Check out our suggestions for Inexpensive Holiday gifts! Save money this season with these fun suggestions! Most of these ideas are only a couple of dollars.
For the holidays, I always want to give a little gift to the people I work with. However, this is about a dozen people, so I have to be frugal and keep the gift cost between $1 - 2. I give everyone the same gift to keep it simple. This year, I am making little sets of jams and lottery tickets.
On the tag, I wrote, "have a sweet holiday and a prosperous new year". So the jam represents the "sweet" and the lottery ticket represents the "prosperous". Half of the gift is the packaging, so I put each gift in a cellophane bag with some rafia stuffing, added a lable, and then tied it together with a bow. Total cost = about $2.25.
Hi Friends!
These gift ideas are great to buy in bulk too! I can get many of these things at the dollar store or on amazon If your dollar store doesn't have them, check online.
I also find that I can change these up for other holidays. These make great cheap birthday gifts or get well gifts too! You can put together cheap gifts for under $5 that are cute and innovative!
These are also great inexpensive gifts for coworkers. I love that I can give my coworkers a little something without breaking the bank.
