My skills lean towards the culinary which works great for some people's gifts, but not so well on others.

I remember one Valentine's day my gift was as over the top of a romantic dinner I can think of. I cooked up Filet Migon and Blue Crab as the main course, Poached flower cut potatos and carrots with fresh shallots and asparagus as the vegetable course, a y2k blush wine, with chocolate fondue as dessert.

That right there really taxed all of my cooking ability since I never cooked seafood or fondue before, but it turned out great. Although the ingredents cost about 150 dollars total >.< it was worth it.

Now guys if you need a cook to prepare all this for your g/f or wife and then I disappear and you take all the credit I can give you a fee table. Cool

I'm in the same boat. And actually...I did do this last year (to some extent) by making jars of hot cocoa mix as gifts from my family.

This year everyone should expect pie in the mail...

Cyber-hugs. Razz

Take a picture of yourself hugging a picture of the person you're gifting to. Razz

Sakura gave me two glue guns and like a million glue sticks. Now I just haveta think of things to glue together and give as gifts...Like glue gun some CD's together and make a dual sided CD Very Happy...Ok that won't work.

I enjoyed looking on these sites but they have a mighty big upcharge for the skill to make this stuff for you. I loved the necktie dog leash but not for almost $40...

Not everything does, FF. Some people charge a lot for things, some don't. ^^

The cherry earrings were cute!

I'm just saying that a lot of the things can act as an inspiration to someone to do it themselves.

1/4 of 1/3 of our presents are done. xD I'm still not sure when I'm going to find time to finish the rest, given I have to study for finals this weekend and then soon after we're on vacation until the day before Christmas, but we'll see.
