Homemade Gifts

Our daughter gives small containers of a "mix" to friends for Christmas. It's a combination of cashews, Christmas M&Ms, peanut butter chips, and raisins. The salty and the sweet concoction is popular.

We enjoyed our tin of the goodies while watching football game after football game this week.

When I was enjoying my "Christmas gift" day with my best friend on Tuesday, we hit the lottery at a Dollar Tree store. The sign said 50% off Christmas items.

Let's see. The math is 1/2 off $1. That's right 50 cents each! My friend loaded up on small baskets that are just the right size for the goodies she gives and I picked up a dozen tins and jars for Marney in different sizes.

Small investments toward next year's gift costs.

'til later
