Cheap? Or Frugal?

http://www.wral.com/news/strange/story/4699332/

Two brothers have been exchanging the same B-Day card since 1973. I think it's great! LOL

 

my daughter and her cousin have been exchanging the same birthday card for about 10 years now.

 

my dad and I have been giving each other the same photo-copied dollar bill, in birthday cards, since 1990.....

 

My sister and I have a silver ball that we've been exchanging for at least a decade. It's about the size of a Christmas ball, but has a bunch of decorative cutouts, and is hinged to open. So our gifts can't exceed the size of the ball, and we just keep exchanging it back and forth for all occassions with a little gift inside. Sometimes we get silly about it (like an I heart NYC thong) or sentimental. It's a lot of fun, we don't have to wrap anything, and it is usually pretty frugal.

 

oh, so my answer to the OP's question, is neither. it's just fun for me and my dad. :mrgreen:

 

I love it, and wish I'd thought of it! :jester:

 

I think its great, and what may have started as frugal became a great tradition between them and something for generations to come to see and pass down.

 

Now, that's just sweet.

 

that is sweet, i have a gift right now that i would love to regift to my bil - a pair of deer foot lamps handmade:lol:

 

Actually keep them for our Christmas party. :lol:

gag-gift $10 or under (or re-gift)
