Okay, I'm getting stressed! I haven't got much money and I have MANY friends and family who I need to buy christmas prezzies for. What can I buy them I need ideas. Its so annoying!!
PLEASE HELP?!

An also I really do not know what I want for christmas. I have 100 pound left to buy whatever I want what could I get. Something interesting please??

I know, you are going to be told 'make something yourself'. Depending on your talents that could be wonderful or dismal. Christmas is not all about gifts. In my opinion, a letter or note to the people who are important to you telling them what they mean to you is priceless. Write it on good stationery. It will be saved. I treasure the one from my daughter at age 16. I am so grateful to have had the same chance with people who meant a lot to me.
Okay, and for the others in your life.
How about a small party, a gift of your time and friendship?
For yourself? A book can last a lifetime. Find some good books, maybe on philosophy, poetry, art, those you can treasure always, and go back to often.

One year for Christmas, I did the letter idea that Cerisa listed.

I had virtually no money, so I got a nice set of stationary, and hand wrote the five best memories I had with each of the people on my list.

When my great-gramma died 2 years ago, her list was found in the front of her Bible, obviously read and re-read. My gramma still has hers in her purse, and my mom has hers in her jewelry safe, with her other precious things.

I would think that a letter like that from anyone I love would be one of the most precious things I ever got from them.

I like the letter idea also. People will understand you do not have a great deal of money and I doubt everyone expects a gift. Yes, it is nice to get a gift but it is nice to get something heartfelt. Can you do something like a coupon book for someone? For example, if you have an aunt and uncle who has a small child that needs babysitting - make some coupons for that. Or an elderly family member - make some coupons for errands or housecleaning or even a bit of baking. Your good will go a longer way than any material gift. Plus, done in love - who can top that?

I love the idea of a letter to people telling them five favorite memories you have with each person. Do that with people older than you are -- uncles, aunts, grammas, mom, dad. For sibs and friends, bake something -- make fudge or cookies -- and put each food gift into a Christmasy container.

I know these ideas probably sound weird maybe, but trust us!

I agree with Wondergirl. Do something simple like making Christmas cookies and give to your friends. Remember, it is the thoughs that count and not how much you spend on someone.

Thanks for the comments that is a very brill idea thanks a lot:)
