Thrifty & Last-Second Holiday Gifting

So it's the night before The Night Before Christmas...yet you're still rushing to gift everyone? Don't worry, two nights is plenty of time to pull all-nighters making, preparing, or procuring holiday gifts. Here's some ideas:

They adversely affect the waistline, but it's tradition to take in enough calories to nurture love handles the size of logs; embrace it! Baking a huge batch of holiday treats is a great way to gift friends for a low price.



Nope, it's not too late to make something special for your friends and family for the holidays. Try the following websites for amazing last-second holiday crafting ideas:



I'd consider cash a last-ditch effort for friends and family. Kids and young teens who can't work for their own dough may appreciate it, but it's not as thoughtful as a membership, a gift card, or a gift certificate. Consider:

I'll be back on Monday with New Years themed Thrift Core content. (I'm so damn excited about having a day off tomorrow!) I hope everyone has a happy holiday! If you own a shop that offers gift certificates, I'd love it if you left that the shop in the comments to help last-minute shoppers!

    I'm all about the baked goods. Receiving them that is ;) I'm not much of a baker so I always appreciate a nice homemade cookie or brownie or bread or cake or pie or.....

    I believe everything typed made a great deal of sense.
    However, what about this? suppose you typed a catchier post title?
    I ain't suggesting your information isn't good.
    , but suppose you added a title that makes people desire
    more? I mean "Thrifty & Last-Second Holiday Gifting" is kinda plain.
    You could glance at Yahoo's front page and note how they create news headlines to grab viewers to click. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab readers excited about everything've written.
    In my opinion, it might bring your posts a little livelier.
