Well...I'm almost done w/our christmas shopping. Our list wasn't long to begin with. I can't believe the great deals you find in the 99 cent store. (I know some of them sell junk).
I got this idea from a poster on this board. Sorry i don't remember the name.
However, i bought my sister three scented candles for $3.00. I wrapped it with cellophane wrap and tie it with christmas ribbon (both which i had at home.) My 13 year old niece, I bought her scented (the scent i know she likes) body wash and lotion and two bath sponges for $3.00. I also wrapped it with cellophane wrap and tied it with christmas ribbon. For my 6 year old niece, I bought her a pack of hair accessories, a pack of colored #2 pencils, a doodle pad and a package with a box of crayons, a coloring book and an activity book for $4.00. I placed that in a christmas bag (which i had saved from last year). For my husband's best friend, I bought shaving cream, after-shave lotion and gel, and a pack of razors. I placed it all in a wicker basket and wrapped it with cellopane wrap and tied it with a christmas ribbon. His present only cost $5.00. For my husband's best friend's wife, I bought the same thing that I bought for my 13 year old niece. I also bought three christmas bags for 99 cents. In total with tax, I spent a little over $20 on 5 people.
I still have to buy my DD, DS, my husband and my mother. However, I won't be buying their presents in the 99 cent store.

Thanks mattsgirl,
I showed them to my husband already wrapped. He priced them between $$15-$20 each. I am very happy with the outcome. And I don't feel cheap.
