about

Hey Everyone :) I'm Kate and a level 2 mod on here. I've had this account since July 2004, so I've been on here since I was 13! Wow ... crazy for me to think how long ago that was. I will admit I don't check in as often as I once did, but being away at college, being in a sorority, and having a job when I'm not at school is very time consuming. I still try to help out as much as possible, and if you send me a question I WILL answer it. This site helped me a LOT when I was in high school and had a lot of questions, and I'm here to help anyone who needs it :) Feel free to write in my forum or send me a question any time!

advice

Ok so I have no idea what to get everyone for christmas! The age range im shopping for is anywhere between 11-my parents. Does anyone has any idea what to get somebody???

For people who I am friend with, but not close enough to spend a lot of money on, I buy them a bunch of candy and a small gift.

Usually I'll go someplace cheap like wal-mart or the dollar store and buy around $20-30$ worth of different bags of individually wrapped candies. Then, depending on how many friends I plan on giving candy to, I buy that many mini-bags (or I decorate brown paper lunch bags). I divide up the candy so everybody gets the same amount of each candy. Then I make sure to put at least one pack of gum in each bag (even if it's those 5-piece packs that you can get in groups of 10 or so).
I also try to buy them each something individualized such as a beanie baby or something cute.
It's a fun gift that everyone likes (who doesn't like candy?!), and it's not too expensive, either.

As for family and close friends, you should know what they like!
If you don't have much money, you can make them scrapbooks with pictures of you together. You can also make them a coupon book of 12 coupons - one for everyone month of the year. Offer 12 services. Such as, if you have a neighbor with a child, you can offer them 2 hours of free babysitting or something. You can offer your parents one day of cleaning the house, one day of you cooking a meal, etc.

Good luck with your presents!
