Lots of people are on a tight budget as Christmas inches ever closer. We just don’t realise how close it actually is, until, BOOM. It’s smacked us square in the face with an earth shattering thud. Not to worry! We all know it’s the thought that counts…as cliche as that sounds. So here are some cute gift ideas for tight budgets. You should find some great gift suggestions!

Something Handmade

If you’ve got a tight budget, you can make just about anything if you make the time. Handmade gifts are perfect, because they’re so heartfelt. You didn’t just go to the shop and buy something. You made it yourself! That’s going to mean a lot to the receiver. You could make jewellery, food, scrapbooks, jars with love notes inside, and so much more. There are tutorials online if you don’t usually get creative like this. You could even write a song for them if you play an instrument!

A Day Out

Why not plan and arrange a day out? You can present it to them in a cool way, so it still feels like they have a gift to open. There are so many places you can visit with free things to do, like romantic walks and museums. All you may need to pay for is travel and food. You’ll make memories too, which usually last a lot longer than gifts!

Women’s Candles

Most women love candles. You can find candles of all shapes, sizes, and scents to suit the receiver. You can even find candles with cute notes on them, like this woman candle selection. You can even buy candle accessories to make the gift extra pretty.

A Clever Smartphone Case

Some smartphone cases double up as a mirror, while some shine lights on your face while taking a selfie so you have a professional looking picture. If the person you’re buying for loves a good selfie, this could be a great gift.

A Good Book

Books are always brilliant gifts. This will be especially meaningful if this book helped you in some way. Passing it on to them could do the same for them. You could even write them a cute note inside the book.

Costume Jewellery

You might not be able to afford fine jewellery, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy costume jewellery. It can be just as pretty but much cheaper!

Something To Drink

Maybe you could buy a bottle of wine or some cute miniatures. Some people are even covering wine bottles and glasses in glitter to make them look extra special.

A Framed Picture

If you have a great picture of the two of you, why not get a pretty frame? You could even make a frame. You don’t have to frame you two either. Maybe something that means a lot to them, like a pet. This will go down a storm, even though it’s probably the easiest thing on the list!

Hopefully you find something on this list that suits you. If you have your own suggestions, leave them below. Come back soon!
