I need to get some sort of gift for a friends birthday (who lives nearby) and for a kid of my extended family (lives further away).

Do you have any recommendations for gifts that go along with sorta frugal lifestyle? I can't think of anything right now (pressure is on, birthday 1 is tomorrow)

Baked goods.

Everyone loves baked goods.

One-upping this. Learning to make bread even before the pandemic hit made me become regarded as a demi-god by anyone that had the opportunity to taste my sourdough or learn from me to make even just scones.

yeah, my mind went to food - cook or bake something special ๐Ÿ˜„

Agreed. The year my sister lost her job, she made me a basket of gingerbread for Christmas. I enjoyed that so much more than anything she spent money on.

I still ask for gingerbread for Christmas, but now it's mostly because she gets grumpy about having to bake and it's funny.
