[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 453260, member: 4264"] Some great ideas here!!! My cousin is more a sister to me. We're very close and we both understand the budget restraints thing. I started to collect freebies (online, shop promotions etc) and I'm going to buy a dollar store stocking before Christmas and fill it with freebies I've collected that I know she will love. She thinks its great that I'll be spending so much time working to sleuth the web for those freebies for her. I also plan to sew the stocking shut since she's a secret peeker!! It is going to drive her insane that she can't snoop so I'm sending it for under her tree at LEAST 2 weeks early lol. For a few good neighbors and for easy child's teachers, I'll be packaging a jar of homemade sugar free jam in a small basket with a package of specialty crackers and a mug (dollar store) and a single serve package of good quality hot chocolate. I love the idea of the chocolate pretzels! I may have to find a way to incorporate some of those into my small token baskets. There are 3 families I like to send a small gift too but it usually gets so costly and often I can't do it. This year, each family is getting a small basket from the dollar store. I may use those pretzels in them! Along with a gift code I'll pay for so they can have a month of Netflix. I'll throw in a bottle of water per person and tape a flavored juice packet to each bottle (Nestea or Crystal Light). Voila, a movie night in a box for the whole family for about $10. [/QUOTE]
