Christmas gifting...

(click on note to enlarge)
There are rumblings on several blogs that Christmas is just around the corner and yup, its true! It will be here before you know it.
*
Each year, my 4 sisters and I exchange gifts. They had to be homemade and inexpensive. Each year, one sister would choose the criterior for the following years gifts. At Christmas '08, Sister Sue handed us each a piece of paper (pictured above) which set out what we could give for Christmas '09.
*
My question to you, dear bloggers, is what would you choose as the gift? Price bracket - $10 to $15
*
Just thinking about round and shiny articles is hard. This glass door knob is nice.
*
These bangles are round and shiny.
*

I quite like this round and shiny ring.... hmmmm.... bit pricey!
*
Coins are round and shiny.
*
A nice crystal plate....
*
Ooh, pretty pearls...
*
Colourful glass marbles....
*
Glass baubles....very festive....but no.
*
Let me know if you come up with any ideas, its got me stumped!

  1. What a gorgeous idea and one that gets the mind really boggling!
    I am sure if you find yourself a gorgeous gift shop something round and shiny will find you.
    Many good ideas...
    Good luck!

  3. I have no clue! (I mean the pearls are great, but $10-15 they are not!)

  4. Guess a lot depends on who you are buying for...if someone is into doing crafts, there are beautiful buttons and beads that are round and shiny.

    You might find something small and round in an antique shop if the person likes such things.

    Of course there are always chocolates/cakes etc. on which you could put sugary sparkles.

    How about a halo for the sister who is an 'angel'? Or a small shiny angel statue.

    blessings and hugs,
