Yes, the time is at hand when you MUST think about this.
And here's a start in the right direction: a frugal grannie who argues for $50 spent -- and 4 presents for each person on her list. Yes, 4 -- and about the same size, so they (the recipients) don't argue:
*One food item -- but just for them
*One handmade item
*A small $2 present
*A 'time with me' certificate.
This is worth listening to, and adapting for your family... although I wouldn't have enough brown paper bags for wrapping. Colorado charges 10 cents for each bag -- so I stopped buying them years ago. Besides, I have plenty of thrift-shop and dollar store paper left.
P.S. I already asked the Brick what kind of goodie he would like: Chocolate chip cookies!
