It is not only possible to spend gobs of money on your little rug rats but also gobs of your time. We spoiled our children and we apparently are even more intent on doing so with our grandchildren! They rarely gave us toys or money. My parents were somewhat more interactive with their grandchildren (my kids).

That’s a lot of money and if you don’t have the cash , PLEASE don’t feel compelled to spend what you don’t have. It is possible to give thoughtful gifts with very little money or even no money at all. They really don’t need or want anything and both of my grandmothers are trying to downsize.

This list of thoughtful, but FREE Christmas gift ideas is proof that you don’t need to spend a lot of money on the people you gift to if you use your time, resources, and creativity. This sweet little candy dish was a gift from my grandmother. My great-grandmother made a lot of her gifts. Family Heirlooms. Garden Harvest.

My mom has wonderful memories of her maternal grandmother, and though she talks about her often, I only know that she loved to knit and that she lived until 94 and was a “sweet woman.” ” However, you don’t have to spend that much money to preserve your family’s memories.

All my life I’ve been careful with money, most of the time through necessity, but now just through habit. Help me out, am I being cheap or just smart about money? Some folks (including my own Grandmother) make their own soaps, lotions, cleaners and more. I save tape and paper and old paint drop sheets.
