As a rule, we don’t typically spend more than a couple of hundred dollars on presents for Christmas, but we always have fond memories because of the little extras they find under the tree.

Some of the greatest cheap ideas for Christmas gifts we have given our children include books, because they love to be read to. Some of the books are even used. Find a used bookstore in your area and you will undoubtedly find books that will peak their interest.

Being one who enjoys woodworking, I have made several little hand-made wood toys (like a Tower of Hanoi, model airplanes and trucks). These will keep them busy for hours and are always fun to leave on the coffee table for others to enjoy. What’s great about this is that you can find all the free wooden toy plans on the internet to keep you busy for the next 100 Christmases.

You can also find used video games and other electronics from people who list them on your local craigslist site. We have never found the game disks to be too scratchy to play. Board games are also a favorite because they allow the family to spend time together. What is a better way to spend the holidays than to be with the ones you love? Now for the stockings we like to put little trinkets that will rouse their curiosity.

Children don’t require much to give them great memories. This year we are putting tiny pen light flashlights and body spray. All children like to shine lights on the ceiling in the bedrooms. For the little girls (we have two), we have put a little doll int heir stocking as well. We also buy an ornament every year for our children for them to put on the tree next year.

The little money that we spend on Christmas gifts have a lot of love put into the small presents that they receive. Make sure your children know you love them no matter what they receive.
