i bought all the nieces and nephew, led flashlights, got a bulk deal on ebay, amounted to $3.00 a piece, then took regular old brown bad, lunch bags, and glued a down loaded Santa picture on it. makes a neat package bag. like the ones that sell for $3-500 each. just write the to and from in Santa's beard. i down loaded the pic from some site, and printed the on plain paper, 5x7, 2 images per sheet.

Creative, inexpensive, and shows you put some effort into their gifts instead of "store-bought". Very Nice!

when you retire, you learn to stretch every dollar, they don't stretch as far as they use to.

Very nice thoughtful also. Buy your girl a cordless drill ha.

Tried that once but put a diamond bracelet in the box, she threw the box at me.

My daughter opened the box and took out the bracelet in the box it was wrapped and asked my wife could she keep it.

Now my wife opens everything i give her. Ha.

Woa nothin worse than a woman who likes to mess with ya tool, or tools.

Wait depends on what tool we are talking about, [wink].

Kidding wife knows how to change tires and a bunch of stuff didn't want her stuck on a hi-way or somewhere not safe waiting for a tow truck or aaa.

Good she knows how to fix stuff.

Puddle jumper.......... Ya aint seen the infamercials they have out with that soil drill bit and drill for $19.99. Lord I can't remember the name of that device but it's a bit that they use to irragate plants and it also allows you to drill holes to plant seeds.

Maybe she went behind your back and bought one of those bits and just needed your drill :D.

Creative idea TD.

No she was out there with a regular drill bit drilling holes.

TD your idea reminds me when i was about 9 years old and needed Valentine cards. I spent all night making them. Most of the kids thought thay were great. Home made presents are the ones that come from the hart.:)
