I used to only give Christmas presents to my family members because most of my close friends don't even celebrate Christmas.
However, last year, a group of pretty close friends (who do, celebrate Christmas) gave me presents and I feel obliged to give them something this year.
There's about 12 of them. I can handle giving 2-3 people presents. But with 12 of them (15 including my family), I don't think I can spend the time and money to buy them each 'thoughtful' gifts.
Any ideas on how I can handle this?

I always used to stress about gifts for my friends. They would give me things, so I always felt obligated to give them something in return. What I’ve started doing is making lots of homemade baked goods and wrapping them in cute holiday bags with candy. I just make a bunch of them and hand them out at school. It’s inexpensive and something that EVERYONE likes. Who doesn’t like chocolate and cookies?
Last year i made all of my friends snickerdoodles and gave some of them candy canes and i bought one of those things from Bath & Body that has like ten little lotions in it and gave one to each of my friends. Bath & Body also has tons of little things that make great gifts. Hope this helps!
Umm .. i recommend the “loom” it like.. helps you make scarves and eachperson can get a scarf, you can customize it with differnt colour yarns and etc.. the possibilties are endless, so it can be thoughtful too . :). THe good thing is.. the look is like .. about $8- $10 at Micheal’s .. in canada, you can also get them in walmart soooo thats good. pick different colours.. etc. they’re all good. maybe each person’s favorutie colour? it’ll keep them warm and ready for the winter. : )
hope i helped.
just ask all your friends and family what their number one favorite song is. then go to itunes and buy the karaoke versions of the songs. then use sound recorder (start, programs, accessories, entertainment, sound recorder) and sing their favorite songs, then burn a cd for all them.
okay first of all if your just giving them presents cause they gave you some… that is going about it the wrong way! you need to get them presents if you feel you should not just cause they got you stuff. if anything take them all out to eat and celebrate! (like everyone pays) but your all just together
give some family members cards with money(5 dollars) gift cards to there favorite stores t-shirts jewelery hats posters and other things like that.
I would bake cookies or brownies and wrap them in a nice reusable dish.
