Bonnie,
I sure hope you get that stove!

The coupon binder and lessons is a great idea. I think you just inspired a new blog post.

I asked for a new stove for Christmas since we are in desperate need of one, nothing would make me happier. If you have a friend or relative that seems interested in couponing/saving money or has just started, a coupon binder and some lessons would be a great gift!

A few years ago we stopped exchanging names with extended family as it got expensive to buy & ship (and hard to know what each one wanted as they got older). That being said, we started a Gift Exchange tradition with the one family of Uncle/Aunt/Cousins that live nearby… we each bring one item that we think several people would like, then we draw numbers, open in order, “steal” from each other, etc and it always makes for good memories. Since most of us are grown now, with our wireless computer mice, TV remotes, cameras etc., I opted for a set of rechargeable batteries as one of the gifts that my hubby and I bring in. And I’ll be totally happy if we end up with it, too

I am doing a homemade Christmas as well as regifting. I am giving my daughter my pink Zune (since I have the Zune Pass with music on it) with the stereo, my son will be getting one of our old computers (since he wants one). The rest of the family are getting cheap DVD’s I know they want as well as homemade ornaments.

Grocery or gas gift cards are great for those trying to save money. When you don’t have to worry about paying for the necessities it makes life easier!

Karina- Thanks for the tip on the CFLs. I did know know about the 15 minute rule. I was aware of the disposal issues, and I know that Walmart and Home Depot accept them for recycling.

The socks are a great idea! $25 for one pair? Ouch. I am sure your grandmother will appreciate the kind gift.
