and only have to worry about stocking stuffers.

No clue for under 25 except a really nice candle

I am a candle junkie so if the kids buy me 10000 I am happy

OMG, I'm starting to panic about the Christmas shopping this year. I haven't started and I don't have many gift ideas.

Gina, you could put a WLS basket together with a blender bottle, bottle of syrup and a a couple of packets made up of powder made up for a protein coffee.

My son and his wife live on the other side of the country, so I usually just send a gift card. Its those who live nearby that I have a problem with.

Good Morning...

Gift Certificates work for me...I enjoy giving them and getting them!! Its hard sometimes to stay within the limit amount. Im well on my way with the Christmas shopping this year...Now I just want to get it done and concentrate on the stockings, which is my favourite!!

Gina, we're done but only because we aren't doing any...budget is way too tight this year. Our gifts are those of time/visits/etc.

Makes it much easier to not stress!

I have only stocking stuffers left for my daughter, everything else is on laway at Walmart for her. I only need a couple other small gifts to get. Does anyone know where I can get some decent frames at a good price? Family is all getting pictures of my daughter in frames. So its easy and still something special. I have no clue on less than $25, maybe a cute candle or some lotions and body sprays?

Gina: If you have a Penzeys or similar store, you could give a group of spices. Penzeys usually has recipes in the store on how to use them.

I think I'm done--but waiting for an on-line package and will still probably pick up something s for my grandson if it calls out to me.

Gina,
I've only got a couple more gifts to buy and then I'm done! I've already purchased gift bags with tissue paper (I hate wrapping presents). I'm feeling pretty good about my Christmas shopping being almost done.

HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY, IT'S MIGHTY MOUSE ON THE WAY

$25 Gift idea - How about movie tickets with a healthy snack to go with it. Or buy a good DVD movie and put it in a plastic bowl with popcorn and healthy snacks & drinks etc. Good Luck!

Most of my gifts will be donations in someone's name. My DS and DD get gifts but they will either be bought on line or DH will have to do them. I am not feeling festive at all.
