We have such a small apartment and NO extra room, and also our families have very small budgets for gifts this year due to both getting hit with the rough economy. I finally came up with a really good idea. I asked for cans of cat food that I could donate to a local shelter where I volunteer every week. It would bring me a lot of joy to be able to donate some items to them, and it would still give me something to open on Christmas Day. (Let's face it... I know a lot of people decide mutually to "not do gifts", but I could never do that. I think that since gifts is my love language, even opening up something small would be important to me.)
