(Nope, this is not my Christmas tree, but definitely wish it was mine)
Yayyyy, holidays are coming up!! Are you in holiday spirit yet? Because if you are, then it means it is about time to start shopping for the Christmas gifts. Instead of writing multiple posts on what to gift and for what age, I decided to pick only the gifts that everyone would actually LOVE to get for Christmas (including for yourself!) and best of all they are budget friendly & will show how much you care.
Before I start the list, I wanted to point out what to stay away from and it is Gift Cards. The Gift Cards way over the years became known as something that is usually given from people who did not know what to get or in other words, didn’t put enough thought into the gift.
I will jump right in with the BEST Christmas Gift Ideas for Everyone on Budget,
1 Utilize Online Sources
First and foremost, use the resources available online like Groupon if you don’t know what to get for the person. I’ve used Groupon so many times to just get the ideas for the gifts because as you browse around something will pop up whether its massage place, golf lessons, or gym memberships, and so much more. Check it out yourself and you won’t be disappointed, you will find so much on there that will save you from spending hours at the malls or other stores.
Some other best sites to just briefly browse through are:
Best Buy – You can Find Almost Anything
Newegg – They have some of the best deals on electronics I’ve ever seen.
2 Electric Toothbrush
Absolutely great gift for any age, you really can’t go wrong with this gift because nobody I know ever switched back to the old school brushing teeth way because it is just so convenient.
3 Earbuds
Everybody needs earphones and these are the best for the money you pay. I am on my 3rd pair in pas 8 years and you really can’t beat them after you try them. The quality of music is great and they are actually eliminating the noise pretty great as well. These are great for any age and especially the best to gift to your college friends that constantly change headphones or don’t have a pair.
4 A Book
Simply gifting a book to the person who you know loves to read is a fantastic gift, do they like romantic books? Do they want to get rich?
