Inexpensive Gifts

No one ever said gifts had to be expensive. Here are three ideas to get your creative juices flowing.

Gift of Laughter
If you are a regular reader of the comics in the newspaper or on the internet, start a file for the people you want to laugh and be happy. Clip out those comics that remind you of something the gift recipient would probably consider funny or one that indicates an interest such as golf or a place in life like a marriage or a new baby. Keep them in the folder until gift-giving time, then paste them in an expensive scrapbook or loose-leaf binder. Worth a chuckle each time they see your gift.

Gift of Chocolate
Chocolate can be a very inexpensive gift. Many people crave chocolate because of emotional associations and because chocolate seems to melt in your mouth. Buy a gift (or better yet recycle a gift bag) and fill it with luscious and inexpensive chocolate goodies.

Frugal Gifts Often Replace Dollars with Time
Choosing or making perfect and frugal gifts for your friends and family starts before you reach the store or craft spot. Think about each person's place in life and hobbies or interests. Allow a few hours for each person's gift and you can give them a gift of your time.
