1. Give your time – Personalized coupon book for family – hugs, doing a family members chores etc.
2. Bring coffee or tea for a co-worker – As a treat for a colleague, bring coffee (tea) and muffins, kolaches etc just for them one morning. Or you could offer to run out and bring back lunch for a busy co-worker.
3. Candy – Find interesting or colorful inexpensive candy and put in fun containers. Many craft stores sell decorated chinese takeout cartons to use as gift boxes. These are great gifts for teachers co-workers etc.
4. Make custom trail mix or gorp - Mix nuts, candy, dried fruit and chocolate chips and put in cello bags tied with ribbon. Peanuts and sunflower seeds are usually the cheapest nuts to use.
5. Soaps - Forget the really expensive French milled soaps, find unbranded soaps at drugstore and take them out of the box or plastic. Stack flat shapes and tie with a wide ribbon, or create a “birds nest” by putting soaps in round basket.
6. Recycle gifts as a group – To relieve financial pressure on everyone ask guests to recycle what’s in their closets. That scented candle you got last year for Christmas that you hated, another person might really like. Or just agree to swap $5.00 gift cards.
7. Cruise the thrift stores, flea markets and used book stores - You can find really unique stuff at these places for not much money. You can also check out online sites and get someone’s favorite book that has gone out of print for really low prices. I found a great cookbook a friend of mine had been looking for.
8. Charitable donation - Make a charitable donation to someone’s favorite charity or cause. No one has to know how much you spent and every gift helps.
