Lorie's Frugal Ideas Notebook 11/18

My Frugal Idea Notebook is where I store all the ideas I get from other blogs on the web to help me stay frugal. This week I am focusing on Cheap Christmas Gift Ideas and I found some really neat ones on the topic!

1. $5 Cake Mix Basket from The Grocery Cart Challenge (I want to make a few of these!)


2. Last Minute Gift Cards from Buzzings of a Queen Bee (I'm always needing a quick card too!)


3. A Romantic Frugal Gift from Betty Beguiles (I want to do this with my husband!)

4. Gifts your kids can make from One Krusty Mama (My kids would love to make these!)

5. Homemade Sugar Scrubs from Thrifty Jinxy (I know a lot of women who would love this!)


6. No Sew Fleece Blankets from Mom on the Go (Cheap if you have some extra fabric on hand.)


7. Giving to Charity from "Cents"able Mamma (I like to give during the holidays, here's a way that won't cost much.)


8. Using Bowls as Gift Baskets from Wildwood Mama (I have seen these on clearance and never thought about that use!)


9. Cheap Family Christmas Gifts from Curves with Attitude (I love this idea of involving your whole family!)


10. Leaf Candle from Generation Cedar (This looks like a fun project!)


11. Free Stocking Stuffers from Are We There Yet?


12. Christmas Gift Basket Ideas from Frugal Ideas From the Parsonage (This is alot like what I am doing this year!)

Hello. I couldn't resist your blog name and had to pop in. I love your frugal notebook. I have one with what I call my frugal ideas on ways to save money. I also have frugal tips that I, too, have got from others on the web. Thanks for sharing!
