Need affordable Christmas gift giving ideas?

I think your sister would love something from Bath & Body Works such as a wallflower or a candle! She may also like some cute jewelry or hair accessories, makeup, or even nail polish!

Your brother may like a new video game or t-shirt! Or some boxes/bags of his favorite candy!

As for other gifts, here is an idea: take a mug, fill it with shea socks, face masks, a mini candle, chocolates, lotion, etc. There's a perfect & VERY affordable spa gift for any girl or woman! Here's a youtube video I found helpful that is the source of this idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGDLOPeIsPs

For your sister:

-a book from a series she likes

-perfume/lotion from a place like Bath and Body Works

-board game

-make up, if she's allowed to wear it

-earbuds/headphones

-a journal

-movies

-posters

For your brother:

-candy/chocolate

-books

-video games

-earbuds/headphones

-sports equipment

-a jersey of his favorite sports team

-a kit of some kind, like a science kit or a chemistry set

Sorry if I wasn't super helpful with your brother, I was going off of stuff my 9-year-old cousin likes, but he's a bit nerdy and usually asks for books and stuff like that.

As for your friends, you can get a lot of little bottles of lotion or hand sanitizer from Bath and Body Works, some chocolate or candy canes, $5 Starbucks gift cards, fuzzy socks, and maybe a little Christmas ornament and include it in a little gift basket that you make on your own. Otherwise, I've seen cheap gift sets in the Christmas aisle at Wal-Mart. They have a whole variety, with some for hot chocolate making, some for lotions and shower gel, etc.

Merry Christmas/Happy Thanksgiving!
