Here are a couple of sites I wanted to share that offer some excellent gift-giving ideas, that don't cost too much, and also make for good conversation pieces:

Thanks

Sounds neat. Yes, we are definitely cutting back on spending this year for the holidays. Still not sure how we're going to cover everything but there's no way we can spend a lot and pay our bills. Christmas should not be something to get in over your head for.

I am going to save these sites and get back to them. We join with many in our country and our world who are rethinking the gifting process. We do not have the capability nor should we choose debt at this time. The holidays will be lovely and filled with good will.

Thanks for all the great site links Gail.
Not knowing what's coming around the corner next year, economy wise, these will defnitely be worth looking into!

Thanks for providing those links.
I'm searching for things for Christmas 2009,
so I'm checking out as many ideas as I can.

Thanks for these. I've never heard of any of them.

Would you believe I've already bought gifts for Christmas this year!! I'm watching for excellent deals so that by the time December rolls around I'll be finished. I bought a great painting for my sister for only $3.50 two weeks ago. It was reduced.

All of these are great sites! Don't forget about freecycle.com where you can get new and used items for free! Just go to the main site and then find your local group from there. thanks again for posting this one!
