My core group of besties - truthfully they're family at this point - and I have decided, in the last few years, that we don't really need anything and we don't need to be spending ridiculous amounts of money on each other for gifts. So, last year we wrote up about 50-60 theme ideas and put them in a bowl and picked. Each year we'll draw a new theme and get each other something that fits the theme but we are not allowed to spend more than $10 on each person's gift. The one of us who's good at saving things keeps our theme ideas and each year as the holidays roll near we draw the theme of the year.
Last year's theme was Middle School. As you can imagine this resulted in some pretty hilarious gifts, including friendship bracelets and hair dye (we were in middle school in the 90s after all).
This year's theme: Diamonds! Diamonds for under $10 dollars? Clearly we are going to have to get creative. I have decided on my present and it is currently being crafted in my workshop, though with no elves to help it is going rather slowly, as my workshop is my garage and my garage is rather cold in the evenings after work. I obviously can't tell you what it is, on the off chance, that one of my ladies reads the blog, but as I'm sure you can all deduce it is from a Pinterest project, or two, and I hope it works.
What would you get/make for a Diamonds theme gift with a $10 max?
