Oprah’s favorite things is my favorite show of hers each year. But most of the gifts are way out of my price range. They are great gifts but still on the pricey side. This is why I was excited to run across this article on Oprah.com about thrifty holiday gifts. It was on her show but I missed that episode.
There are some pretty neat ideas like the swap party. It’s a good way to find someone who needs something you already have. I also like the hot chocolate mixes using icing bags.
The article is full of great ideas. Most seem to be craft-related, so it will probably take a little bit of work to get the result that is pictured. But for those who craft, it can be a lot of fun. For me it would probably wind up to be more frustrating than anything.
