Gift giving can be a daunting challenge, particularly at Christmas. Many times our youngsters want to participate in this wonderful holiday by giving presents of their own to family and friends. Unfortunately, the cost of generosity may become a bit much, especially if you are on a budget. By being a little creative and open-minded, you and your children can get through the season of giving with ease. You'll find that many of these ideas can be made for very little and I find that the local dollar store serves me very well for accessories and gift wrapping.

Here are a few gift ideas kids can give to their loved ones that won't break the bank.

1. Personalized Christmas ornaments, handmade or purchased and then personalized with beads, glitter, names etc
2. Gardening gloves with a mini-plant or flower seeds packet
3. Home-made holiday cookies in a holiday tin with the recipe
4. Homemade cookie mix in a jar with instructions for baking
5. Note cards or stationery, pen. Add a book of stamps if the gift is for a far away relative or pen-pal.
6. Set of dish towels, dish cloths or potholders or kitchen utensils tied with a ribbon
7. Magazines tied together with a pretty ribbon
8. Mini coffee packet (makes a full-pot) in a cup with home-made chocolate dipped spoons
9. $5.00 gift certificate for a local ice-cream parlor or coffeehouse
10. Disposable camera or rolls of film with a mini-photo album
11. Decorate an inexpensive stocking and fill it with goodies
12. A framed piece artwork created and signed by them
13. Holiday placemats with napkins and napkin holders
14. Birdseed hearts or bird seed pine cone for the nature lover or birds
15. Doggie biscuits or cat toy for a pet lover or 4-legged friends
16. A set of napkin rings or placemats
17. A couple of small candles and small bag of potpourri
18. Coupon books-your child could offer to clean their room, wash dishes, take out trash, dust furniture, water plants, mow lawn or fold clothes or even hugs and kisses. These also make great stocking stuffers.
19. A 2-3 pack condiment/oil set tied with ribbon
20. Movie night snack pack-buy a bowl, 2 bags of popcorn, 2 candy bars, 2 pops, add candies, few napkins
21. Color family snapshot-enlarge at office store, signed with best wished and framed. Great far away relatives.
22. Soup kit-get a basic dried soup kit and bread mix, add 2 soup bowls
23. Fruit basket-just buy an inexpensive basket, fruit and decorate
24. Chocolate candy bars tied w/decorative ribbon
25. Recycled books or a journal for the book reader or writer

Adult's Muscle Chest Batman Halloween Costume

Customer Review: Good costume
This costume with the muscle chest is great for the money. I chose to purchase a better mask and a pair of gloves because I plan to wear this for a few years. The only thing I didnt like is the ears on the mask, they are kind of floppy.A similar costume without the muscle chest looks more like adult pajamas.

Halloween is the time to send Ecards to friends. Halloween is the time to send Ecards to family. How to get Free Halloween Ecards? One must share the fun of Halloween but how to get very good quality Ecards that look different and dont cost? Let me tell you.

Free Halloween Ecards - tips on selection

Internet offers paid and free, both kinds of Ecards. How to get the best at no cost? Let me give you few tips.

1. Search for Free Halloween Ecards. It is not necessary that the best Ecards will be always on the first page of search results. That may be even in the third or fourth page. Search engine searches with different criteria and the first result need not be best for you. Therefore look at few websites. The very first page - home of the website should give you idea about the quality of the content. Ask these questions- is the homepage well laid out? Are the fonts and colors pleasing? Does the design look professional? Does the website offer small content or large content? Once you are sure that you have located a good website, click the Halloween Ecards.

2. View few Free Halloween Ecards. Look at the colors. Is the size right? Or the Ecard is very small? Is the Ecard designed in flash or plain JPG? If they are JPG, move to another website.

3. What about the Ecards text? Does it evoke the spirit of Halloween? Listen to the music. Is the music matching the mood of the Ecards? If not, select another.

4. Does the Free Halloween Ecard open and begin playing immediately? Or you have to click the Ecard to play? The later is good because it gives you the opportunity to view the Ecard carefully and enjoy it. The Ecards that begin playing immediately as they open give no opportunity to the recipient to watch it and enjoy. He/she will have to replay it again to view it. Why trouble the recipient? Send an Ecard that has to be played. That will give enough time to watch the Ecard. Look at some of these Free Halloween Ecards-

5.Write whatever message you want below the Ecard. The message should be personal- between you and the recipient. Make it sound funny and nostalgic. The final test of a good message is simple- will it make the recipient feel good? If yes, go ahead. Send as many free Ecards as you wish.
