| Friendship Gift Basket for a Faraway Friend
|
|
This is an idea I came up with for a friend, it could cost under $10 depending where you get your items. It would be best for a close friend who does not live in the same city as you do! You can also do it for a partner who is away for a long period of time. Just attach a list like this one below to explain each item.

| First Apartment Gift
|
|
When my son moved into his first apartment, my gift to him was a box full of things he would need, but not necessarily think of getting. Simple things like napkins, paper towels, dish and laundry detergent, scouring pads, pot holders.

| Coke Cart For Secret Pal
|
|
At work we have a Secret Pal. Mine is big into Coke Cola products. This year, I went to the Goodwill and found an old maid's cart with wheels. I sanded (very little) the old paint and rough spots, painted it white (left over-non leaded paint).

| Give Consumables To Older Friends or Relatives
|
|
If you are wondering what to give older friends/relatives for the holidays, here is an idea: Consumable gifts are always welcome since seniors do not want to get things that will end up collecting dust or ending up in a yard sale!

|
|
Just had a lovely but frugal birthday. One of my gifts was a set of Baroque classical records in great condition. The music is lovely, and there was a beautiful illustrated booklet about the music and the times.

| Gifts For Returning Friends And Family
|
|
This is a tip if you have a neighbor or friend who's been away from home for a long time. A nice gift to have for them upon their arrival home is a few of grocery items to hold them over for a few days.

| Make Sure A Gift Of Wine Will Be Appreciated
|
|
Neither my husband nor I are wine drinkers, but on 5 different occasions, we've been given bottles of wine, as gifts. Before assuming everyone drinks wine, it's better to ask and make sure.

| End of School Year Gift Ideas
|
|
I'm trying to think of new teacher, teacher's aide, and bus driver gifts to give at the end of the school year. My child has had some of these same people helping her out for a number of years, so I've used up many of my old standby ideas already.
