Divide Plants for Frugal Holiday Gifts
I have too many people on my Christmas list and not enough money. This year I've planted my spider plant babies into decorative coffee mugs and some into old glass pedestal candle holders, and adored with homemade bows and candy canes.
Here are some frugal and funny gift ideas. You can do this with a box of microwave popcorn, write, "May your Christmas be poppin".
Inexpensive But Thoughtful Gifts
Here are a few of my ideas for inexpensive but thoughtful gifts.
Christmas Gifts Ideas for Convalescent Home Residents
I'm doing a Christmas show for a local convalescent home. I'm looking at having small presents for the 50 - 75 residents of the convalescent home. Any suggestions?
Craft: Frame Calendar Pictures
Want some inexpensive picture frames for your decor, but don't want the expense? Save your calendars and select florals, scenes, etc. to accommodate your living decor. You may have to crop and cut them to fit behind the 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 inch opening mattes.

Frugal Christmas Gift for Boyfriend

Craft: Elegant Clamp Jar For Gift Giving
My daughter and I found a whole box of these clamp jars at a yard sale this summer and thought they would be perfect for Christmas so we put them away. She had the idea that she would fill them with candy or nuts for her in-laws, since her father in law loves honey roasted peanuts.
