Find Inexpensive Gift Ideas That Make Them Feel Like a Million Bucks

Low on cash? That's okay -- these inexpensive gift ideas will carry you through any season

When money's tight and everyone's having a birthday, getting married, or moving away, inexpensive gift ideas start to become worth their weight in gold. The good news is that most people really don't care how much you spend on them. It really is the thought that counts, and if you put a bit of time and effort into your gift, they'll remember that far more than they would something showy, pricey, and useless.

Do it yourself

One of the easiest inexpensive gift ideas is to make it yourself. Exploit your talents. Can you knit? Make a baby blanket for the perfect baby shower present. Knitting for Charity has some great free knitting patterns to browse.

Do you love to draw cartoons? Create a caricature of the happy couple for inexpensive wedding gift ideas.

And of course, there's always food! My mother buys inexpensive wicker baskets at discount shops by the dozen. In the fall, she makes about fifty jars of jam and jelly. Then whenever a gift occasion comes up, she's ready! She packs one or two jars into a basket, adds a few chocolates, cookies, or tea bags, and wraps it in pretty cellophane. Everyone always loves her gifts all the more because they're homemade.

Get creative

In fact, gifts don't have to be things at all. If you're looking for inexpensive birthday gift ideas, why not create a coupon book of things you'll do for the person -- carry out the trash, a get out of homework free card, imagination is your only limit. You can also offer coupons for special treats, such as a night out at the movies with just the two of you.

You'll also find lots of inexpensive gift ideas at flea markets and craft shows, where people sell homemade, quaint, and attractive projects ranging from home harvested honey to handmade wooden furniture. Even if you don't buy, it's fun to browse.

Don't get overwhelmed when it seems like the whole world's in the market for presents. Just keep these inexpensive gift ideas in mind and remember that it really is the thought that counts.
