Frugal Gifts for Adults- college kiddos

FRUGAL GIFTS FOR ADULTS:::(College kids, you can try these for those folks that must have a present):: the Goodwill has an abundance of coffee cups.(Sometimes they can be found 2/$1 - wait to catch the sales on Sunday and Wednesday.) Buy a couple, clean and scrub, attach or place in basket with hot chocolate or a pound of good coffee. OR fill mugs with candy/candy canes, wrap with colored plastic wrap and tie with a ribbon for a nice gift. ....... You can buy baskets at the Goodwill or yard sales, fill with fruit, candy or whatever you can come up with. Sometimes Walmart and other stores have bundles of washcloths for a couple of dollars. You can take them apart and roll them up and fill the basket with washcloth rolls for a nice gift. OR use a small basket and one or two wash clothes with an inexpensive Yardley soap bar from the Dollar Tree, they smell great!....Buy a nice BIG chocolate bar for $1-$2 and wrap with a bow on top for a thoughtful gift. .... Buy a nice pair of socks from the Dollar Tree and attach a candy cane for a nice 'stocking'!
