Eight Good Christmas Gift Ideas – That Won’t Break the Bank

Make their day without blowing your budget.

1.Quality Free Samples. Look out for tester-size samples companies give away. OK, may be not suitable as a main gift, but great for stocking fillers.

2.Points make prizes! Make the most most of reward points and vouchers you’ve saved up. Redeem them online, they’re often worth more that way.

3.Check out community websites which encourage people to give away things they no longer want – you’ll find all sorts of bargains, from furniture to bicycles.

4.What about An Experience Day? Days out have become a very popular gift idea. However, they can cost the earth, so why not create your own “experience day” to give as a present instead? Build it around your recipient’s favourite pastimes and go with them to enjoy the occasion together.

5.If your significant other loves posh perfume and make up brands, see if you can get them for less. There are several specialist comparison sites to tell you where to shop to get the one you want at the best price.

6. Foodie gifts. Go for really easy and cheap options like: A Chocolates Mug. Buy a pretty mug and fill it with colourful wrapped chocs. Another idea is a big glass jar filled with the nostalgic sweets of childhood or with all the dry ingredients for making cookies.

7.A recipe scrapbook. If your loved one is a fantastic cook (and you’re not!) make him or her a recipe scrapbook. Most cooks have recipes scribbled on pieces of paper “filed” in a kitchen drawer. Collate them and mount them nicely in a big attractive scrapbook.

8.Photo and graphic gifts. Technology can lend a hand to make personalised gifts that don’t cost a fortune.
