I want to make all my christmas gifts this year, not for financial reasons but because I want to give meaningful christmas gifts. I was thinking of making all the women jewelry in their favorite colors. Is there any other ideas? Also, what are some crafty christmas gifts for men?


Answer
Bake them some sweets. Everyone appreciates food, and it's homemade.

I do like the jewelry idea, although that can get extremely expensive.

What are some inexpensive gifts that I can buy for my friends?

I have 20 people I want to buy christmas gifts for. There are 2 teenage boys, 2 adult men, 12 teenage girls, and 3 adult women. I want to buy some inexpensive gifts for them that are thoughtful also :) I was thinking bath and body works lotions for the girls, but that was my only idea.
Any more ideas?
Thank you!

Beat sugar, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat well. Stir in flour mixture and oats.

Drop by level tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until crisp. Cool on pan 2 to 3 minutes or until firm. Remove cookies from pan; cool on wire racks.
