DIY Music CD's are gifts I create for my friends and family every year. My taste in music ranges from 80's to Classic Country to Rock & Roll. I've been making CD's for my friends for years because it's a personal gift...and it's cheap!

You can buy a pack of 10 CD Jewell Cases for $3.99. Blank CD's will run you $8.88 for a pack of 25. You can spend $12.87 in supplies and create 10 gift CDs!

You'll even have CDs left over for birthdays and other holidays. I buy in bulk because it's cheaper.

Music for DIY Holiday CD

I use music I already have to burn my holiday gift CDs. But even when I have to buy music from iTunes, it's only 99 cents per song. iTunes allows you to create 5 copies of a song for private use only.

You might have an Xbox 360.  But do you have the new Xbox Experience?  If you haven't checked out the new operating system for Xbox 360, you should look into it because it's a one-stop family entertainment center.

There are tons of new features but here are a few of the goodies:

You can your play with other gamers all over the world. My teen daughter and my husband were playing HALO the other night with some people from Japan and Mexico.

There are parental controls and safety features. My husband and my kids have been dying to get the upgrade but I wouldn't let them.  After doing some research on the parental controls, they wore me down and I gave in.

Cool avatars and photo sharing. All players have their own avatars, for multi-player online games and you can share photos via the Xbox Live Photo Party.

Movies and TV shows. You can instantly download Netflix movies and TV shows, directly to your Xbox.

A Life Well Read is a reading journal. The journal kit helps you capture ideas and thoughts about books you read. The kit includes:

• 50 pre-printed cards that double as bookmarks
• Dividers to organize the cards
• Gift labels for gift books
• Bookplates

The whole kit is packaged in a book-like box that fits right on a shelf!  Check out A Life Well Read's website for more details but I thought this was a cool idea.

Gifts don't have to cost a fortune! My friends and family love my Holiday Gift Buckets.  These buckets of holiday fun cost around $15 and the people on my list are always pleased.

I recommended The Last Lecture book for a holiday gift. The book is Professor Randy Pausch's last lecture. Dying of cancer, the 46-year-old professor delivered his last lecture, which was uploaded to YouTube. Pausch became famous for the inspirational lecture before he died in July 2008.  I have a short clip about The Last Lecture for you to check out. You won't be sorry.
