Gift Ideas on a Budget That Don’t Look Cheap

Sticking to a budget can be difficult.  With many holidays and special events throughout the year, it’s important to think of budget-friendly ways to give a gift without looking cheap or causing offense. 

 

Give Homemade Items

 

One easy and inexpensive idea that can make a personal and unique gift is giving homemade items.  From baked goods to crafts, nothing shows you care quite like giving the gift of a homemade creation.  All it takes is a visit to a craft store, and you can buy cheap materials to make all your holiday and birthday gifts. 

 

Create Craft Items

 

Craft items, like a crocheted scarf, scrapbook, or a painting can also be an extremely thoughtful gift for any occasion.  If someone knows you have put your own time and effort into personally making the gift, that will be more important to them than the cost.

 

Make a Coupon Book

 

Another way to make something unique is by creating coupons or coupon books that can be redeemed by the recipient at their discretion.  Whether offering to do household chores or giving babysitting services, coupons can be a great gift for a loved one or friend.  These can be made as personalized as you want, adding a new layer of fun to the gift.


Give Gift Cards

 

Gift cards are another great idea for a birthday or holiday.  It’s easy to find many special offers and 2-for-1 deals on gift cards, making it easy to save big bucks.  Many companies, especially during holidays, will offer a free gift card with each one purchased, which gives you more gifts for other events.  Plus, the recipient can use them anytime, making it an ideal present.


Give Handmade Cards From the Kids

 

For kids, there are many ways to give great gifts without spending a lot.  Handmade cards make wonderful birthday or holiday gifts, which are cherished for many years to come.  Without spending any money, a card can be an ideal gift from a child to a loved one.  Gift giving is truly about the thought behind the gift, and not its cost.
