Walmart have some nice stacking candy boxes this year. They are plastic reuseable ones with lids, around $3 for a stack of three.

Yeah, wasn't that the idea?

I'm doing baking and sewing this year, more so than I ever did and I LIKE IT. Forget that other crap that makes you feel like you have to spend exorbitant $$$ on stuff just to impress, or whatever. The economy has changed, so in the spirit we accommodate. And more importantly, we may learn from this

Personally, I think something handmade is much, much more precious and valuable than something bought from the store. Of all the things my Grandma gave me, the things I treasure most now are the doilies, afghans, and Christmas ornaments she crocheted and gave me. She would give me one every time I would do something for her and always apologized that she could not pay me instead. I only wish she knew how much more I loved these than the handfuls of change she would give me sometimes.

Cookies and cakes are a great idea! Look around at how much stuff and clutter most of us have. Do we really need more? I think something consumable like that is a wonderful present!
