No Money For Christmas
My partner and I have a mortgage and a cat and although we have two jobs, because of various problems with our flat, we have very little money this Christmas.
Of course, our families and friends understand and keep telling us not to spend much money but that's really hard for me, especially because I always take Christmas as the one opportunity to really spoil everyone and splash out on them and it really breaks my heart that I can't do that this year. Instead, I'm limited to around £20 per person. Not much.
So instead, I was looking for alternative ideas. Is there anything I could perhaps make for the people I care about? Something that's quite easy but would mean a lot? We have craft stores near where I live so I can get supplies but I'm not creative so please, any ideas would be great.

Maybe give some free advice about: Personal Finance?
A christmas picture of the two of you nicely framed or put in a card, Bake cookies, make candies(or buy them) and get some pretty tins and make a gift tower, get three sizes of tins to stack fill them with 3 different goodies and wrap a pretty ribbon from the bottom to the top.They sell things like these in the stores and they can be quite expensive. Just remember these are the holidays and it is a time for family and love, not so much about how much money you spend.
This can be about a $15 project. Hunt the everythings a dollar store if you have one.
Hope I helped and happy holidays.
