Well, Christmas is stealthily approaching. I have noticed some shiny stuff in my local Reject Shop that would normally be in my budget, however this year I am broke...Like really broke. Like 'using newspaper to wipe my ass' and 'eating tuna and crackers and stealing vegetables from my neighbours garden' broke. I considered visiting fiverr.com to donate sperm to raise some $, but that idea is fraught with hazards of the logistical, ethical and legal variety.

So, I have decided that I am going to 'make' my Christmas presents, starting with the obligatory Christmas card that I am obliged to send people.

What do others think of home made cards and presents? Would you be insulted if anyone aside from a 4 year old made and gave you a gift? What is something that you been given that has proved to be a great gift and obviously home made or cost phuckall?
