I wasn't sure we could come in under last year's Christmas budget ($40 for both kids), but I gotta say, we really lucked out this year with some amazing secondhand finds. The total for both kids this year was a whopping $11.99 - special shout-outs to the awesome friends who keep us in mind for their hand-me-down toys!

​Alice's Gifts:

A Polly Pocket playhouse ($0 at the Swap Shop); a jewelry stand ($0 as a hand-me-down from a friend); an LOL art kit + LOL doll ($1 at Dollar Tree and $0 as a hand-me-down from a friend); a Mini Boden butterfly skirt ($3 at Goodwill); and two unicorn shirts ($0 as hand-me-downs from a friend.)

Alice's gift total: $4

Otis's Gifts:

A set of 10 Bakugan ($0 as a hand-me-down from a friend); a video camera ($0 as a hand-me-down from me, since it was the gift I BEGGED for in college and kept for two decades!); a Denim + Flower hoodie sweatshirt ($2 at Goodwill); a Minecraft set ($0 as a hand-me-down from a friend); a draw your own story comic book ($2.99 on the clearance rack); and a Burton hoodie sweatshirt ($3 at Goodwill).

 Otis's gift total: $7.99
