Smart shoppers, like my dear mom, keep a gift closet stocked with cute things for everyday occassions. After all, how many times have you been invited to a party and rushed out in search of a hostess gift? If you have a gift closet, you can shop at home. In addition to picking up deals in stores as she spots them, my mom loves to get items online from Wisteria and use them when she needs to bring a thank you gift, send a get well token, or even as a thoughtful birthday bauble. You can get six adorable treats from these wooden Derby Critters pictured above. Add a cute gift bag, some grossgrain ribbon, and a personalized note -- and voila! Now that is "cheap and cheerful".

I like to doll up a cheap and cheerful gift- from the gift closet- by wrapping it in a dishcloth. A super cute one, of course, tied with a ribbon- two presents in one!
