Free or almost free

If you have a talent for landscaping, cleaning gutters, painting a room, or some other type of home improvement skill, there are likely many on your gift giving list who would love to have you share that skill. Clean up an older relative's yard, or clean out their gutters. If you are a good cook, consider preparing a meal and dropping it off to someone who could use a night off from preparing dinner. These are gifts that don't cost much but have a huge impact on a person's life.

Create a coupon book. Younger siblings will love a trip the playground, a game night with their older sibling, or some other adventure that you can treat them to. Make parents coupons that they can cash in for you to do a chore, fix dinner, wash the car, or anything else that you can think of that they would appreciate. Use your imagination to come up with some thoughtful ideas. Use your printer to create the coupon books.

 

Under $50.00

There are many great gifts under 50 that you can find for. It may be difficult to imagine that you can get great gifts for under $50, but you can. Thing useful items, such as a beautiful keychain, credit card wallet or a bookmark for the person who loves to read. A fashionable friend would probably love some earrings and there are many styles that can be bought for less than $50.00. One of the truly great things about choosing something like this as a gift is the fact that most people don't think to buy these items for themselves, but they are always happy to get them from someone else. Shopping online is one way to find great deals that you may not be able to find in your local stores.

 

$40.00 or less

Older siblings and even parents would enjoy a pair of movie tickets. These won't break the bank, they are something almost everyone can use, and it will give the lucky recipient an inexpensive night out. If the person you give these to has young children and you offer to babysit, the gift will be even more appreciated.

 

Get Crafty

Body scrubs are easy to make and many of them use items that you already have around the house. Make a batch and give them to mom, grandma, sisters, aunts, and friends. They'll love the way their skin feels once they use them. They smell great too.

If you have some fabric and can sew a straight line, consider making your own heating pads. Fill a fabric tube with rice, sew the end closed and that's all there is to it. These 'heating pads', get heated up in the microwave and can be used over and over again. They work wonderfully when it comes to ease aching muscles.
