Carbo Needs Sweet, Inexpensive, and Easy Gift Ideas

sir_carbo · 11-30-2007, 10:07 PM

I am really really poor and I do not have a job so my Christmas shopping this year pretty much comes down to price. I have a budget of $39. At the very least I want 4 meaningful gifts; I should have 9 gifts in total, though.

I'd be willing to spend at least a little bit of time on each gift, especially at least two of them, so I'm going to do homemade stuff.

The problem is, however, I can't do that for every gift. While I'd love to crochet everybody a hat or make 9 kick ass paintings (I have all the acrylic paint I would ever need btw), I simply do not have the time.

I could Google for some ideas but that would take awhile as I already looked through a few results and I do not like any of them. So out of laziness I ask you to give me good suggestions for Christmas gift ideas that are cheap and awesome and are not too time consuming. Oh, and try to make them as unique as possible. That is definitely a plus.

So just give me some ideas and I'll decide from there.

www.instructables.com has some cool stuff that you can build for really cheap. Surely a few of them could make some awesome Christmas gifts.

This is why you stay in school, kids.

Do you have any Michaels' Art Supply stores by you? They have a crapload of stuff and it is relatively inexpensive. You can make pretty things for everything.

That's what I'd use to buy stuff. Ideas are the problem, however.

Seems like a good site.

Chocolate? :P

It fits the description. Sweet, cheap, inexpensive and easy. Of course making something would be more loving, but if it's 2 days before the big day and you're out of ideas/time, then pop to the supermarket and pick up a box or 5

Chocolate maybe not, but small tins of cookies would definitely work. Thanks.

5$ gift cards to people.

WAIT. FFR Suscriptions.

Jars filled with cookie mix, they're awesome.

All they need usually is butter and eggs, mix and then you have cookies yay!

I recommend these.
