A couple years ago Mandy Thompson and I had attempted to put a video together for Christmas.

It was around the time our government bailed everyone out. Or, at least, the banks. And we were left scrambling.

Mandy and I wanted to offer up ideas for Christmas gifts on a budget. Example…

Instead of buying that fake snow to put around the bottom of your tree – collect dryer lent throughout the year and use that.

To save money to put toward gifts you can buy Whole Milk and dilute it to make 1% milk.

See where we were going with this?

Well, here was one idea for men that would be very cost effective. However…the video attempt at demonstrating this idea…kinda failed. And then I tried to kinda get through it. But I did not do very well.

[Oh, and Mandy was in my ear (bluetooth), talking it to death, that's how we did our split screen videos back in the day]

Got any Christmas gift tips you wanna share?
