This year I found a vendor that made “angel feather” ornaments for $.25 each. I bought 20, and I am giving one to every person on my “acquaintance” list. I only spent $5.00, and I have a gift for everyone. My secret to finding the best prices at holiday bazaars: attend the small, local church bazaars. They are more likely to have cheaper prices, because they are raising money for the church and just want to sell the items. Big bazaars tend to have professional vendors who charge more for their products.

Another idea I sometimes use is baking. You can make all of the gifts at once for as cheap as you choose. People also usually like home-baked goodies. If you have diabetics on your list, there are diabetic-friendly mixes available. My grandfather is diabetic, so instead of a bunch of holiday cookies, I buy him fresh fruit and some sugar-free candies. One year I made him a sugar-free pudding pie. One way I have specifically celebrated with co-workers is by bringing in goodies for everyone to share at work. I make a sign explaining that

I wish them a Merry Christmas, and the goodies are from me, and I set out the sign and the treats in a common area. People like this because they can have a treat to snack on at work. It cheers up the office a bit, too. You can get away with bringing less treats this way, if you are on a tighter budget.

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 the 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 put a little doll they can take care of and which bring them comfort. 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.

The first option is an oldie but always a good one. Homemade treats are a way to not only show you care, but also to show off your cooking skills. A ½ dozen cookies wrapped in cellophane and a bow is great for a co-worker. For your boss, consider going for a full dozen if not two. For neighbors, figure on at least three cookies for each person in the household.

Another great option is to bundle a package or two of microwave popcorn with a movie rental certificate for co-workers giving them a snack and entertainment themed gift. Similarly for neighbors go with a box of popcorn or even get an inexpensive basket and put the popcorn packs in it with a movie certificate.

A third option is to go to your local craft or hobby store and pick out Christmas ornaments that are either unfinished or that can be personalized with the receiver’s name. If you go this route try to pick ornaments that mean something special to the person receiving it like a reminder of a hobby they have or a favorite place. There are lots of other options, just look around and think of some of the little things you have received that meant something to you. Another great resource is to look online for gift ideas that you can make or buy inexpensively.

You’ll feel better for sharing the spirit of the season with friends and co-workers so go for it!

One great idea that can cost relatively inexpensive is a gift basket. This basket can be filled with different candies, movies, or other trinkets. The basket’s total cost likely would be under fifty dollars, yet can pack a punch. Another idea is sand art or a kit for a whole bunch of sand art. Sand art is always a hit at shows and carnivals, and would be a great inexpensive gift for your kid.

A gift that can be an added gift would be a Christmas day trip to the zoo. Most zoos are open on Christmas and offer cheap rates on that day. Kids always love animals and it would be a great trip for the whole family! Gift certificates can also be inexpensive and a popular location would be a movie theater. Most theaters have arcades as well so it’s a day of fun for the kids.

Board games are also great gifts. Popular games out there such as monopoly, trivial pursuit, life, and a whole bevy of other games are inexpensive yet are great gifts. These gifts can be used for years and are always great when there is nothing to do at night. Baked goods are also inexpensive. Anything that you can create are usually cheaper than the newest video game system or hottest music player.

For a boyfriend or girlfriend, try starting with their favorite hobby. If your flame loves bird watching, start from this point, and head to your nearest thrift or secondhand shop. Scan the walls for framed robin photos or prints, and browse the kitchen section for a lovely little oriole dish. The personalized nature of the gift will mean more than the cost, and the present will remind your partner of your great listening skills.

For office gift giving, think small and utilitarian. A $5 Starbucks gift card is inexpensive, and since any drink can be covered by the card, it comes across as very thoughtful and generous. Think of other inexpensive replacements for costly gifts this year. Instead of truffles, try sweet popcorn. Rather than a bottle of wine, try a bottle of bitters or other bar accessory. By selecting something that is a small part of a larger set, like a crystal swizzle stick, your gift will fit into the recipient’s life, and your gift will find a prominent place on the recipient’s kitchen counter. Your small thought is now a daily part of someone’s household.

For children, remember that bigger can often times be better. Young children will adore a large inflatable toy, even if your gift only cost pennies. Large plush toys are also great of course, but can be more costly unless won at a carnival or fair. Your kids will also love a used game or toy. Check out your local video rental shop for used video games, and create a neat box for presentation. They will love the gift!
