Smart or cheap ?


I am always on the lookout for sale items to add to my stash 
of quick gifts to embroider.
JC Penney sends me $10 gift coupons several times a year.
 A few years ago I spotted this set for exactly $10.
Using my coupon I ended up only paying the $.60 tax.

 

My niece lives in Wyoming and I thought it would make a perfect gift for her.
For $.60, a little thread, stabilizer and about an hour of my time, she now has a very personal gift.
What do you think - smart or cheap?
