I just purchased this great big book full of all sorts of goodies. It has a lot of wonderful recipes to make or to give as gifts in the unmade form. It has crafts andholiday decor instructions and templates. It even has quotes from famous and not so famous authors. It is a feast for the eyes. I have been looking at it for a month trying to justify buying it. It was $26.95, so not chump change by any means. Well I broke down and bought it and got 10% off. It's something right? Yeah, that's what I kept telling myself, anyway.
I sat down and paged through it yesterday for over an hour. I need to go through it again with a post-it note pad in hand to tag each page I want to use a recipe from or a gift idea.
Okay now for the gifts under $30.So I sat here a few weeks ago trying to comprise a gift list to help with ideas for those on your list. I came up with 3 categories. $10. and under, $20. and under, $30. and under. I figure if you have more than that to spend on one gift, you probably already have something in mind. So here's the list:

Hi Tammy
ReplyDeleteThat book is wonderful. I will have to look out for it.
I found your gift suggestions very useful. I have to buy a gift for a work colleague in our Secret Santa. Do you do Secret Santa in the US?
It's fffrrreeeeeeeeezing here today. It was minus 2 inside my car on the way home from work today.

Look at your gorgeous blog! All decked out for the holidays - it's just fabulous!! I love the little ho-ho-ho tags on the sides, too sweet!
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds wonderful and I'm with you, have to have a stack of post-its near by to tag all those pages I want to return to later.
Oh, the winery was exquisite and the wine delicious, I now know why you paid it a visit, such delicious tastes from grapes.
Hope you have a beautiful week my dear friend♥
What a fantastic organized list!! Thanks Tammy.
ReplyDeleteThis year I'm keeping things sane and simple. Everyone on my list will be receiving art (mine) or food gifts.
Tammy, this list really gets me thinking. Something I need to do when it concerns giving meaningful/special gifts that don't cost a fortune!
