Answer
I really like some of your ideas, especially your best friend's and your grandpa's!

Grandma ~ Make her a mix of all her favorite songs, and maybe some cat themed jewelry.
Grandma's sister ~ Give her a cooking-themed gift! Give her a few cookbooks, and buy some wooden spoons and time them up with a colorful ribbon, and maybe get a mason jar and fill it with candy.
Uncle's wife ~ Get her a gift card to some of her favorite stores, and maybe some camera film.
Uncle ~ There are several themed card decks available cheap online, maybe you could find him a deck that he'd like!
Mom ~ Super cute idea! You can also find some very cute DIY gifts on Pinterest, here are a few ideas to get you started... http://idlewife.blogspot.com/2013/02/diy-bath-bombs.html http://thankyourbody.com/natural-body-spray-recipe/ http://www.babble.com/beauty/10-awesome-last-minute-diy-gifts-for-mom/lip-gloss-stain/

Bffs ~ These ideas are good just as they are!
Grandpa ~ Also just as good as it is!

Hope these help, and enjoy!

Question about gifts...cheap or not?




Heather


My Husband and I have 3 young children and have just bought a new house.
I usually spent a lot on people and buy the "best". This yr I have decided that it is about my children and I am not willing to go into debt to please other people.
I have 3 young family members who are all single and live alone... I got them each a $15 Subway gift card and thats it. I feel as though they can stop on the way home from work or something and have the gift card to use.... It is more practical then anything.
"easy" this yr.
What do you think?



Answer
My mother always told me to give cheap gifts that people can use. People will appreciate cheap things they can use more than an expensive one they cannot. Plus, if it is inexpensive, they do not feel "obligated" to get you an equally expensive gift. They just enjoy the fact that you remembered them. Receiving an expensive gift is really a burden. Gift cards are great.
