Well, the Happy Hubby and I were looking at our bank account and then looking at the calendar (which clearly told us it was Christmas time) and we realized that unless Saint Nicholas drops a bag of gold through our window, we are going to have to be very frugally-minded this year with gifts. š
Is anyone else in the same boat??
But, thanks to the many creative bloggers out there, it can be done – without sacrificing cute factor or use factor!
Here are some of my favorites (with links to even MORE great ideas)…
