Cheap Christmas Gifts don't have to be disappointing - in fact, sometimes the least expensive gifts are the most memorable, especially when they're chosen with care. Homemade Gifts and small, thoughtful store-bought gifts can brighten a recipient's holiday no matter what the gift budget. Think outside the gift box to find the perfect cheap Christmas gift this holiday season.
Cheap Christmas Gift Ideas
- Custom printed tee shirt: companies like Zazzle, Cafepress, Spreadshirt and MySoti will let you customize and print a single tee shirt, making it easy to make special shirts for friends and family members.
- Baked goods: cookies, cake and pie make excellent gifts, and are relatively inexpensive. They can be tailored to the taste of each recipient or (in the case of cookies) made in large batches and separated into decorative boxes, jars or bags for gift giving.
- Books: reading is good for the brain, but books often get left out of holiday gift planning even though they're relatively inexpensive and make ideal presents.
- Gift Cards: they can be loaded up with just about any dollar amount, and recipients can choose how to spend the money. Everybody wins!Baltimore Sun: A not-so-simple gift (November 23, 2008)
- Time: arrange to take a class, go on a nature walk, learn a new language or plant a tree with your intended recipient. Spending time with a friend or family member is the best kind of gift there is.
