All my family (my parents and siblings and all our kids etc) pull names and need to get that person a gift for around $20. This year the theme is small gift. It must fit inside a brown paper lunch bag. Then we can decorate the bag as well. Okay so I got my sis in law, my son got my friend/sis and my daughter got my brother.
I’d like to kind of do as much locally or organic fair trade as possible. Any ideas?

I know a lady who makes homemade soap etc. Her soaps are $4 each. Maybe one for each person.

This is just a way of making spend less because we don’t buy for everyone then. And its really fun
I hear Christmas falls on the 23rd this year. Something about leap year or something or a full moon or something.

We have a lot of markets. Usually it’s a bit boutique if they are big enough but there’s plenty of ideas if your walking through. For $20 you can do those things like candles or other crafted things. If you have a local market I’d be checking that out weather permitting of course.
Sounds like a great idea. We usually just get everyone to buy a $5 scratchie then everyone picks one. I think we spent well over $100 and won like $25. Much rather your idea which sounds good and personal. Gambling is for fools!
