A vintage Christmas record:
Usually under $1 each, Christmas records
are fun and kitschy yet rather practical. Older people will appreciate them as they're sure to make them feel all warm and fuzzy and nostalgic. Younger folks will be thrilled to add another record to their collection and children... well, they probably don't even know what a record is, so don't bother. Where to find records? I can bet money that you WILL find one in the record bin at any thrift store. Be sure to check the record for scratches before you buy!!

How happy would you be if someone gave you an entire cake as a gift?
Yeah, spread the happiness! Bake a cake or pie or if you don't have enough time or the skills, just pop down to a bakery and pick up some goodies. The chocolate bundt cakes
at my local Walmart are only $6 and dang they're delicious! Make sure to add a pretty bow!

These are all really great ideas! My daughter who is 18 thinks records are so cool and "vintage." Lol! And the limited edition foods is great because I could just pick those up at the grocery store and put them in a basket I already have. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteThese are really great ideas! And it is nice to give unique gift as well. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteWe love old records! Especially at Christmastime. :) But who can resist an old Johnny Cash album?
ReplyDeleteI like making cookies and bread for Christmas gifts (and cheeseballs, can't forget the cheeseballs but they aren't exactly cheap to make.) But hubby always gets a bag of coffee in his stocking, and we give a fair number of inexpensive bottles of wine too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful ideas! I can always use last-minute gift ideas.
