In the first week of December, Homebody gave to me…
Four cozy pillows…
Two apothecary jars…
One sweater stocking…
Three framed artwork….
One rice heat pack….
Nine jeweled magnets…
Two monogrammed vases…
And one recipe card holder.
And spent about $23 total for the whole lot! Beat that, Santa!

I'm trying my hand at some cable knit pillows right now for my mom. They'll match her living room nicely!
Suzanne- I saw those peppermint sticks at Cracker Barrel just the other day!

Suzanne, I think the peppermint sticks may look deceivingly large in the photo. They are about 4" tall and 1/2" thick. They are Bob's Sweet Stripes, and I found them at Walmart. Dollar Tree has the really big ones that are about 12" long and 1" thick.
I just noticed your page is snowing! Where did you find the code for that? I love it!
Got the snow code at Blogger Buster

Love the monogrammed vases!!
I am in awe at all of these wonderfully creative ideas that you have shared. I've got my jars/bowls and candlesticks. I bought the glue. So now I will be making some of the jars that you shared. Thanks again for sharing these gift ideas. They are all great.

Thanks for this series. I'm going to make some rice bags today.
Oh my goodness, I love every project! I'm off to explore your blog. :)
love them all- I've made a bag using corn before, I will need to try the rice.
Thanks for sharing
Peppermints sticks give me warm fuzzies. Love what you did and thanks for having this party every week. Love it!
Found you over at the Inspired Room- I love your blog! Very inspiring, thanks for sharing!
Cute stuff!!! I may steal, I mean borrow a few ideas. Love the peppermint sticks in the jars. I'm going to buy some & do that. Thanks for visiting my blog & leaving me a comment.

Now THAT'S thrifty! Can't believe all that you got for your money. You did a good job with it all too (loving those pillows!) Have a good weekend...
I don't have any finds to put up today, but just wanted to say that I love the recipe holder/frame. That is just as adorable as can be.
I don't have a thrifty gift idea to share right now, but I am definitely using some of your great ideas in my home like the peppermint sticks in the jars and framing the children's artwork
I just love the inspirations you have shared with us! :o) Thank you so much!
I just posted a question on my blog. Can you help me? Thanks! Trish
I made some rice heat packs on Friday. I made both the long skinny ones (because that is the shape I like best) and the squarish ones with the chanels like you showed. I used dropcloth fabric, and it worked perfectly! I will be making some pretty covers to complete the gifts. I think my husband will be taking one set for his work gift exchange. It will be something different from the usual coffee shop gift card. So thanks again for the tutorial!
I loooove the vases, so gorgeous!
By the way, thanks for stopping by at Casa Haus!
