Since your budget seems willing to spend a little. Here is a great idea. Since you have created your list. Look in your photo albums and find your favorite (nice) picture of you and your friend (each of them or you all as a group). Go have copies made and buy frames for them. Take the time to hand write out what made you pick that friend and that picture. It will make the reciever appreciate your friendship knowing that you think the world of them. Put the nice picture in a box and wrap it up with bows and ribbon. It will be a unique gift. Or you could scrapbook them a page and frame it of your fav. times together. Good luck and Merry Christmas

Christmas is so commercialized, that it makes those without the means to buy gifts feel guilty and inferior. However, those that are close to you and know your situation will understand. You might consider inviting them over for some appetizers and play some board games. You can have fun without spending a lot of money and after all, that is what Christmas is about, sharing time with friends and family.

A great gift to give is a gift certificate for a manicure or pedicure $20 or a little less and almost all girls love them, now for the guys get the comedy or action DVDs include gift receipts in case they already have the movie or a movie card you buy them at the movie theater I think you can put any amount you want on them.

I would go to a dollar store and buy 10 baskets for $1.00=$10.00. Then I would put things in there that I know they would like since they are all into different things. Buy some cellophane paper and wrap with a beautiful bow. They can later use the basket for stuff.
Example: 1.Glamour girl- put makeup items, lipstick, eyeshadow, makeup sponges, etc.
2. Hair girl- barettes, hair gel, nice brush, etc.
3. Nail girl- heating lamp, nail polish, emory board, etc.
4. Baking girl- towels, pot holders, rolling pen, cookie cutter
5. Body girl- lotions, bath gels, bath salts, a loomfa sponge.
6. Party girl- liquor bottle, flask, peanuts, a nice glass, etc.
7. Serious girl- good book, crossword puzzles, nice pen set.
8. Healthy girl- tea cup, several different boxes of tea, some cookies.
9. religious girl- an angel brooch, a scarf for church, maybe a cross book marker, a guardian angel car pin.
10. Movie girl- a movie dvd, gift certificate to the movies, popcorn bags, sodas...
or you can give them each a gift certificate to their favorite restaraunt and give it to them in a nice Christmas card.

To save you all some money...get all your friends together and pull names out of a bag. This way you all only by one gift. You all get together again to exchange the gifts at the same time and make a party out of it. You can raise the cost of the gift to say..$50.00 and everybody has a Merry Christmas!

This year I went to a craft store and bought a make-your-own-earrings kit for $7. It had all the supplies and directions to make 7 pairs of beaded chandalier type earrings. All I needed was a pair of needle nose pliers, which I borrowed. Sounds really cheap in a too good to be true kind of way, but they came out really cute and I almost wanted to keep them for myself. Happy holidays!

Well I myself is on a budget also, I found that burned or homemade CDS, DVDs are always good! There are alot of cheap video games if they like that, or even $10 gift certificates from different stores and places.

Years ago, when I was in nursing school and raising a baby, alone, I had NO MONEY for gifts one Christmas. I finally came up with an idea that they all appreciated. I gave each an envelope reminding them that times were lean for me, so I was giving them this special gift. To my Aunts and Uncles with small children, I gave free babysitting for a week-end. To my mother, I gave a complete cleaning of her bathrooms and bedrooms, including window. To my Dad, I gave mowing his lawn, ONCE, and letting him have "first choice", whenever my mother cooked fried chicken for a year. They all loved their gifts and it was a Christmas we all will never forget.

Every year I give my co-workers some mini stockings, about the size of your hand. You can buy a bunch for $1 each at Walgreen's or Target. Then buy some bags of different kinds of candy that they like, like Hershy's kisses and small candy canes and gumdrops, and stuff the stockings. Sometimes I can find thumb-sized knicknacks like little nutcrackers for $1.50 each. Then I give the stockings to everyone.
Always a hit!

Personally gifts that were made by the giver have always meant the most to me.
I still have a painting my Nephew made me hanging in my hallway.
Some may have seen better, but it's a masterpiece to me.
