That\u2019s the thing, we can get so caught up with fancy gifts and expensive brand-name products that we end up spending a fortune.<\/p>\n
When I look back though, I realized that it was usually the gifts that didn\u2019t cost much (like these DIY holiday gifts<\/a>) which were most appreciated.<\/p>\n I bought my Dad a wine foil cutter as a stocking stuffer one year, next to his main gift, and years later, that\u2019s the gift that\u2019s still well used!<\/p>\n I also realized that some items that cost very little, looked very substantial, like a throw or a poster.<\/p>\n I abandoned the shopping cart, and started making a list of presents that were cheap, but also good!<\/p>\n Today, I\u2019m going to share my list of 50 cheap (but great!) Christmas gifts with you.<\/p>\n We all earn a different income, have different bills to pay, and live in different places \u2013 so what we spend and how much stuff costs can also differ.<\/p>\n For you, a $20 gift might be cheap and for others that might seem on the more expensive side.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why I\u2019ve categorized my inexpensive gift ideas by price, so you can find presents that suit your budget.<\/p>\n Join SavvyConnect Now<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Let\u2019s just say, although some presents may be more expensive, none cost more than $25!<\/p>\n So when January comes around your bank balance should still be intact!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s get started on that list\u2026<\/p>\n I\u2019m going to start my list with gifts that you can get for less than 5 bucks, because who doesn\u2019t want to spend that little?<\/p>\n Gifts for less than $5 are awesome, whether you\u2019re only a really tight budget, have a lot of people to buy for, or want something for a work colleague.<\/p>\n From covers that feature the works of artists like Van Gogh to cutesy designs featuring farm animals, notebooks make a great gift for family members of all ages.<\/p>\n And on websites like Amazon and Walmart, you can get notebooks for less than $5, like this cute kawaii donut one<\/a> or this funny taco one<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is another gift I\u2019ve given before with great success. You can find coffee mugs that cost less than $5 at Walmart and Target. Coffee mugs are one of those gifts that looks more substantial than what you paid for it. Plus, you can find a mug that suits the recipient!<\/p>\n For the artistic people in your life, a nice sketchbook is a great gift! You can get them for less than $5. Plus they make great gifts for people of all ages. Kids will love this super cute farm animal sketchbook<\/a> that costs just $3.62!<\/p>\n I know that people think of socks as sort of a dull gift. But they\u2019re so useful. Since the washing machine or dryer seems to somehow leave us with one sock, lots of us end up with a drawer full of odd socks.<\/p>\n So give someone a pair of socks this year \u2013 they\u2019re always appreciated. Plus, you can get funny ones, fuzzy ones, and brightly colored ones \u2013 so there are plenty of options to choose from.<\/p>\n You can get socks for less than $5, like these Women\u2019s \u201cCat-lifornia Roll\u201d Roll Low Cut Socks<\/a> from Target, which cost just $1.50! Or these Men\u2019s Human Knowledge Mr. Mustache Crew Socks<\/a> that cost just $4.99.<\/p>\n Aside from Halloween, Christmas is probably the time of year that most people really indulge their sweet tooth!<\/p>\n That\u2019s why candy can make such a great gift!<\/p>\n It can be really inexpensive too.<\/p>\n You can get this Hershey\u2019s Holiday Filled Candy Cane<\/a> for just $1 at Target, and this Skittles Filled Christmas Candy Cane<\/a> for just a $1 as well.<\/p>\n You could buy a few different types of candy and still spend less than $5.<\/p>\n You can get ballpoint pens that cost less than $5 in a variety of colors at Walmart and Target, and there\u2019s also some available on Amazon for less than $5.<\/p>\n For friends, family members, and coworkers who love to bake, these cookie cutters<\/a> from Amazon make the perfect gift. You get 8 different cookie cutters, and the pack features lots of different shapes, like stars, hearts, dinosaurs and Mickey mouse. The best part is that it costs just $4.99!<\/p>\n If like me, some of your friends, family members or coworkers like skincare, then a face mask can make the perfect holiday gift.<\/p>\n And Target<\/a> is definitely the place to go for them. At Target, you can find tons of different masks that cost less than $5! There are mud masks, peel off masks and much more!<\/p>\n Since many of Target\u2019s face masks are priced between $1.99 and $2.59, you could buy a couple of them!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at Christmas gifts that you can get for less than $10!<\/p>\n I mentioned this before, but for anyone who loves wine, a simple foil cutter is a practical and also thoughtful gift. You can get them for less than $10 on Amazon! This one comes with an engraved gift box and costs just $9.99! There are lots on Amazon that cost just $5.99 too!<\/p>\n On Amazon.com, you can get some stylish and useful cosmetic bags for less than $10! Take a look at this one<\/a> for $9.98 with free shipping, or this one<\/a> that\u2019s just $7.99 with free shipping.<\/p>\n You can get recipe cards for less than $10 from Walmart. These veggie recipe cards<\/a> cost just $7.99, and these cute floral design recipe cards<\/a> cost just $9.99. Recipe cards make great gifts for friends, family members, and coworkers who like to cook.<\/p>\n We all have those favorite ornaments that we love to hang on our tree. I have these traditional Bavarian-style Santa ornaments that I particularly love. For some people, it\u2019s Harry Potter ornaments or ornaments of woodland creatures. I remember getting my sister an owl ornament for her Christmas tree, and she really loved it.<\/p>\n Christmas tree ornaments cost less than $10, but they make great gifts.<\/p>\n You can pick them up at Walmart, Target, and Amazon for less than $10!<\/p>\n A couple of years back, I bought a bunch of frames in TJ Maxx. Then I printed out some photos of my family, put them in the picture frames, and gave them to my parents as an anniversary gift. They loved it, and those frames are still sitting on the sideboard today.<\/p>\n People love getting framed photos because they\u2019re so personal.<\/p>\n Print out a photo you know the recipient would like, put in a picture frame and it will make an awesome gift for their desk at work or that they can display in the living room!<\/p>\n Sure, you can get more expensive photo frames, costing $20 or $30, but there are plenty of frames on Amazon, Target, and Walmart that cost less than $10.<\/p>\n You can pick up a hat for less than $10 if you shop on Amazon, Target and Walmart. Hats make a great gift for men, women, and children, and all age groups as well.<\/p>\n With gloves available for just $9.99 on Target and Amazon and with many available for even less than that, gloves are a gift you can get for less than $10. Gloves are so useful during the winter months that pretty much anyone\u2019s going to appreciate getting them as a gift this Christmas.<\/p>\n Help your friend, family member, or coworker get organized this year with a 2020 diary!<\/p>\n This is another gift that can look more substantial than it is.<\/p>\n For super-organized friends, a simple diary might not be enough \u2013 the planner is what they need! You can get daily, weekly, and monthly planners.<\/p>\n Planners don\u2019t cost too much, and they look pretty substantial. Plus they are a gift that the recipient will actually get some use out of.<\/p>\n A keychain is a nice-to-have item that pretty much no-one buys for themselves. That\u2019s why keychains make the perfect holiday gift. You can get one that suits the recipient\u2019s taste as well, as there are so many different keychain designs available.<\/p>\n A wallet is essential, yet it\u2019s one of those things we just don\u2019t think to buy for ourselves. How often do you see people with dusty, torn, and haggard-looking wallets? Quite often, I\u2019d guess!<\/p>\n That\u2019s why a wallet can make a great holiday gift. With lots of different designs available, you\u2019re sure to find a great one for your friend, family member, or coworker.<\/p>\n A calendar is another great gift idea for Christmas, because well obviously in the New Year, a lot of people need a Calendar!<\/p>\n You can get hip flasks on Amazon and Walmart for less than $10! This present is great on its own, and it goes well with other alcohol-related gifts.<\/p>\n Do you have a friend, family member, or co-worker who loves to travel? Then you might want to get them a travel guidebook as a gift this year. Target<\/a> has lots of travel books that cost less than $10. You can get them for places ranging from Europe to Central America.<\/p>\n Lots of people like sleep eye masks, which is why they make great gifts! You can even get ones that contain lavender.<\/p>\n I think that the French manicure is a classic \u2013 that\u2019s why it never goes out of style.<\/p>\n You can get French manicure kits for less than $10. This one<\/a> from Walmart costs just $8.72, and this one<\/a> from Sally Hansen costs just $8.05 on Amazon!<\/p>\n For friends who love to travel, or like to enjoy a coffee on their commute, a travel mug can make an awesome gift. You can get them on Amazon at great prices, like this one<\/a> that costs just $8.99.<\/p>\n $15 for a gift is pretty great. So if you\u2019re looking for some presents that cost less than $15, give these ideas a try.<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s a poster of a Van Gogh piece or a motivational quote, posters make a great gift for the holidays. Plus you can get them on Amazon for anywhere from $10.99 to $15! Walmart is another place that has really cheap posters for sale. You can get posters on Walmart for less than $15.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve bought Yankee candles as gifts for many of my family members in the past, and they\u2019re always one of the most well-received of the presents I give.<\/p>\n The great thing is that you can get Yankee candles for less than $15 on Amazon and Walmart. I\u2019m talking about the large jar candles here too, which look like a substantial gift.<\/p>\n Walmart and Amazon both have a great selection of scents on offer too, like Sparkling Cinnamon, Spiced Pumpkin, and Pink Sands \u2013 that means you have a great selection to choose from!<\/p>\n Cookbooks make a great gift for Christmas. That\u2019s what I got my mother-in-law this year because she loves to cook.<\/p>\n Now they\u2019re pretty inexpensive too, costing less than $15 on sites like Amazon and Target.<\/p>\n Like hats, scarves are a perfect gift for winter, and pretty much everyone will appreciate receiving one for Christmas.<\/p>\n For friends, family members, and coworkers who love journaling, buying them a new journal as a holiday gift is a great idea.<\/p>\n Costume rings can look super cute \u2013 and again you don\u2019t have to worry about losing them! You can get so many beautiful designs too, like gold rings with faux rubies and minimalist faux silver ones too.<\/p>\n Who doesn\u2019t love hot chocolate at Christmas? That\u2019s why getting a hot cocoa gift set for someone this holiday season is a great idea. You can pick them up in lots of places too, like Amazon, and at stores like Walmart and Target.<\/p>\n I love a good bottle of wine and so do many others. A bottle of wine doesn\u2019t have to be super expensive to be nice either. You can get a good bottle of wine for less than $15.<\/p>\n A throw blanket is always an appreciated gift. I have bought my mother-in-law one for this Christmas! You can pick up some really nice ones at low prices.<\/p>\n As someone with dry skin, I love skincare oils, from jojoba to almond oil. They\u2019re particularly good for the winter months when your skin seems to be drier. That\u2019s why they can make a great gift for the holidays. Now, you can get so many different oils on Amazon that cost less than $15.<\/p>\n I always know someone in my family who wants to learn an instrument in the New Year. Around Christmas one year, my sister decided she wanted to learn the ukulele, so I got her a book on how to learn it as a gift.<\/p>\n Music books, whether they\u2019re for the guitar or the piano, are pretty inexpensive, but if you know someone who\u2019s planning to learn a new instrument, then they\u2019re a thoughtful gift.<\/p>\n In this section, I\u2019m going to give you some Christmas gift ideas for under $20.<\/p>\n For the coffee-enthusiast in your life, this pour-over starter kit from Amazon<\/a> can make an awesome gift. In red or brown, this coffee starter kit costs just $18.45 or $18.85 \u2013 that\u2019s pretty great for a whole kit!<\/p>\n A coffee starter kit can look much more expensive than it actually is!<\/p>\n Everyone needs a cute and practical canvas tote bag to take to the grocery store or work or any other place really!<\/p>\n Tote bags are practical and you can get them with lots of different designs on them too. They\u2019re a great cheap gift idea that looks substantial as well.<\/p>\n Airplane seats are just not comfortable. Make someone\u2019s flight more comfortable with the gift of a travel pillow!<\/p>\n Brighten up somebody\u2019s desk at work or home with a fun action figure or figurine. Whether it\u2019s a character from their favorite TV show or book or a creature from Star Wars, there are plenty of awesome figurines you can get online that don\u2019t cost too much.<\/p>\n Costume jewelry is cheaper than sterling silver or gold stuff, but it looks just as good. Plus, if you\u2019re anything like me and you often lose or break stuff, you don\u2019t necessarily want a super expensive necklace. You can get plenty of statement necklaces, and trendy minimalist necklaces for really low prices if you go with costume jewelry.<\/p>\n You can get costume bracelets at low prices, which look awesome. I\u2019ve given costume bracelets as gifts to my family members, and they\u2019ve loved them! There are lots of different costume bracelets available too, so you\u2019re sure to find one that suits the recipient\u2019s style.<\/p>\n Even though a belt is an important accessory, a lot of people put off buying one because they just don\u2019t want to spend cash on one. That\u2019s why belts can make a great gift for the holidays.<\/p>\n Who doesn\u2019t love chocolate?<\/p>\n I sure do and plenty of other people I know love it too. Chocolate is one of those gifts that\u2019s pretty much always going to be appreciated. That\u2019s why a bar, gift bag, box or basket of gourmet chocolate bars or truffles is such a good idea for a holiday gift!<\/p>\n Craft or specialty beer is super popular nowadays. Lots of people love these beers, so a six pack of specialty or craft beer can make a great gift for the holidays.<\/p>\n A few years back my husband bought a portable phone charger for our city vacation. I was unsure whether we\u2019d actually need it, but we used it loads! It was so handy to have because if the phone\u2019s battery got low, we could just plug it into this little charger and it would charge it.<\/p>\n This one from Amazon<\/a> is just like it. What\u2019s great about these chargers is that they are so small \u2013 in fact, they\u2019re not much bigger than the size of a lipstick! So you can easily carry one around.<\/p>\n For the holidays a portable phone charger would make a great gift for relatives, friends, and co-workers.<\/p>\n So in this section, I\u2019m going to cover gifts that you can get for $25 or less. So if your budget is a little bigger, but you still want something that\u2019s relatively inexpensive, then give these gift ideas a try.<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s a sparkly cross-body bag or a quilted messenger bag, purses make a great gift for recipients of all ages.<\/p>\n I love a good sweater and many people do! That\u2019s why a nice sweater makes the perfect winter gift. You can get them from Amazon, Target, and Walmart for less than $25.<\/p>\n A lot of people enjoy a little whiskey over the holidays, making whiskey glasses an ideal present for Christmas.<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s a shaving kit or a beard kit, men\u2019s grooming kits make a great holiday gift!<\/p>\n These gifts are already cheap, but if you use these tips, you\u2019ll make them even cheaper!<\/p>\n Sites like Rakuten and Swagbucks will give you money back when you buy stuff.<\/p>\n Sounds almost too good to be true!<\/p>\n It\u2019s not though. You can, in fact, put money back in your pocket with these sites:<\/p>\n Now, the cashback rate you get can vary from site to site and from store to store.<\/p>\n One store might offer 2% cashback and another might offer 70%.<\/p>\n Even the 2% cashback is still a great saving.<\/p>\n You can look at this as one of those easy ways of making extra cash for the holidays<\/a>.<\/p>\n Coupons are great for saving cash. Whether it\u2019s a coupon code for $10 off or free shipping, coupons are awesome for keeping more cash in your bank account.<\/p>\n Here are some coupon sites you should check out:<\/p>\n Coupon sites are great, but let\u2019s be real here for a second: lots of coupon codes don\u2019t work.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been there \u2013 you try like five different codes and none of them work.<\/p>\n A good trick to use to get around this issue is to use a browser extension, like Honey<\/a> or Wikibuy<\/a>, which will automatically apply discount codes at the checkout.<\/p>\n Browser extensions like Honey or Wikibuy will automatically scour the internet for the best deals and apply the best ones to your order.<\/p>\n This can save you so much time! So in addition to bookmarking those coupon sites above, use Honey or Wikibuy to find coupons for you!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re shopping in-store, consider using rebate apps.<\/p>\n These apps will give you cashback just for uploading a photo of your receipt.<\/p>\n Some of these apps, like Ibotta, require you to purchase specific items in order to get your rebate.<\/p>\n Others though, like ReceiptPal will give you money for any itemized receipt.<\/p>\n This is such an easy way to save money on shopping.<\/p>\n Here are some rebate apps:<\/p>\n This is such a useful tip that really can save you a lot of money.<\/p>\n Basically, on gift card resale sites, you can buy gift cards at a discount.<\/p>\n For example, you could get a $20 Amazon gift card for just $18.<\/p>\n So you pay $18 and you still have $20 to spend.<\/p>\n Some gift cards are even more heavily discounted. You could get $10 off or more!<\/p>\n Here are some websites where you can find discounted gift cards:<\/p>\n Take a look at these sites for some great savings.<\/p>\n I was recently shopping for beauty products for my mom and sister. I saw lots of deals like get $10 off when you spend $50 on makeup form L\u2019Or\u00e9al.<\/p>\n I thought yeah, but I don\u2019t want to spend that much!<\/p>\n Instead, I looked out for deals that I felt actually saved me money.<\/p>\n I recently got two sleek palettes that were supposed to be $20 in total for $15. This is because the store was offering a buy one Sleek product get one half price deal.<\/p>\n Now, this was worth it, because I was willing to spend $15.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be tempted by offers with spending requirements that don\u2019t fit your budget.<\/p>\n $10 off when you spend $50 might seem like a good deal, but if you didn\u2019t plan to spend $50 in the first place, then it\u2019s really not worth your time.<\/p>\n
