A picture’s worth a thousand status updates? No.

Consignment, resale, thrift shops using Facebook albumsThere’s nothing more annoying than getting 4 or 6 or even (yes I counted!) 15 status updates in a row from the same person/business on Facebook.

Desperation time?

December 19, 2012 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

 

It’s getting down to the wire, and you simply cannot think of the right gift for someone… or everyone!

A treasury of ideas for neighbors, kids, men. You will definitely findsome “just-right” presents on these lists!

TipJunkie collected up 2 dozen neighbor (read: work friend, client, anyone you like but don’t know well) gifts here.

Stocking stuffer ideas. Who doesn’t need THEM? (No stockings? Do a basket of treats!)

My local thrift store has Mason jars for 99 cents…for a Gift in a Jar (this site has free printables for labels, too. Kisses to them!)

Stocking stuffers for men. They’re such a pain when they don’t like glitter and face paint. More here, too.

Kids’ stocking stuffers can be easier, but need to be geared to their ages. Lists here.

A collection of gifts from your kitchen.
