@Yahooey : We decided to do practical gifts of items people need and use. For example: BIL has a smoker and loves the disposable pan and lids and purchased him a case of 100 pans and lids from Sam's and not very expensive. Just a big box to wrap.Two people requested the special brownie pan that I use. I typed up my special directions and included two boxes of brownie mix and or cooling rack or cookie sheet if they requested or needed. The gifts with numbers on them- because I always pull some type of gag gift related to the real gift on my special friend. Some of the gifts included a typed letter explaining our appreciation and love for the individual/ family that effective January will no longer be exchanging monthly gifts, birthdays, Christmas etc. The gift bags with lock n lock container included gift card and Hershey kisses for people that prefer gift cards. Will try next week to bake cookies and banana nut bread. I have the recipe for the chocolate chip cookies from the Doubletree Hotel.

@Drythe : Thank you. The red truck was purchased last year from Hobby Lobby with a 40% discount and truck already marked down. I love great bargains. DH calls me - cheap-O. Found the green truck with the dog today at Walmart for $16.99. When DH saw the dog- he picked the truck up and put it in  my cart before I could reach for it😀😁. I love the 3D bows.

@cowboy sam : I ordered the tablecloth last year from Amazon and it fit the old table. Blessed to find the cheap red tablecloth at Walmart to make it look better on the new table😁🤗❤️

@SouthernBee 

I have the white Valerie Truck, and they look very much alike.

Waited 3 years to get one that was an “As Is” almost gave up.

We’re not cheap-o, we’re Frugal!

@cowboy sam : I found the star tree topper at Walmart and was afraid it was to big for the tree.The big red ornament was from my Mom and Dad collection. I still have a few more but looks better on regular size .
