in some ways you would not buy a christmas dinner nearly everyone makes there own christmas dinner for the family they do not buy it in, so in that regard can you do the same when thinking of getting other people xmas presents?.
if you bought in christmas dinner just think how expensive it would be so in this regard, with a bit of thought you can save money in the same way buy making some of your own homemade christmas presents.
i would say buy some traditional regular presents from the shops as well, but to save a bit of cash at christmas some presents as well, for example if you can knit really well you could make presents that way.
or if you are really good at cooking you could make some home made christmas treats for people like cakes or chocolate to supplement the presents you buy them, this will make christmas 2011 a little bit cheaper, so it does not turn into the most expensive month of the year, and you can make these homemade gifts for anyone from your boyfriend or girlfriend, to your mum or dad, or children.
here is a list of some ideas of the kind of home made xmas gifts you could make, and then you have a idea what would suit your practical talents out of that list from what you are good at doing with handy crafts, and i have also tried to find some simple easy to make xmas home made gift ideas as well to keep the list as simple as possible.
1, make your own christmas preserves and jams for friends christmas gifts 2011.
2, make your own christmas crackers for someones gifts.
3, make someone a home made cushion cover as a xmas 2011 gift idea.
4, make someone a xmas hamper, buy a stylish carrier style box, and add items from crackers, chocolate, various tinned items, maybe some drinks etc, you could choose some items with a xmas theme like mince tarts or christmas cakes and rum sauce etc for the hamper.
5, make your own gingerbread men, and the same really with the various cakes you can make with a xmas theme like minced tarts, or christmas cake or pudding etc.
6, if you are artistic you could draw people pictures or paintings with a xmas theme or just something the person would like, or a memory of them from you, this would work out as a very cheap xmas gift idea, but would just be time consuming on your part in doing the paintings or drawings.
7, probably one of the easiest i think to make is to make home made christmas cards for your friends, if you have a printer you can print off christmas images from the computer, then you just need some thin folded card to stick the image to and you have a free to make home made xmas card, though of course you can do more then that and make them more better designed.

Next on the runway, we see an equally appealing collage of discordant colors in this combination super-hero costume and para-sailing outfit. Holey Underwear, Batman!
If you are like me (and let's face it, who isn't?) you probably have a thing for fairies. I mean the kind that run around the woods at night, half nekkid, of course. Wait a sec... I have seen both kinda of fairies doing that. If that's your thing, then you will be glad I included a picture of this enchanting outfit.
And what lingerie ensemble is complete without dual shoulder-mounted parasols to protect those delicate dual shoulder-mounted shoulders from the scorching sun while she walks her dog through the boudoir.
I am proud to say that the dog she is walking is actually our very own shitsu-bichon mix, Truffle. He enjoyed the dog walk on the cat walk so much that he didn't mind having to swallow that pesky umbrella that is poking out of his tummy.
Next up is Stella, looking like a stellated icosahedron in heels. And feathers. Yes. Feathers are always a nice touch.
We have here a darling lady who decided to embroider her Mousketeer ears, and add ribbons. Annette Funicello, eat your heart out.
The outfit below won the hard-fought contest for the most daring use of colors that really don't go together. Ever. This coveted prize was presented by Stevie Wonder.
As I said, these photos are provided by the largess of Fox News. And speaking of largess, I would like to end this charming exhibitionist exhibition with the largess-est of all. What woman would not love to accentuate her caboose with this outfit that is just too-too much. This will definitely be in the package arriving at my doorstop. I cannot wait.
Karen Valentine, of course, played a teacher in the early 1970's sitcom Room 222. Now I'll tell you everything I can remember about the TV show. It was a sitcom about a teacher who taught in room 222 in a school somewhere. There were students, I think. And some other teachers, maybe. And some contrived, but mildly funny stuff happened. And there was the aptly named Karen Valentine. She was so uber-cute. Her face was indelibly etched into my pre-pubescent and partly pubescent mind. I swear, I could recognize a jpeg image of her with just three pixels.
Andre the Giant and Robin Wright in Princess Bride Speaking of Andre, I just read an interesting factoid about him. Wikipedia (which is the authoritative source for all celebrity gossip) states that on at least three occasions, he drank in excess of 100 beers in one sitting. This has been an inspiration for me. I have been trying to bulk up so that I (like he) can become a pro wrestler. But, since I lack the necessary culture and refinement for pro wrestling, I may have to settle for being an opera singer. At any rate, I know I need to find a fall back career. My days as an applied mathematician are numbered, since nearly every number has already been computed.
Discovered by singing karaoke?Although my search has been valiant and tireless, it has also been fruitless. Could Karen Valentine be my first fruit?
