Summary

This time of year can be extra stressful as we try to find gifts for people who are hard to shop for, or we struggle with a tight budget for gifts. Can we give meaningful gifts that won’t cost too much? This week I’m sharing 6 ideas for doing just that. I hope these might inspire you and alleviate some of that last-minute stress! Snippet From the Show “When you’re struggling with a low budget, and you want to give people gifts, and you want them to be meaningful, that’s okay! It’s really encouraging to remember that it’s the thought that counts.” For episode shownotes, text GIRLFRIENDS to 33-777 or visit www.ascensionpress.com/girlfriends.

0:00.0	Hello, my friends, Danielle Bean here.
0:02.6	I'm going to be taking some time off from the show in order to celebrate Christmas with my family,
0:06.8	but I didn't want to leave you high and dry.
0:08.9	So we are rerunning this episode from last year where I shared some last minute low-budget gift
0:14.5	ideas, and I hope it's going to be helpful to you as you're wrapping up your preparations
0:17.9	for Christmas.
0:19.0	In the meantime, please know that I'm going to be praying for you this Christmas season.

0:27.5	I am praying that you and your family will have peace and joy as you gather and celebrate the gift of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.
0:36.5	Merry Christmas and God bless you.
0:42.5	Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom and I'm on a mission
0:48.4	to help you know your worth as a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and family living.

1:23.1	which is such a temptation this time of year, not stressing about the kinds of things that just
1:29.0	happen that are imperfect, that aren't what we planned, that aren't what we wanted.
1:33.8	We kind of build up these ideals of what the Christmas season is going to be and what our
1:37.4	Advent's going to look like going up to it. And I guess I've been through enough now that I have
1:42.4	a little bit of perspective. So I've really been
1:44.8	enjoying this Advent season. One thing that's really been bringing me joy is a playlist that I had
1:49.4	the opportunity to put together with Catholic Mom.com. I just solicited people's ideas for Advent
