I like to give away the candles along with shower gels and lotions (frutopia is .50 after RIB coupon this week), or with coffee and tea baskets (wrapped separately in cellophane). I also mix coffee/tea with chocolates, snacks, crackers, and homemade mixes or snacks. When I do men's baskets, I include the shower gels, razors, shaving creams, and then try to find clearance yard/car items that are sometimes still kicking around.

The Viologie Shampoo is $.50, and would make a nice addition to a gift basket. On sale 2/$5; CVS CRT $2 or the CVS $2 RIB Mag

Good thread idea madmurphy! ![]() If we have any decent moneymaker scenarios we could use the additional ecbs to buy gifts. If Thanksgiving Day sale is anything like last year with a ton of free after extrabucks deals and moneymakers if you use mfr. coupons we should do okay. Remember the small appliances? Something like that would make a nice gift. Especially with the new $5/30 Medicare quiz coupon (kreed posted the link, thank you kreed ) assuming the $5/30 coupon will still be available for printing around 11/14 (to leave us a 2 week exp. date to catch the TGD/BF sale at CVS).

Yeah, those free chocolates...? They are hardly surviving couole days in this house. LOL I have chocolate emergencies... You know? Err, how 'bout some glucouce monitors for Christmas present instead? LOL I did find some toys in clearance shelf today. Foam robot making kit $2.50 Coloring book and market set around $1.25 Toy piano around $1.75. Halloween barbie have been hanging out on that clearance shelf for a while now, but this one won't go nicely with a Christmas theme. I would love to make baskets, but, where is everyone getting nice baskets from? $1 store? I could use some nice basket gift making tips. On how to get them cheap, and how to make them pretty. I have some candles I can gift.
