    I have given a few items away already, I am thinking about giving some napkin rings as Christmas presents to others. And some of the brooches that animals style as one of my friends loves these kind of brooches.

    I try to remind myself SPECIFICALLY to look for items that could be used for gifts when I go yard-saling or thrift shopping. There are many things we can buy like that if we just package them up nicely will do very nicely for gifting purposes at pennies on the dollar...just got to watch for them!

    Glad you got some deals and sold the books!! Big Grin

    I'm thinking about trying to make great gift baskets, comprised of thrift store/yard sale finds, for all of the adult kids, for Christmas. Yesterday, I found a beautiful, large willow basket and two Libby glass candlesticks that will be the start of one gift. I have a coupon for candles @ six for a dollar. Don't know what else will go into the basket, but I'll know it when I see it. Napkin rings, and nice, inexpensive cloth napkins is a great idea.
