So you're strapped for cash this holiday season and you only have 16 shopping days left until Christmas. What do you do?

You could look through your closet for that candle you never used that you got from your Aunt Susie last year, but you can't bear the thought of getting busted for re-gifting.

You could always search Pinterest for some fun and cheap DIY gift ideas, but you already know that that'll be a big, fat fail because you are not crafty at all.

You'd prefer to buy everyone on your list something nice but you just can't afford it. Sad face. What about giving them something you got for free?

These five free things on Rockford's Craigslist could easily be used as Christmas gifts:
