Budget Xmas gifts

[SCQ86]

I have 3 boys and 2 of three have been misbehaving lately. To the point where one has been very defiant and the the other well, he's 21 and he's been disappearing for days. I would like too get them budget friendly gifts, but one where they kind of remember to behave. I don't want to get them something they want, cause I want to put my foot down with them....so do any of you have any suggestions?

21 years old? That's definitely an age when they can get things they need instead of things they want. Does he have a car? If so, how about a gas gift certificate for whatever amount you are thinking....Does he go to school? Work? Does he need a new work shirt? Does he need a new pair of sneakers? A new winter coat?

Does he make dinner for the family or for a girlfriend ever? How about a dinner basket - sauce, pasta, parm cheese - all in a collandar and wrapped up nice.

Does he bring lunches to work or school? A new small cooler.

How about this -

bag of chocolate coal - Walmart $1 - for their behavior
Big Hershey's Kiss - $3 - because you still love them even when they act up
picture of the family
phone card or cell phone minute card
address book w/their address in bold on the inside cover

Those are some great ideas!
