A Budget-Friendly Holiday Gift Guide

This year hasn’t been the norm for anyone; however, with the holidays coming up, it still can be a joyous time of year. If you are trying to stay within a budget, this guide can be an excellent tool to use while you are shopping during the holiday season!

If you enjoy making homemade gifts

Sometimes there is nothing like a homemade gift. Below are a few ideas on what to make for someone!

  • Brownies or cookies in a jar

By placing all of the dry ingredients in a jar, all that will need to be added are the wet components! For a cute decorating idea, you could put the ingredients in a mason jar, put a festive cloth underneath the lid and seal! You could also tie a piece of twine around the lid and punchole a piece of paper on it; you could write what the dessert is and cooking instructions!

  • Homemade facial scrubs

These can be super fun, especially if your loved ones are into skincare. A simple concoction for a homemade facial scrub can be honey, sugar, and an essential oil! These can be put into small mason jars.

  • Canned goods

Canning has been a tradition for over 200 years, so why stop the tradition? Simple canning ideas can range from making salsa, tomato sauces, and vegetable soup!

If retail is the route you prefer

So making gifts isn’t really your thing. Retail is always a consistent backup! 

  • Succulents

Succulents: the plant that thrives on isolation. This plant is great for anyone who is inattentive with watering their plants. Succulents can go weeks without watering; the less you water them, the happier they are!

  • Framed photographs

Since we are in a digital age, printing out photos isn’t as common anymore as everyone stores their photos on their phones or in the cloud. By finding a quality frame, it makes a memorable gift that can last a lifetime. You can print out photos for under one dollar at locations such as CVS and Walmart!

  • Coffee mug and local coffee beans

Good coffee often goes unappreciated. For a quality gift that can still be in your budget, find a nice mug and visit your local coffee shop to buy their coffee beans. Not only are you gifting a unique gift, you are also supporting a local business!

Subscriptions: The gift that keeps on giving!

What’s great about subscriptions is that they are a continuous gift for how long the subscription lasts!

  • Magazines

Although magazines are becoming less popular, they are still fun to read! If a loved one is a bookworm, subscribing them to a magazine would be a great gift idea. For instance, you can get a magazine such as Better Homes and Gardens for only $5 a year!

  • Birchbox

If you are gifting for a makeup fanatic, BirchBox is the subscription for them!

By taking a quiz that matches the interests and likes of the person you are gifting for, Birchbox puts samples of face creams, perfumes, and makeup in a box every month. You can choose either three months, six months, or a year!

There are plenty of ways to save money when it comes to buying gifts. If you aren’t creative, retail is always a safe option with a variety of choices to choose from! Shopping should never be stressful or overwhelming. It should be fun as you are picking out a gift for a loved one!

Happy shopping and happy saving!
