They're the only "kids" left in either of our families, so I've been buying things here and there to use as stocking stuffers and such (got free crayons and markers from Walgreens last week after rebate...makes a great gift for a 4 year old who loves to color!) I like your extra check idea, although with money as tight as it is for us right now, that doesn't work because of the way i have things laid out with only one income. if we were living within our means, it would work perfectly! however, a lot of our income goes towards paying off debt. i need to start shopping. although, since i lost my job, christmas will be extra tight this year. i’m thinking of doing some homemade canning (a new hobby of mine) and making jams and preserves and dill pickles. then i’ll make cookies and stuff right before the holiday and put together gift baskets for my husband’s family and my family. it’s the thought that counts, right?
