Thrifty Christmas

I come from a pretty large family.  I am the youngest of 7 kids.  I have close to 20 nieces and nephews and 2 great nephews.  If we bought Christmas gifts for everyone in the family - well I would be broke!  In the past we drew names did a gift exchange, but when my father passed away 15 years ago - we decided to change it up.  We did a white elephant gift exchange for years.  I don't know where my siblings found and dusted off their items - but each year they came with their less than desirable gift.  This year we decided to put a new spin on it. For those that were in town, we drew names to get each other a gift.  Instead of spending $30 on a gift, we decided to set the limit at $5 and it had to come from a thrift store.  I don't have pictures, but here are some of the less than $5 gifts received:
Ann Taylor Purple Tweed Dress with Calvin Klein Sweater (my Mom received this)
German Beer Sampler Glasses
Wall decor
Board games
J Jill Sweat pants with the $40 tags still attached
Golf shirts
plus much much more!

Everyone was happy and our wallets were happy too.  It was a little bit harder to find a gift at the thrift store that your person would like but it was well worth it.
