Let’s face it, 2020 has been a tough year for most of us. However, the Christmas spirit is still shining brightly upon all of us.
Because of financial setbacks and physical distancing measures, Christmas this year will be a whole lot different than the previous years. We can still enjoy conversations around the Christmas tree with our small circle of loved ones.
Our gifting habits will have to change slightly, though. Some of us may resort to creating our own gifts to give to people. If you’re not into that, there are plenty of budget-friendly gift ideas your loved ones are bound to appreciate!
In this article, we’ll take a look at 4 cool gift ideas that won’t break the bank!
Christmas Hampers
If you have a large family or a lot of friends, sharing a Christmas hamper would make more financial sense compared to buying each of them a gift. Besides saving money, sharing a hamper is a great way to get together and strengthen bonds between family and friends.
Depending on your creativity, christmas hampers don’t have to be just about wine. You can spoil your loved ones with snacks too! For those in Australia, Hampers With Bite is a good place to look, as you can check their 2020 Christmas hampers range.
Olive Oil
If you’re on a budget but don’t want to look the part, a good bottle of olive oil is a great Christmas gift! You can wrap it nicely to make it look and feel premium when the oil itself doesn’t have to be.
The recipient won’t have anything to complain about either. Olive oil is a versatile ingredient. It goes great with salads, bread, pasta, and has many nutritional benefits to the point that some people actually eat on its own.
Olive oil can also be used to moisturize and rejuvenate hair, which is a big welcome in the winter!
Wallets
We all know a friend or family who’s carrying a worn-out wallet everywhere he goes. This is the perfect opportunity to surprise him with a new one! Yes, we’re approaching 2021 but cash is still a thing.
Wallets are inexpensive. You can get one for less than $10 that of decent quality. Here’s one thing people overlook: wallets have sentimental value. It may not cost much, but the recipient will always remember you when he looks at it!
Scented Candles
I’m not sure about you, but I sure do love a room that smells fresh. I’m sure your friends would come to appreciate the magic an inexpensive scented candle can do, too.
If you have the time, you can make these candles by hand fairly easy. It’s a fun way to gift your friends because these candles come in a variety of colors, shapes, and packaging.
Depending on how they’re presented, scented candles can look like premium gifts (in case you don’t want your friends thinking you’re a cheapskate!).
