Great Christmas Gifts for 2009

Stuck for Christmas gift ideas?  Here are some gifts I'm giving this year, maybe they'll work for you, too.

Ralph Lauren men's beige terrycloth robe, one-size-fits-all from TJ Maxx: $44

Carbon Fiber & Stainless Steel (21 mm long x 14 mm wide) cuff links from Overstock.com:  $34

Gift certificates to a local pizza parlor:  $30

Planet Earth DVD set from Amazon:  $26

Self-assembled food gift bag of gingerbread cookies, peppermint cookies, Ghiradelli holiday chocolate assortment bag, and chocolate bar all from Filene's Basement for my company's gift exchange:  $25

Sony Power Battery Charger with 4 AA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries from Amazon:  $17

Monet hanging 2010 calendar from Borders:  $15

It's A Wonderful Life: 60th Anniversary Ed. DVD from Amazon: $14

Cinnamon/Vanilla toiletries in a green Christmas bucket from TJ Maxx:  $11

Schmitt Sohne Spatlese 2007 Riesling from Binny's:  $10.  This will be bundled with some cheese from Pastoral, and a whole pineapple or some pears.

Manneheim "Christmas" CD from Amazon:  $9

At my aunt's request, I'm also donating to a local charity instead of giving her a gift.  I've made a certificate signifying my donation, printed an envelope with her name and some Christmas graphics, and bought a stuffed Snoopy from CVS ($5) to hold the envelope under the tree.

If you've got a killer Christmas gift idea, feel free to share it!

I should mention that my Christmas budget comes from an extra fee I receive at this time every year. Christmas travel and gifts don't disturb my regular contributions to savings.
