I know that this may sound corny... but i'm having fun!!
I have a big family, full of Uncles and Aunties, etc, etc and we all tend to get each other a little something for Christmas.
Well, all this year i have been saving my Jam jars and Sauce bottles. I have some glass paint and sticky diamonte things in the drawer at home and i'm making vases for each one of my female relatives!! Its personnal, and alot of effort goes into them. The jars are turning out really well and some are quite beautiful!! I'd be thrilled if i recieved one for a present!
My men in my family are all getting home made Christmas cookies!!!
As you can see, i need the money........ so this has turned into a great saving tip for me and gives me something to do in the evenings so im not out spending any money!!!! Whoppeeee!! :T :T :T

Well done you! I'm sure your family will really appreciate the time and effort that has gone into them.
