Gifts on Small Budgets
We all need to gift things to others time after time. Sometimes it is out of social obligations and others out of love. Whatever the reason, there are times when you are tight on budget. Taking out extra money pinches your pocket. Here are some ideas that can help you:
You need to realize that it is not necessary to buy expensive gifts. Even a less expensive but meaningful gift goes a long way. Use your imagination and see how easily you can make something special in budget. For example: a piece of child’s artwork can be framed or used as a wall calendar for the grand parents. If you are good at knitting or crotchet you can make a stole or a hat of their favorite color. Easy patterns of throws and wraps are not difficult to find. Even a book mark is also a good idea if they like reading.
You can make a pouch for cell phone, sun glasses or makeup. Decorate it with buttons, beads and appliqué or you can embroider the initials to give it a more personal touch. If you know how to paint then buy plain tee shirts and paint something nice on it.
For a garden lover give a plant with a nice holder. You can even make a basket with garden kit, with some seed packets, garden gloves and collection of some garden tips downloaded form the net. Same you can do with cooking recipes.
Download some good recepies from the internet, write them on a handmade paper and put them in the basket with the ingredients of those recipes. Like – pasta, different sauces etc. For someone who is fond of pampering themselves, make some home made body scrubs or scented oils, put them in nice bottles and pack them in a basket with scented candles. There are many sites which show you the procedure to make spa products at home.
