This year's secret is out about Oprah's Favorite Things 2008, which aired on November 26th. The show this year was very different from past year's shows where the audience received several thousands of dollars in gifts.
The primary focus of this years Oprah's Favorite Things 2008 was to show you how you can get through the holiday season without spending a ton of money. Oprah was very wise to do a show like this considering the financial state that the country is in and showing people some creative options to purchasing gifts and giving gifts that are more heartfelt.
Oprah's Favorite Things 2008 was a combination of things such as Gratitude boxes, which Oprah says is one of her all time favorite things and she still, does it to this day. You can make or buy a Gratitude box for as little as $2 and place heartfelt notes inside to the person. These notes can be from just one person, friends or family. Words from the heart mean much more to people than something you buy them.
Oprah made a list of her favorite holiday music hits and in the spirit of the season she made both the music and the CD cover art available for download at her site including artist Faith Hill singing "Joy to the World", Aretha Franklin singing "Silent Night", Josh Groban, "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear", Tony Bennett, "I'll be Home for Christmas" and many, many more of this season's hits sung by today's hottest artists.
Another great gift idea from the Oprah's Favorite Things 2008 show was a Treasure Box. They cost about $12 and inside you can put numerous keepsakes for your family, friends and children. You can buy some file folders and put them in there and date or tag them however you like. Inside the folders place special photos, report card, awards, anything you can think of that would mean something to that person. Start one for your best friend and then maybe they will add to the box and on different occasions you can give them something else to add to their Treasure Box.
Hot Chocolate becomes more popular as the temperature goes down. For just a little bit of cash you can make people a gift they will truly enjoy...Hot Chocolate Cones. Simply take a few moments to find a recipe online to make your own hot chocolate, add marshmallows and chocolate chips and place it all into decorative candy bags or piping bags found locally at a craft store. Then just decorate simply with a bow or some added ribbon for an added extra touch.
Gift Baskets are a great inexpensive gift when you are making them yourself and the things that go into them. So if you are a person who loves to bake or make cookies, candies, or do any kind of canning, these would all make great items to put in a Gift Basket to give as a gift to family and friends. Great gift ideas like this from Oprah's Favorite Things 2008 show can all be done with a little effort and not that much expense. Try a Swap party; it can be for children, or a group of friends. Set a price and everyone brings a gift and either you can pull names or numbers and choose your gift. You bring a gift and leave with a gift and everyone had a great time doing it and had the pleasure of being together.
