With Halloween on the horizon, the festive decorations are starting to appear in the seasonal aisles, and many people are already being asked the dreaded question “What do you want for Christmas?”
The answer is often a vague shrug, and with a potentially tighter-than-usual budget this year, you might be looking for smaller gift ideas – after all, it is the thought that counts.
So, with this in mind, this article will take you through some ideas and inspiration for gifts to give to your loved ones that will not break the bank.
A Unique Gift Voucher
There is always that one friend who seems to already have everything that they want, or they are impossibly fussy about the gifts that they receive. Was the well-thought-out pair of earrings you bought last year met with an unenthusiastic smile? Leave the frustration and awkward gift exchanges behind by giving them a gift voucher so they can choose their own gift. Giftsvouchers.co.uk offers a broad selection of stores that your fussy friend can choose from.
The World’s Smallest Twister
Twister is, hands down, a classic game to whip out for any party occasion. However, with the ongoing pandemic, there might be some reservations when it comes to non-household groups being on top of each other. No one wants to make Grandma ill over the holidays!
This is where the world’s smallest twister comes in. This compact game is a reasonably safer alternative to the traditional full-body game, as you are only using your fingers to cover the spots. Just remember to use any precautions that will make you and the party feel safer so you can enjoy the game fully.
It makes a great small gift for those who don’t want to have their post-Christmas dinner nap
Puzzles
Everyone loves a good puzzle to solve, and most of them don’t necessarily break the bank either. Mechanical puzzles like the classic Rubik Cube are great for people who enjoy the challenge of physically solving a problem.
Bob Ross’s Happy Little Puzzles offer another great type of puzzle. These sweet, easy to do puzzles will leave you with your very own little masterpieces, along with some of the well-renowned encouragement and love we all wish we had when we were teenagers.
Photos
What is a better gift than something that has been given from the heart, and made with love? If you are trying to find an idea for someone special in your life, there’s nothing more thoughtful than the memories that you’ve created over the years. If you are artistically inclined, you can go all out and create a whole decorated scrapbook filled with memories, photos, even tickets to events that you’ve been to together.
However, if art isn’t your forte, there are countless options online that will create photo books for you; all you have to do is pick the photos that you want to be included and compile them in the order you wish to. You could even create a calendar of your favorites for the coming year.
