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.
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.

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.
