Need 50 Small Gift Ideas For 2 Secret Sisters?


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 255 Posts

I need 50 small Christmas ideas for my 2 secret sisters at church. I had the daughter-then her mom moved in with her after it was too late to draw a name for her-so I adopted her also.

I am wanting to get a large gift bag with 25 small gifts in each-one for each day of December. The envelope or small package will have the date on the outside of each so they know what day to open them. I'd like each to have different items-not the same. And they need to be inexpensive. So far I have small candles, pack of gum, mints, small soaps and bath beads. I just need more ideas for little items I can wrap. Thanks

How about some Christmas Chocolates that you make yourself?
Also you could theme a week, like bath beads for one day, a pretty flannel for the next, bubble bath the next etc. So at the end of it all they have a really nice bath collection.

Another inexpensive idea is a notebook filled with favorite recipes. Good luck I hope this helps.

How about putting in a small jar and tell them it is their prayer jar for their most important thoughts and dreams. My girls loved that idea. You could also print up words of encouragement, or make your own stickers on the computer with their return addresses for mailings.

We like to get the magnet paper and print up pictures for friends like college mascots, school emblems, etc.

How about a whisk .79 @ Walmart, with some hershey kisses in it that says "I whisk you a Merry Kissmas". That is fun to give to all of your friends and quite inexpensive.

'stickie pads', magnetic stickers for frig, pot holders and dishrags. Stretch that over 4 days.
Another fun idea is 'will the Christ Child come'. Sporadically give a 'piece of an economical nativity. Make sure you are done with every piece BUT the Christ Child. Then nothing. Somehow give her a wrapped present that says do not open till Christmas and then you can identity yourself as to who you are and it builds anticipation in the receiver. We do it as a family in a 'pixie' ring the doorbell kinda fashion. Great fun.

to include in the mix above, how about things you could do together, as 'coupons' such as "read a story", take a walk, teach to knit or sew on a button, hem pants, ..and maybe do it so that the mother would benefit or could gain confidence via the activities. perhaps something[s] she could do in return?

if you can sew, you could make the headbands with cloth, possibly soft elastic inside or at the back only.
check goodwill or other as well. wednesdays here there is seniors sale of 30% off. you may be surprised at what you can find there. happy holidays to you.
depending on weather, gloves, socks are nice

How about things for pampering - small bottles of nail polish, nail polish remover, nail files, lotions for hands and feet, individual facial masks, chapstick or lip gloss, notecards you can make yourself (if you are crafty), think stocking stuffers. Good luck! :)

Free samples!!! Visit stores that give out free samples of hand lotions, face creams, soaps, etc. Warehouse-type stores also give out samples this time of year (I got samples of paper towels and moist towelettes from Sam's Club last weekend) Also the Avon/Mary Kay lady in your area may have some discontinued or overstocked items they would be willing to give you. And if you do the same thing next year, start now by getting free samples from the internet. I visit Wal-Mart's website twice a month and have samples sent to me throughout the year. You can find it under the tab "In Stores Now" and you should see a box with "Free Samples". Last year I made my sister a placemat tote and filled it with samples of shampoo, lotion, hand creams, tea, coffee, lip balm, knee-hi pantyhose, ArmorAll Glas Wipes - all kinds of stuff!! She loved it and it only cost me the price of the placemat and embellishments which totaled $3. Now THAT is Thrifty !! Enjoy and God Bless you and yours this Holiday Season.

My Mom makes the BEST ever hand cream. It's very inexpensive and works so well that we have had doctors and nurses ask us to make it for them. We buy everything at one of the local dollar stores. Combine 1 bottle baby lotion, 1 jar vitamin E cream, and 1 bottle "creamy" vasaline. Use a plastic bowl that you will never use for anything else. Mix well. Spoon into clean, small plastic containers with air-tight lids. We also buy these at the dollar store, 6 for $1. Tie a pretty ribbon around container and lable it "World's best hand cream" This stuff is great for dry skin anywhere and does wonders for sore cracked heels and feet! Merry Christmas!
