The best gifts are not based on how much they cost

How many gifts from past Christmas's are shoved in your closet that you have never used? Be honest. If you want to get someone a gift this holiday season, you could fix their broken step. They would sure rather have stairs safe to walk up then a hundred dollar gift they will shove in their closet and never use. Instead of wasting money on expensive gifts make them a homemade pie that you know is their favorite instead of another robe that they will never wear. When I tell my kids not to buy me anything they still do. I know you want to get people gifts but what is the point of wasting your money on things they will never use? Christmas is the season to be jolly and there is nothing jolly about having to make payments after Christmas on presents that you couldn't afford. And trust me the person you bought it for isn't jolly knowing that you are in debt buying them something that expensive that they are going to shove in their closet.
