It is almost that time of year again.
It is almost Christmas time.
So I wanted to give you a few ideas about different gifts that you can give that are
actually budget-friendly, very simple and even more meaningful.
There are a lot of videos on YouTube about different ideas is for Christmas gifts,
but a lot of them are very expensive, even though they say they are budget-friendly.
But I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars on gifts for everyone this year.
So honestly, these are very budget-friendly gifts.
I am Tiffany Thomas with wealthytiffany. Com.
I am a millionaire and I have achieved
financial freedom. If you are looking to do those things as well,
hit that like button and hit the subscribe button and we are going to dive right in.
All right.
I want to share ten different simple and budget friendly gift ideas so that you
do not go broke over the holidays. And make sure and stick around until the very end
of the video because I'm going to give you a bonus gift idea.
All right. The first one that I want to share is
getting someone a membership or a virtual class or even an in person class.
I remember one year my mom really liked this certain magazine,
and so I got her a subscription to it, a membership to it for a year.
And she just had that come in the mail every month and she could peruse through
her favorite magazine and she didn't even have to pay for it.
And that magazine was not very expensive.
There's also a ton of different classes that are offered online right now.
So if you have a friend that is looking
to grow their business or even start their business, you could give them a virtual
class that helps them achieve that, that helps them get started in their business.
Or maybe there is someone who wants to expand their skills.
There's a lot of different courses
on Skillshare or even Udemy or even teachable.
And that way you are providing knowledge
and not just a gift that they may throw away later.
And you can also do in person classes and take that class with them.
I have done different dance lessons
which have been really fun and you can even do just a one time drop in.
And that is not very expensive, especially if it's your first time.
They usually give you a discount.
So some sort of membership or subscription or virtual class can be a really fun idea,
and they can actually be learning something from your gift.
Number two kind of goes along with still
learning something, and that is to give a book.
You can give one of your favorite books or
something that that person is interested in.
One year I did this for all
of my siblings, and I think I included my parents in it as well,
but I gave them the book, rich dad, poor dad. And I just ordered a bunch off
of Amazon, so I think I got a discount because I was buying in bulk.
But I love that gift because I was sharing
something that I was passionate about with my family, and that one is a really
good book, especially if they are just getting started in the finance world.
So I will leave a link to that below if you're interested in giving that book.
And of course, I have a Kindle book that I have created.
So I'll leave a link to that below if you want to share that book with anyone else.
All right. Gift idea number three is something that I
think is super fun, and it is a coupon booklet that you can make for someone.
I did this one year for someone that I was dating, and I just put in there a bunch
of different coupon ideas that he could redeem whenever he wanted to, for example,
a movie night or I would make him dinner or we could go get dessert.
There's a ton of ideas for coupon booklets on Pinterest, but just to give you a few
more examples, you could even say this is redeemable for doing the dishes for one
week or a weekend, getaway trip or watching a movie of your
choice or a road trip or going to a Museum or making a milkshake.
I personally love milkshakes. Or you could do a paint night or even just
a coloring night you could color in coloring books.
It can be something really simple or even just cuddling or a foot massage.
There's all different sorts of ideas
and really think about the person you are giving the coupon booklet to.
What would they really enjoy?
Or maybe it's something they really hate
doing and you can offer to do that and you can make a really cute template.
You can keep it very simple.
Just get some card stock and you can just
cut it into coupon sizes and then write the idea for the coupon on each one.
Comment below and tell me what gift idea
you would want in your own coupon booklet that someone would be giving to you.
And then gift number four is pretty awesome because it is the gift that is
going to keep on increasing in value instead of decreasing in value.
And this is to buy a stock for someone.
You can buy a fractional share of a stock on a lot of different websites.
I know Webull does that, so I will leave my referral link for them below,
if you're interested in buying
a fractional share of a stock for someone. I think this is awesome because you can do
this for your nieces or nephews, those that are younger that may not be
able to invest yet or really understand investing.
You can do this every Christmas for them,
and that will continue to add up in value over time.
So when they fully understand the gift that you're giving them,
they are going to love that gift.
And you can even just make a cute little coupon that goes with it.
That says, okay, I got you a share of Disney or whatever it might be.
So they're actually opening something up.
Gift idea number five is to give an experience instead of some tangible gift.
So you could say that you are going to take them to a Museum or take a road
trip together or go to a National Park together or even one year.
I did this for my niece and nephew.
I said they could have a sleepover
and aunt Tiff's. So it can be something very inexpensive.
But yet you are spending time with that person,
which I feel like is more meaningful than just giving a tangible gift.
You could even do a picnic or a backyard
camp out something really simple and inexpensive, but yet super fun.
I personally remember setting up the tent
in our backyard and we would have a bunch of our friends sleep over in the tent.
And it was just fun to be outside, even though we didn't go up
into the mountains somewhere and hike and then camp up there.
We just set it up in our backyard.
And I love that gift.
Idea number six is to do a cleaning service so you could offer to do
the cleaning of someone's house yourself, or even sign up with a cleaning service,
a cleaning company, and have them come and clean that person's house.
You can have it set up just for once
a month, for a few months, or if you want to go over there every week
and clean it for a month or two months, whatever it might be.
I think my sister would really love this service.
I know that she was given a cleaning service once, but she said she kind
of felt uncomfortable having strangers come in and clean her house.
So if it was someone that she knew,
she might feel more comfortable with that, and it's something very simple.
You can just go in and clean it's
just spending your time instead of your money on that gift.
And it's really meaningful because who doesn't love a clean house?
And then gift number seven is giving games
or puzzles something that a family could do together,
or even you could do with that person that you're giving that gift to.
I know I have a lot of friends that love playing games.
We play a lot of board games or card games, and it's just really fun to sit
around the table and play the game and be competitive or not so competitive.
And then also doing a puzzle is something that's really simple even for little kids.
They have the giant puzzle pieces.
I know I had a Mr.
T puzzle when I was little,
which was really fun, and the pieces were honestly super big,
but they can just set up that puzzle and do it with their family or friends
and interact with one another and just spend time together.
Gift Idea number eight is one of my favorites.
It is edible gifts.
My mom used to make Christmas candies
every year for I don't know how many years, especially when I was younger
and the kids would help her make these certain candies.
She would make caramels and licorice and divinity and toffee and fudge.
And I'm sure there were other Christmas treats that she would make,
but it was something fun that we could do as a family. And then she would give them
to all of our neighbors or even extended family members.
But it wasn't super expensive because she was just buying the ingredients.
And then we would make those edible treats together.
And I even remember our neighbors bringing over certain treats and they would have
a cute little tagline with it, a little card with it, that would say
something like, I hope it's a poppin' Christmas,
and it would be popcorn, something really simple like that.
It's just cute and it shows them that you
are thinking about them and it's very inexpensive.
And if you aren't sure what exactly
to make, there are plenty of ideas on Pinterest, and you could also include
the recipe with a certain item that you have made.
The Christmas gift idea number nine is
to give them a photo or even a lot of photos together.
I personally make a calendar every year for my parents, and I put in the calendar
different photos that had been taken throughout the entire year.
So my parents love that gift.
They have it hanging up on their wall all
year long, and they just switch to each month, of course,
and they get a look at new photos of the family every single month.
But you can also just print out a single
photo and get a really inexpensive, but cute frame.
I've gotten a lot at Walmart, actually,
and you can put that photo in there and then give that as a gift.
It could be a photo of you and that person together.
I've done this numerous times and every time people love it because who doesn't
like seeing photos, especially now where a lot of them are just kept on your phone.
And then Christmas Gift Idea number ten is to invite them over for dinner.
You can even do a potluck, so it makes it even less expensive for you.
You can have them bring certain items.
You can do the main course, but that way you are spending a lot
of time together, and it's something that's very inexpensive.
You aren't going out to a restaurant
and paying for food that way, and then you can be gathered together
for as long as you want to and not feel the pressure of having to leave
a restaurant because you feel like you've been at the table for too long.
And then I do have just a simple bonus gift idea for you,
and this one isn't quite as meaningful, but it's very simple and very useful.
It's to give someone a water bottle.
And I want to show you the water bottle
that my sister gave me a couple of years ago, maybe even three years ago.
I love this water bottle.
It keeps my water super cold for a really long time, and I like to use water bottles
quite often, so I'm not using a whole bunch of different cups,
and I take my water bottle with me to my Zumba class that I go to so you can
give someone a water bottle and they aren't that expensive.
But it's something that they can use again and again.
It's not just a one time gift that they're going to forget about.
Comment below and tell me what your favorite gift idea is
that is very simple and budget friendly and even meaningful.
I'm curious to know.
