Confession: I planned VERY poorly and ended up spending way too much on Christmas gifts this year. In fact, I let life get the better of me and ended up doing the bulk of my shopping in the week before Christmas when prices were anything but at their lowest. So, for Christmas 2018, I am...

I can't believe that I'm the only one who has one or two especially difficult people to find gifts for. Thought his thread might be a place where everyone could contribute ideas...

I am so mad I couldn't sleep last night and pacing around the house. My husband is EXTREMELY difficult to shop for. He's very picky about comfort and what he likes. At the same time, he doesn't want much, it's IMPOSSIBLE to get him a gift he will like and use. But I tried, I tried extremely...

Last year I was 'surprised' at holiday time by co-workers, who each had a present for me. (Yikes!) This Friday, I happened to be "in the city" small though it may be, and had a plan in mind before heading to Michael's Craft Store. A few years ago, pearl necklackes interwoven with satin ribbon...

This year my son (age 6) is very into giving his teachers and friends gifts for holidays. Can’t afford that, really. So since I’ve recently become a stay-at-home mom, been looking up craft ideas for holidays. Here’s what we came up with for this Valentine’s Day: Walgreen’s, last week, had...
