Christmas Fun for only $10

I like getting presents. So when Christmas-shopping time came around I didn't want to do what a lot of other couples do when money's tight - avoid buying each other gifts. Instead, we came up with an idea that turned out to be just as fun: 10 gifts for $10.

The rules were simple. You must buy 10 gifts for the other person but only spend a total of $10 for an average of $1 per gift. I spread my shopping out with a few things from Save-A-Lot, Shop 'N' Save, Dollar Tree and Deals. My husband did all his shopping at Deals.

Here's what we ended up with:
