Christmas is a-coming.
A time of celebration and togetherness, signified by a traditional exchange of presents and gifts. This means a shopping spree is shortly in order for you. But shopping for gifts is not an easy task. There are thousands of people in your social circles. Even if you do succeed to land those perfect presents for your immediate family and better half, what about the rest of the relations, friends, acquaintances, and coworkers? What should you buy for them without having to bore holes in your pockets?
Worry not. I’ve got a list of ideas for less costly gifts which can be cleverly given this holiday season. And the best part of all? They come under the $10 mark. Yes! Highly affordable. So, check them out below.
Something Sweet & Christmas-y
Chocolate is an eternally popular present. It never fails to bring a smile on someone’s face. So, this year, fill your friends’ stockings with some of those Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups ($9.98), Hershey’s Kisses ($9.98) and even those colorful Peanut M&M’s ($8.46). All of these can be purchased online from Walmart and in party-size stock too!
Something Warm
I love socks and think highly of this basic necessity. Why? Because it keeps the feet warm, which are the primary nodes from where a human body catches a cold. Plus, it’s such an inexpensive gift that it can easily be presented to the homeless shelter, in addition to friends & family. So, be more charitable this season and order some of those fuzzy socks online (5 pairs for $9.99 @ Amazon). Do good, have better.
Something Techy
People are highly reliant on smartphones these days. And one of the most crucial accessories that come with a smartphone and powers it up is a charger. Not having a charger at hand when your phone’s battery dies can usher in a lot of stress. So, help your less tech-savvy friends by gifting them a charger this Christmas. Intertek iPhone Charger with multiple-sized cables comes for $9.99 only. Whereas, iKits 42W 3-Port USB Wall Charger is available for $9.99 on Amazon. A Micro-USB Android Charger can be purchased for $7.99 easily. Cool, right?
Something Stylish
Got a friend with luscious, uncontrollable locks of hair? Gift them a pack of stylish hair ties and allow them to bring the chaos under control. These can go a long way and will definitely be appreciated as a handy necessity. You can get a 120-pack of glorious hair ties from Amazon for a puny $8.99! Moreover, delicate pendants are another stylish gift option for your more fashionable friends. Justinstones Gemstone Hexagonal Pointed Reiki Chakra Pendant Necklace is not only gorgeous to look at but comes for only $7.59 at Amazon.
Something Universal
For those uncles who love to watch cable television no matter where they are or which continent they’re on, a universal TV remote control can go a long way. This advanced gadget proposes to work with the TV sets of all brands. It’s available in various colors and different formats. You can easily order a GE Universal TV remote online for a simple $8.51. Or, if your uncle has a branded set-top box and a subscription to Spectrum Silver Package, then the best option would be to go for Spectrum’s own Remote Control. You can order it from Amazon for only $7!
Something Puzzling
For all your brainiac friends out there, what could be a better gift than a puzzle, a riddle or a brainteaser? They can enjoy their holidays and make the most of their leisure time by solving crosswords with a cup of coffee in hand. Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? And it’s pretty cheap too. You can order a book of 125 brainteasers from Amazon for a mere $9.40. While you’re at it, do get the “Of Course!” variety by Zack Guido.
Something Fragrant
Add some consideration to your gift selection by getting a perfumed powder for your nanny, senior colleagues or old friends. Gold Bond Powder would be an interesting and affordable choice for their vanity, available for a mere $6.81. You can also buy Old Spice Deodorant for $9.99 and gift it to your brother for a touch of humor.
Wrapping Up
So, do consider the aforementioned ideas for inexpensive Christmas gifts when you go on your eventual shopping spree, and you’ll be the better for it. Trust me!
