Holiday Gifts Under $10.00

Chistmas Gifts Are Better When Shared With Others!
A Few suggestions for stocking stuffers, grandparents, friends or maybe even that unexpected guest you may see this year.

There are hundreds of great gifts that can be purchased
or made by hand for under $10, gifts that are both
thoughtful and frugal at the same time. Put them in an
inexpensive basket or wrap them with a pretty ribbon
and you'll truly have a beautiful gift--without breaking the bank!

I know you've probably heard it before
but it's really true that you don't have to spend a lot
of money to find that perfect gift for someone.
Just be sure to put some time and thought into it
and your gift will be well received...

Our loved ones probably appreciate our time and love
more than anything... I know this mother does.
