Christmas Seasoned
Thursday Thirteen #3
1. For the kitchen connoisseur, line a mesh basket with a brightly colored dishtowel. Add a variety of bottled spices from the dollar store.
2. Most popular CDs cost less than $20. Buy one or purchase a gift certificate for one at your local music store. This gift will be a hit for all ages.
3. How about a restaurant or coffee shop gift certificate?
4. Gift the gift of your time. Books of "certificates" that can be redeemed for an evening of babysitting, a home-cooked meal, a favorite baked treat, a massage, "taxi service", etc. make thoughtful gifts that are appreciated by all.
5. Traditional play is all the rage. Give a family a board game, a basketball or football, or a badminton set.
6. Give an aspiring writer (or teen!) a handsome journal and a classic pen.
7. A pound of coffee from a gourmet coffee shop or packs of hot chocolate mix and two mugs from the dollar store make a great gift for any couple to wake up to.
8. Give the gift of good luck. Fill a velvet pouch with a deck of playing cards, some dice, and a half-dozen lottery scratch tickets for a present with earning potential.
9. For the gardener in your life, buy a terra cotta plant pot. Fill with a small trowel, gardening gloves, seed packets, and plant food.
10. For the bird watcher, you can buy an inexpensive but attractive bird feeder at any department store, include a small bag of seed or a suet block.
11. Give a letter-writing grandmother or college student a selection of pretty notecards, a pen, and a book of stamps.
12. Indulge a chocolate lover with the best of the best. Excellent quality chocolates can be purchased for less than $20.
13. For child or adult, department store sets of hats and gloves or mitts and scarves can be found for less than $20. As well, many craft shows and fairs sell homemade mittens, etc. for ridiculously low prices.
