Hello everyone. The holidays are coming and I am freaking out about what to do for gifts. My new job consists of about 15 acquaintances all who are very earthy and into cultural awareness...and then I have 3 close co-workers, 1 who is my boss-who are very formal. What to do what to do????
I dont have much cash this year so I figured it would be a good idea to plan early. I also absolutely hate providing gifts that people dont use. Therefore, I have decided to become an expert in canning and give out jarred applesauce, jams, and dill pickles as little "gift baskets". I have the HUGE advantage that my boyfriend's family owns an Orchard/Farm with apple picking currently in the prime. I could probably get most the fruit for almost nothing. I figure my acquaintances will get one jam, sauce, or pickle-and then my closer network of co-workers will get a more personalized basket of jams, applesauce, and maybe a gift certificate.....
What do you all think? Am i too cheap this year?

Ah the joys of now longing working out--no more gift exchanges, office collections, etc.
