At Walmart, I get the Limited Edition Holiday Scents air fresheners or candles and wrap them up in colored cellophane with pretty ribbon brought from Michael's for a dollar. That gift is $3.00 each.
From Marshall's, I get the big bar of French Milled soap in nice craft wrapping. I spend $4.00 for those wrapped in netting.
Target is the cheapest, $1.00 fashion gloves with $1.00 lip balm - $2 for a gift. I spend about $60 bucks on co-workers, distant family members, church members, and those last minute host gifts and I'm covered.

Love this tip! Maybe my gift-exchange item for my local NFB won't bomb next year, like the $1 "Jesus is the Reason" lapel pins did a few years back. I have another thought: pawn shops often have classic movies for a couple of bucks each. I need to ask my former classmate if he ever gets copies of them.
