Some Frugal Christmas Gag Gifts

These make for a nice stocking stuffer, or a great Christmas gift for the various adults on your list- something to hand out at the office, or to friends, extended family, etc.

I found these at http://www.budget101.com/gaggifts.htm#Christmas_Gag_Gifts

Grinch Poop-

Fill a small baggie with Green M&M's (for variety, try a mix of plain, peanut, crispy, and peanut butter- you'll get a variety of sizes), or green jelly belly's.

Tie with a ribbon, and attach the following poem:

The Grinch went down to Who-Ville
and loaded up his sleigh.
He couldn't resist the yummy smells,
and sampled along the way.
His tummy started to rumble,
then it began to shout.
Just when he thought he might explode,
he blasted these mighty "toots" out.

Reindeer Poop-

Fill a small baggie with raisinettes, sugar baby candies, brown M & M's or brown jelly belly candies. Add the following poem:

"I woke up with such a scare when I heard Santa call...
"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!
I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts,
those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts".
I got an old shovel and started to scoop
neat little piles of "reindeer poop".
But to throw them away, seemed such a waste,
So I saved them, thinking ~ you might like a taste!
As I finished my task, which took quite awhile,
Old Santa passed by and he sheepishly smiled.
And I heard him exclaim as he rose in the sky ~
"Well, they're not potty trained, but at least they can fly!"

Snowman Poop-

Fill a baggie with mini-marshmallows, white whoppers, or white jelly beans. Attach the following poem:

Santa looked at his list,
Even checked it twice.
And he has seen that you
have not been very nice.
Since coal's so expensive,
Here's the scoop,
Santa's filling your stocking
with SNOWMAN'S POOP!

The Perfect Man-

Make a batch of Gingerbread cookies, cut into the traditional Gingerbread Man shape. Wrap in a baggie, and attach the following poem:

He's quiet, he's sweet,
And if he gives you any trouble,
You can bite his head off!

Santa Key- this is a good one to give out to children before Christmas Eve

Find an old style key (skeleton keys work great, and can be found in decorative versions at craft stores), and tie a nice wide satin ribbon to it, to hang it from. Attach the following poem:

Dear Santa,
We don't have a chimney and
I was worried as could be
About how you'd bring the
presents to my family and me.
But now I've solved the problem
And I'm not sad anymore,
For hanging from this ribbon
Is the key to our front door.
Hugs + Kisses + Love from me

I hope these come in handy this year!
