After having wowed everyone with her great centerpiece ideas and tabletop decorations from the 99-cent store, Stacey Ballis is back with some great gift-giving ideas.

"I love giving gifts that are more than just one gift," says Stacey. "That's why I give kits." The following are the "Mack Daddy" versions of her kits but one or two of the items in them would be just as well-received as all of them.

For a sick friend:

This home remedy kit comes equipped with plenty of chicken soup, tea and honey, DVDs, trashy magazines, cough syrup and tissues. It all adds up to some great TLC when a friend is feeling under the weather.

For a friend with a new job:

Prepare them for their first day with office supplies, coffee, a thermos and thermal lunch bag, a set of silverware and a picture frame so they can keep a little piece of home with them in their cubicle or office.

For out-of-town guests:

Create a deluxe hotel experience for your guests with slippers, trial-size toiletries in case they forgot something, a bottle of water, local magazines or newspapers, a map, a subway or bus card, an extra set of house keys (be sure to ask for them back!) and some sort of local snack.

For a friend nursing a broken heart:

Nothing soothes heartbreak more than a cocktail, a good cry and some bad-for-you food, so stock this kit with a favorite bottle of liquor or wine, Kleenex, ice cream and chips (to satisfy both sugar and salt cravings), a CD of supportive (or angry) music, a fleece throw to get snuggly with on the couch, scissors to cut a certain someone out of all those pictures, a sleep mask and big sunglasses to hide the puffy eyes.
