If you don't like the ideas then move on and find something you do like. Christmas isn't all about who can give the best gift, it is about sharing joy with loved ones and friends! I feel sorry for those of you who have forgotten that! Janet, you have done a wonderful job and I love your ideas! As you stated yourself, some of them are a bit corny, but some of them are really cute! People just need to learn to appreciate joy, humor and the fact that someone even cares enough to give a gift!

The brownies weren't baked so that the family receiving them could make them when it was convenient for them, maybe past the Holidays when they weren't already receiving so many treats. We tried to buy as many things as we could so that more families could 'win'. Young children really love to receive gifts, even if they are small and not beautifully packaged. I'd love to hear your creative ideas on gifts under $2. Maybe we can use them next time. :)Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16366544476512817102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119171558044812394.post-3299560160474469152012-12-10T18:10:50.188-07:002012-12-10T18:10:50.188-07:00I'm with the other anonymous comment or - how ...I'm with the other anonymous comment or - how awful! Your giving me generic grocery items? Wrapped in tacky plastic? At LEAST Go to enough effort to put it in a jar to make it look cute instead of just a box of brownies. Or maybe even, I don't know - bake them? Maybe as gag gifts at a white elephant it would work, but if this was a legit gift exchange - no way! There are more creative things to do with two dollars than to re- wrap junk food.
