A Christmas Stocking Stuff Gift

Festive Holiday Oatmeal

Here's a great little stocking stuffer idea that will be super cheap for you.  Make some pre-mixed flavored instant oatmeal that is functional and decorative.  The video below explains the recipe, but the key to this gift will be in presentation and the container that you deliver the gift in.  

Container Types
Consider high end plastic containers like the Rubbermaid containers seen here.  These containers will last long into the new year and the red top fits the Christmas theme of the gift.  The best part about this gift is that most of the ingredients can be bought using grocery coupons that frequently run in the paper.

Eat Oatmeal, Save Money

Oatmeal is one of the best values you can find in breakfast or snack food out there today. It is highly nutritious, rich in fiber, and can be bought in 13-serving canisters on discount in many places for as little as one dollar. It can also be enhanced by adding your favorite dry fruits, Cinnamon, or honey.

 By regularly using oatmeal for breakfast or when you need a snack, you can easily save a great deal on your grocery bill while also contributing to your long term health.
