I have some folks to buy for that have just about everything they could ever need or want, but still they are beloved friends and I want to send some holiday cheer their way. I am working with a limited holiday budget. Got any suggestions?

I have several ideas - the first is a simple bottle of wine. You can usually find a nice brand for under $30. Or how about a wine basket that comes with cheese, crackers and fruit? These might run more in the lines of $60, but they are always attractive and make a great presentation. Or you can get them a gift card to their favorite restaurant or the newest hotspot. Good luck!!!

If you are creative in anyway, making them something always gets rich people, because they usually have plenty of money, but no time. A gift that requires much time of the giver is something they never give and almost never get. If it is quality, like something they would buy, but made by you, this always impresses rich people, yet costs yoiu no money, or very little, if you do it right.

Make them Christmas Stockings, you can find patterns on line and make them with felt and embellish or buy premade stockings and embellish. The best part about stockings is the fun sometimes silly gifts you put in them. Candy, Matchbox car toy of his favorite car, crayons and a Barbie coloring book just like when you were kids, stuffed animals, bubbles. They don't have to be big or overstuffed with gifts. Stockings are fun!
I also LOVE gifts to me for my puppy. Doggie toys, new brush, wipes for when they get stinky, doggie blanket and treats. You can make your own or buy some from the pet store, even some bakery's make doggie treats. Einstein bagels makes bagels for dogs.

My husband and I are not rich, but we are fairly comfortable. The things that we treasure the most are those that are made with your own hands. I received a pair of inexpensive lamps ten years ago and I treasure them because the person who gave them to me, took the time to decorate the lamps herself. She died recently and I treasure the lamps even more.
Anyone can give you money or a store bought gift, but a gift from the heart is one that is truly thought about. One made with your own hands says more than you can know.

A nice holiday card with some candles and chocolate. It's the thought that counts.

A bible! They need to know the truth about how hard it is to go to heaven when you are rich. The eye of the needle...it is easier for a camel, than a rich person to go through the eye of a needle.

They have enough stuff, so make them a memory (the zoo, a wonderful picnic somewhere) Do you have any artistic talent? If so, you could photograph them and do something fun with it. You could also cook for them or invite them over to play or learn a new game (e.g. like 42!)

Ask them what they feel is missing in their lives. You can bet it will be something that can't be 'bought'.
See what you can do then as a special christmas present. You might be surprised how many riches you have to offer.
