Gift Ideas for Secret Pal

**slowtypinwoman** · 12-04-2006, 01:54 PM

We have secret pals at work for the whole year. This month they want us to do the 12 days of Christmas starting with St. Nick Day. They don't have to be large gift, just something small to help bring a smile to that person's day. I don't want to give her any jewelry as she knows I make it and it is supposed to be a secret until May who I am. As a matter of fack I have not gotten anything for her at shows becaus e she knows I do them and is verry supportive of me at them.
When I went shopping the other day I picked up a few bargains but need a few more ideas Here is what I have so far. I'd like to keep the whole thing under $15 if I can. I'll list the prices that I have spent so far.

~ fuzzy socks from Target $2.50
~candle from Lowes $2
~ small bath set that someone gave me years ago We don't have a bathtub so I'm regifting $0
~ I made a Christmas popper from a tp tube and filled with small things I had. candy, erasers, stamps ect. I could do this a couple more times if I needed to.
~ thought I'd pick up a scratcher ticket
~ thought I'd buy a pop to put in her box at school
~ giant candybar Walgreens $.99

Ok Gals that is all I have so far. I need 5 more things all for under $10. I know I can count on all of you for ideas.
