How to Buy the Best Christmas Present 2013 - 2014
Buying the best Christmas present for every member of your family and even your friends can be quite tricky. Although it can be tricky, there is no need to stress out. Instead, if you are at a loss for what to buy, you have a couple different options that should go over great!
Some of the best presents are the most thoughtful ones and not the most expensive. For instance, a personalized picture calendar is hard to beat when you have pictures of your family plastered on every page and the good thing about this gift is that you can add every family members birthday, anniversaries and any other special date you wish. You can also order as many as you like and give to all members of the family.

Another option is to make Christmas decorations as a gift. You can potentially make a dozen or more live greenery swags for less than $5.00.
How?
It may take a bit of work, but not much. All you need to do is cut some greenery, tie them together, and add a large bow or a few plastic ornaments. These are perfect for hanging on front doors and you can make them huge if you like. The bigger they are the more expensive they look. If you don’t tell the person you made it, they will think you purchased it and it will look like you paid a boat load!
I hope this helps and Merry Christmas!
