How does this list look?

[ThePigOfHappiness]

I'm a bit worried about affording Christmas this year (aren't we all?!) and just wondering what people think of this list?
Mum; voucher and chocolates
Dsis; voucher or pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers
Nan; chocolates
Grandad; chocolates
Mil; wine and chocolates
Fil; baileys and book
Bil; voucher or smelly set
Sil; voucher or pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers

I could handmake chocolate truffles and biscuits instead of buying boxes and could crochet slippers etc but does it look a bit mean? Or is it ok to give a small gift so long as you're giving something to say happy Christmas?

Looks fab.
I'd scrap the vouchers if your feeling skint - they have a fixed value iyswim, where as with careful shopping, you can spend MUCH less on the PJ/dressing gown/slippers set than the voucher would cost.

I have an agreement with a friend that the value doesn't matter, so if there is a b'day present for the kids that is perfect at £2, it doesn't need topping up - its the though that has gone in which is important, not the monetary value - we don't do christmas presents any more, as the present piles were silly, but b'days seem a bit less OTT for both of us.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too, and I could probably add a DVD and nail varnish very cheaply and make it a "pamper package" or something.
I wish I could have that arrangement with my mum and sister, but they are into big showy gifts like spa days which cost lots

your list looks great i think home made chocolate truffles are a lovely thoughtful idea you can get lovely xmas food boxes off ebay

I think that looks fab. I'm also making some chocolates, flavoured booze and doing some knitting as xmas gifts - it won't work out cheaper but I think the effort you put in somehow says to the recipient "I care" iyswm. Also, I would be really touched by a homemade gift like that, but maybe that's just me? I think your presents sound lovely.

Why don't you get your husband to sort out the in laws?

I think M&S is worth a look for the foodie presents. They seem to have a few different things on a half price offer every week. DH picked up MIL (who is in a care home with dementia) a tin of biscuits which is Xmas tree shaped and is also a musical box for £5. Sounds naff but will make her room look a bit xmassy and she'll actually quite enjoy watching/hearing it. They have some more sophisticated stuff too!

Yes m&s sounds good, I never think of there.
I hope handmade means I've put thought in, but that hasn't been the reaction from my mum I'm the past so I don't want to waste time and effort again for it not to be used iyswim? That's why I was thinking a voucher...
Are people generally ok with getting homemade stuff. Pils also asked me to make their dog a little coat, which I would enjoy!
