Yeah... Basically I have a lot of friends that I want to give gifts to (for christmas) but I dont know what to get them because I don't exactly have an unlimited supply of money. :P
What should I give my friends? Are there any cheap stores? I don't much care for bulk buying. But I'm thinking of getting my closest friends stuff that I know they'll like. and some less close friends a cute cup with candy in it? any other ideas? |

no offense but i would not give them the whole "cookie mix in a jar" thingy. who seriously wants a jar full of sugar and flour and shit for christmas? i can't think of anything i'd want less than a jar of flour, except maybe like...a jar of lint or something like that. i could go in my kitchen if i wanted sugar and oats and flour. here's some random shit i found in my cabinet and poured in a jar for you!
but if you're friends are into that sorta thing then go for it. |
