I know that sounds bad, but here's my situation: I'm a college student, therefor have like no money. I have some pretty good friends and a big family and a boyfriend! I didn't have a job last year, so I just gave everyone cards. How does that sound again? or maybe some homemade recipe cookies? I know I want to buy my mom, boyfriend, sister, and best friend something. But what about everyone else? I don't really expect anything from them and would feel guilty if some other friends or family bought me gifts? I know that Christmas is about a month away, but I want to get everything taken care of as soon as I can. What should I do? What do you all do? What's a good way to please everyone? I like to please everyone and I like to give, I just wish it was more affordable?!

A good Thing to do is to make something and give to them. Don't give the recipe, make the cookies and give them. A cute idea is th buy a large pack of clear ornaments take off the top and fill with potpourri and give 1 each to family and friends. It is not expensive and it means a lot b/c you took the time to make it. Also you can always personalize it.

Don't stress over CHRISTMAS! It's my favorite time of year because you get to spend time with friends and family. I ran into this little situation last year so all my friends and I did Secret Santa's. That took care of 11 people! that way everyone is GUARANTEED a nice gift.
To be quite honest I would use my money to buy my boyfriend a gift and I would pair up with my siblings to buy my parents a nice gift.
Hope that helps.

I have a 5 pound fudge recipe, it goes to everyone, Just take those half, zip lock sandwich bags, put a cheep bow on them, with your card, they will love you, with 5 pounds, you should have some for yourself, its a good one, email me and I will give it to you, Its one awesome recipe.
Only a few pieces is all they need. What is good with this, you can make them up, put them in the freezer, and done deal. Its a easy recipe too, it Cook's in 10 minutes. Your done in 20.

Are u going to your familys for Thanksgiving?
If so why not suggest that everyone draw names this year
and spend $25.00 a person, this way u can spend money
on the ones u need too!

I am sure your family know that you don't have money, so it is ok to give them a card or make them cookies..that is actually a good idea.

That won't really be necessary...
It would even be thoughtful if you'll give them HUGS and KISSES!
That's what I'll do...
Merry Christmas!
