Unique GIFTS - 10 on the 10th!

The goal of 10 on the 10th is for a group of us to create something that cost under $10.  Visit the bloggers at the end of this post to see what they created!  

This month's theme was GIFTS

Gift giving can be a challenge sometimes, especially when on a budget.

  Here are a few ideas for the one who loves to try a new cocktail during the holidays:


The price of mini bottles start at $1, so be creative and see how you can spend under $10 for a fun gift.  

You could give an assortment of minis

Here are a few fun ideas:



Buy a holiday glass at the dollar store, a mini bottle of Cherry Vodka and a can of coke for a "cocktail gift".....


Wrap it all together in a cello bag for a "cocktail for one":


OR 

Blueberry vodka, ginger ale in a dollar store glass, with an angel pick....


....for another "cocktail for one":


Cruzan Mai Tai, a pre-made cocktail, costs 8.99.....add a package of straws from the dollar store and tie it with a bow!


A mini bottle of Coconut Rum costs $2.  Add a package of cocktail napkins for $1 and a can of coke for under $1  - wrap in a cello bag or a cup!

Here are a few practical ideas from the past


Buy a few paper goods ($1 ea) and add your favorite recipe for a holiday dessert - or better yet, bake it!:




Buy 2 $1.00 dish towels at the dollar store and create a Yule Log by rolling them into a log and tie with a bow!


Make some fudge for under $10.00- you can pack it in a pretty box or make wreaths and buy a cute little holiday dish at the dollar store!


Paint a $1 ornament with their initial on it:

  2. Patti, I must say your blog post came at a perfect time for me. I am invited to a Christmas party and didn't know what type of gift I can bring the host. Your ideas are perfect. I was going to bring a bottle of wine, but your gift ideas are so much better. Thank you so much!
