In fact, I still do the thrift and garage sale thing, as long as the product is in excellent condition.<br/><br/>I'm making a number of my gifts this year, and most the materials are things I already have on hand. And I set a $50 limit for each kid, a lot less than usual. Hey, they all work now and can afford anything they want. My 18-year-old makes more than I do, LOL!

I think it makes the gifts more meaningful when you spend time creating something beautiful for another person. We have been doing a lot of the same things this year.

They both have more than they could ever use. <br/><br/>Before each gift time (birthdays, Christmas, etc) I call my sister and ask if they need anything. If she can't come up with anything, they get a trinket to open and then she gets cash for their savings account.<br/><br/>Money is to hard to waste on things that won't get used.
