I spent more than $5 for each present, but I am so excited about this idea!

We get cookies and other treats from friends and neighbors every year, and we enjoy the hell out of them, but I wanted to reciprocate this year.

I ordered eight vases from Crate and Barrel, $2.50 each plus $4.95 for shipping;

I bought eight bags of clear glass beads from the Dollar Tree;

I ordered 50 stems of live bamboo from Amazon, about $60; and

I ordered one dozen tiny glass pickles from Amazon, $12.95.

Pete helped me set seven stalks of bamboo in each vase, held in place with about one bag of clear glass beads.

We will decorate each vase with one tiny glass pickle tied on with a sparkly red pipe cleaner.

We ended up with seven pretty unique gifts for our friends and neighbors for about $115!
