Also just a little frugal tip on Christmas gift baskets: A few years ago I got fed up with both the cost and wastefulness of bottom of the basket filler. You know the kind, the shredded bits of paper/raffia that comes in a myriad of colors and costs about five dollars at a craft store per tiny bag. Well, I still wanted my baskets to look beautiful, but I didn't want to spend 5 dollars per basket on something that gets thrown out and adds nothing to the overall gift. Solution you ask? Christmas tree! Yep, that's right! Just snip a few pretty sprigs from the overgrown bottom of your Christmas tree and lay them in your basket! It creates a wonderfully fragrant and festive look, costs you nothing and you can;t get more biodegradable than that! I promise the lucky recipients will be charmed and you couldn't ask for a more frugal and stylish way to make them your own.
