After I pay my bills this month I'll have maybe 10 or 20 dollars; If i'm lucky. Any ideas for gifts? The one idea I did last year was baking. I made chocolate,and pb fudge, bark, no bake cookies and something I'm missing I'm sure. Any suggestions are welcome. It isn't looking good for work this month because I have mono and sent my pay stubs to DHS or social security/food stamp place so they'll probly adjust on their estimate of how much i'll make in a month as I already got my adjusted ssi amount for January.

Do you know how to knit or crochet or anything? I think baking is a wonderful idea-- who wouldn't love that? Maybe you can also include the recipe when you bake so that the person you are giving it to can do it themselves if they want. Decorate the recipe card. Make little recipe books of your favorite baked goodies.

Baked goods are always wanted. I agree with the suggestion about including the recipe, maybe write it out nicely on an index card.

I'd go to the library and look at craft/food books specifically for making stuff for gifts?
My nieces and nephews get ornaments for adults; they can be inexpensive (or even made). Little containers from the dollar store and bulk candy? Nice colors/plastic wrap and ribbon to seal each.

Chocolate covered pretzle sticks (the big ones). Melt the chocolate, swirl the stick around in it, and if you want you can add sprinkles or chopped nuts on the chocolate part.
Quick, easy, inexpensive and YUMMMMMMMY |

I've given coupons- You could make up coupons that could be redeemed for things in the future like: a favorite dessert,
one night of babysitting, washing a car, etc I just learned to make sure you put an expiration date on them. |
