QUESTIONS

Everything
you wanted
to know.

What can I give for Christmas with $20?

Something good and well made: craft chocolate or cookies, a breakfast basket, a tea selection, movie tickets or a notebook. At $20, care beats quantity.

How do I make a cheap gift look better?

Choose a quality or handmade product over a big anonymous one, wrap it nicely and add a handwritten note. A thought tied to their tastes is worth more than the price.
