Hi Sherri,
I know what you mean about the real meaning of Christmas....
I am taking alot of the kiddos stuffed animals for them to bring to the nursing homes for the older people.
I know this is not gift ideas but it does put in preceptive about the real meaning of Christmas.....
As far as the gifts goes.... I know that don't know the meaning of costs so I think the coupon book is a great idea.
I know you can also make the kids some gifts...
If you have anything you are good at... maybe a scrapbook or buy some material and make the kids something.....
Also I am not sure if you qualify or not, but they do alot of Santa Bear projects in our area through the churchs and goverment offices...
Sorry I was not much help but I will continue to search and let you know!!!
