The $5 Gift Thread!

Sweet Bliss · 12-18-2015, 06:32 PM

I make my gifts, crocheted pot holders, about 2.50 each. (cotton yarn)

French Press cozy, fabric scraps and leftover insulation (high tech) free

handpainted terracotta pots, under 2 bucks, paint myself, already have paint.

beaded key chains, have huge supply of various beads, free

Xmas Angels, buy used Barbie at yard sales, under a dollar usually, clean and make fancy ball gown, fix hair, use costume jewelry from yard sales, almost free, lol, beads, sequins, whatever I have around at the time

TV dinners, homemade Nana meals for busy peeps, always a hit

jar of cookie mixes, receiver just adds eggs and sometimes butter, another big hit for peeps who can not follow recipe or bake, no brainer.

popcorn spice mixes, I make hot, spicy and a sweet mix to put on hot buttered popcorn, great for singles or peeps with kids.

Dog kookies, cat treats, find recipes online. great for pet owners.

Need more ideas? gimme a holler!
