What are some simple homemade christmas gift ideas for adults?
Q. I need different ideas on what are some easy handmade christmas gift ideas that adults will enjoy for christmas time.
Any help will be great.
Thanks.

A. After seeing store bought baskets, and being disappointed in their shoddiness and poor quality, I make baskets, and varied them by theme according to each family. It got quite expensive last year because it was my first time, but this year I am picking up wicker baskets at thrift stores such as The Salvation Army and Goodwill.

1. Bring baskets home. Line up in the bathtub . . . turn on shower with warm water over them to remove the dust. Place them out in the sun to dry, and air.

2. Silver, gold, red, and green (or whatever color you like) paints and lovely 2" Christmas ribbon can be picked up at Dollar Tree for $1.00. It is embossed with gorgeous designs. Make sure to keep in the mind's eye how that ribbon will coordinate with the colors you have chosen to paint your baskets, or leave them natural.

3. Filler ideas:

Edible Ideas: home baked cookies, fudge, breads . . . a pretty mug stuffed with individually wrapped teabags, a pound of good coffee, beef jerky, summer sausage, nuts, chocolate covered pretzels, fruit, etc. Also candies and cookies that you find at a reasonable price such as Target, Tuesday Morning, local dollar stores etc.

Luxury: Bath mitt, bubble bath or oil, loofah sponge, scented soaps, lotions, bath salts (that can be made with epsom salt, and essential oils.)

Kitchen: pot holders, oven mits, homemade cookie mix, dishtowels, etc.

You can also tuck in a farmer's almanac, crossword puzzle books & dictionary, pencils, manual sharpener, a favorite magazine that the recipients would enjoy, but would normally not splurge on for themselves. I found so much pleasure in making or finding items to go in my baskets.

The possibilities are almost endless regarding the themes that can be used . . . gardening, makeup, shut-ins, etc.

Last year when I delivered my baskets to my family members they were surprised, and I could tell that they enjoyed the fact that I had put time into their gifts. I had placed a 2008 farmer's almanac in my oldest brother's basket last year. He said he started to buy one, but saw the cost, and did not . . . so he was obviously pleased. The beautiful baskets were placed in prominent places where family and holiday visitors who dropped by could rummage through the basket, and find some goodies to nibble on. After the holidays, they own a pretty basket that can be used for fruit, etc. next year.

Anyway . . . I hope this helps.

What are some good gift ideas for a pollyanna gift game christmas party?
Q. Some friends and I are having a pollyanna gift giving party/christmas party. We set a $20.00 or more price limit and it's for a group of 14 years old. It's also a mixed party so I need gift ideas for something both girls and guys would like. Thanks !

A. Christmas is the time of year when many families spend more money than they have to create a holiday to remember for their children. With the economy in a downward spiral, saving where you can is important. Christmas is a time of giving, and this is a perfect chance to teach your children to give back.

Giving back

There are many families that are in worse economic shape than you are. Taking the family to a soup kitchen to volunteer during the holiday season will help make it memorable for everyone. It will also help your children appreciate what they have much more.
Thrift and consignment stores

Shopping at thrift stores you can find many items that can be the perfect gift for your child. Most items are gently used and look brand new. You may find the occasional new item that still has the tag on. Starting in these stores is the perfect way to find a multitude of gifts at a fraction of the cost.

Dollar stores

Looking at stores such as the Dollar Store or Five Below you can find some great gifts at a cheap price. Purchasing several of these types of gifts can help fill under the tree and stockings. This can help save money while still making Christmas look plentiful.

Pollyanna

If you have a large family buying many gifts can be daunting. A fantastic way to save money is to do a Pollyanna gift exchange. This is basically putting everyone�s name in a hat and drawing a name of one person to purchase a gift. This will save an enormous amount of money. Instead of buying gifts for ten people you will only be buying for one person.

Cut your gift list

When economic times are good, giving to everyone can make one feel wonderful. Now may be the time to take a look at the list of people you normally give gifts to and decide who you can eliminate from gift giving. This will probably be the hardest part to do as you don�t want to offend anyone. You can choose to give a nice Christmas card instead. In these times it is necessary.

The important thing to remember is Christmas is a time to enjoy your family and appreciate your loved ones. While it may be a challenge for children to understand making a memorable Christmas does not mean you have to spend a lot of money.
