I have 4 roommates all around the age of 20. I'm really broke this Christmas, but still want to get them something. So I'm looking for cheap ideas of stuff to make.For example, one roommate already told us she's making us these bags filled with corn kernels (I think) and u can heat them up in the microwave and they stay warm. So something like that. I can do basic sewing, crocheting, and can cook. Thanks for the help.
Answer
I'd make little personalized gifts for each one. Try making gift baskets with candy, fruit and maybe a small gift card to Starbucks for each one. Or if you'd prefer to sew, you could make a bag and put the gifts in there. You can also substitute your own baking for the candy to save more money. Just try and create a color scheme for each basket so it looks like a unified product at the end. If you choose the right pieces, the final result can look a lot more expensive than the individual pieces.
If you need inspiration, try looking at some online gift basket sites. I've bought a lot of items from Yossi's Sweet House - http://www.yossissweethouse.com - and they're really great. Even if you can't afford to buy gifts from them, you can still get design ideas from there.

Xmas gift ideas--boyfriend, age 23?
should be
I need LOTS of gift ideas for my boyfriend, 23. We've been dating almost 4 years now. I'm looking for something in the $50-$100 range. He likes to fish, golf and watch college football (buckeye fan) but he's really hard to buy for. He's got a lot of stuff...can't think of anything that he "wants" so what do you get someone who has "everything?"
* while the sentiment is noted, no sexual favors should be given as "gifts"...aren't those expected? haha ;)
