0:00.0	Girlfriends, episode number 252, six last-minute, low-budget gift ideas.
0:09.9	Hello, and welcome to Girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a mission to help you know you're worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy in family living.
0:21.9	This week we are talking about last minute, low budget gift ideas.
0:25.4	I know you need some of. How's your advent going?
