Getting thrifty at Christmastime is getting more popular every year. Trying to gift generously on a budget? Use these simple tips to spread cheer.
• Exchange holiday cards with handwritten sentiments reflecting on your relationships throughout the year.
• Invite friends over for a holiday feast complete with candles, a tablecloth, endless pie and carols.
• Hit your local craft store to create some hand-stamped dish towels that can be personalized for the recipient.
• Looking for a group theme? Try mugs. Pick out a mug at your favorite store and stuff it with anything you like; whatever fits is what you give.
