We took a look at some great but cheap gift ideas for the festive season.
A DIY gift
These can be fun to make and personalize, and they often have a lot of sentimental value. For example, you could make a photo album or scrapbook, a knitted scarf or hat, or a handmade piece of jewelry.
Cheap Gift Ideas – A subscription to a service
This could be a monthly subscription to a magazine, a streaming service, or a meal delivery service. This type of gift allows the recipient to try something new and continue to enjoy it for a long time.
A gift card
Gift cards can be a great option for people who are difficult to shop for, because they allow the recipient to choose their own gift. You can often find gift cards for a wide variety of stores and services at a discount, so this can be a cost-effective option.
Cheap Gift Ideas – A potted plant
Plants can make a great gift, because they add life and beauty to any space. You can often find potted plants at a reasonable price, and they can be a long-lasting gift. I recently bought my parents a plant, and they loved it. The bonus over flowers is the lifespan of the gift – hopefully years, rather than a week or two.
A book
Books can be a great gift for people who love to read. You can often find books at a discount, and they make a thoughtful and personal gift. You could choose a book that the recipient has been wanting to read, or one that aligns with their interests or hobbies.
