    Default $65 = Christmas Presents For Everyone!

    8 lb. box of chocolates x 4 different kinds = $40.00 (plus tax)
    20 Christmas-esque cookie tins, different shapes and sizes = $15.00 (plus tax)
    Cheap-o paint, wax paper and Christmas color ribbons = $10.00 (plus tax)

    Having Christmas gifts for all of my family, 's family and some extra for any friends and family we might think of between now and Christmas,, averaging $3.25 per gift = priceless

    Go frugal Christmas!

    What a great idea! May I ask where you found the boxes of chocolate? BTW, congrats on getting your Christmas shopping done already!

    The Moirs chocolate factory (people who make Pot of Gold, among others) has two factories here in the city. However, they're moving them to Mexico at the end of the month.

    Sad to hear that they are moving the plants but great for you, getting all that Christmas shopping done! I wish I had mine done, but then I don't have that much to do anyway.

    Great job! I wish we could do something like that. I think everyone will be getting scarves from me.
