I'm just guessing here, but I forecast a home-spun chic trend will emerge this holiday season. Hand-knit scarves, handmade dried flower arrangements, personalized photo albums and scrapbooks -- I think these types of gifts are going to be popular ways to give meaningful presents without breaking the bank. (The economy already did that. No point in you doing it too.) It's only October. If you start now, you have plenty of time to put a little elbow grease into your holiday gifts. Save money on supplies by checking newspaper circulars for craft store coupons for stores like JoAnn Fabrics, A.C. Moores and Michaels. Some can also be found online.

If you're not into scrapbooking, you can make photo albums by simply uploading those digital pictures you took of your summer vacation to a photo service like Kodak Gallery, which will assemble them in little booklets you can give as gifts.
