Our Christmas gift budget was always under $100 total every year. The girls got one gift they really wanted (we didn't do "Santa", so the girls made their requests sometime early in the year and I watched for sales, garage sales, and thrift store finds), and they really looked forward to those stockings. Also - Heiffer International is an excellent charity to give to, a gift that will hopefully give for years.

But each week I've been making pumpkin bread to freeze and give out in December. I hope the added benefit is that the receivers don't have to deal with yet another knick knack cluttering their house.
