Ok folks,

We've added to the list somewhat. Here is an longer list of possible
Yule gifts for the Viking gift exchange. Some of these will be around
$10 soem will be significantly under cost. If that is the case consider
making a "gift pack". For instance, duct tape is only $2-3. So why not
wrap up 1 roll of duct tape, 1 roll of fiberglass strapping tape, and1
roll of black electrical tape. That should be about $10. Or the enamel
paints the enameling guild is using are a couple of dollars each. Throw
together 2-3 bottles of paint, 1 wide brush, 1 narrow brush, and some
patterning paper. Cool, eh? Is the fabric too expensive for several
yards as a gift? How about 1/4 or 1/2 yard of wool, silk, or linen plus
a pattern pack of coifs, pouches, or gloves. Hope this helps!

Grace and Peace,

Jovian and Zaharra
