Christmas is approching...
Now with the new baby and less income, I have to come up with some more creative ideas for Christmas gifts. I was thinking of giving gift baskets with homemade things in them. I have made homemade gifts before and ended up feeling like I spent about the same amount of money I would have if I had just bought gifts. Any ideas on what to put in the baskets while keeping the cost down?

You could fill canning jars with the dry ingriedents, and then just print little tags to tell them the wet things to add. Saves the time of baking and the hastle of cleanup. Ornaments with your little ones picture are also inexpensive and a great gift.

I would say pictures of that precious new baby (that is what I would want)! You can get frames relatively inexpensive - especially if you catch them 1/2 off like at Hobby Lobby or somewhere. The other suggestions are great too...especially depending on who the gifts are for. Another suggestion for close friends and relatives is a coupon book for things you would be willing to do for them. Nothing better than the gift of time. :-) My DH would say, give them coupons to redeem to hold/babysit the baby! HA! Best wishes. I am doing homemade gifts too.
