Atleast, thats always been important to me rather then price tags. I know we arn't all the same. lol Sure maybe some will think you are cheap, but your ROI (which is all our prerogative) will be a lifetime friend or future similar heartfelt gifts in return. :) Now for anyone that aint up for baking or making fudge wreaths or handmade gingerbread houses and giving them to me as gifts, and who wants to put a pricetag on their love... I'll take that new Motorola Droid or BN Nook eReader! hahaha :) JK .-= James from Tech for the Masses´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.techforthemasses.net/2009/12/how-to-change-facebook-privacy-setting/" rel="nofollow">How to Change Facebook Privacy Settings</a> =-. @MyLifeROI, I think its more about people seeing that you actually put time into the gift.

But I love food (and junk food! unfortunately!). I would be nervous giving those things to people in fear of them thinking I'm cheap. But I guess that's silly. If it's good enough for me, I'm sure they would be fine with it... right? @James from Tech for the Masses,

Not only are real cards unnecessarily expensive, I usually botch it and only send them to some people and not others. At least with e-cards it will be frugal and appeal to my lazier side! Shopping after x-mas is AWESOME. I do that when I know I won't see a family member til after the holidays. Win-Win! @David/Yourfinances101,

Last year we cinched up our belt some and didn't give a ton of presents. Instead, we made things like cookies and fudge wreaths - and it wasn't too time consuming. I think it makes things personal also.
