Gift-giving on a college budget

Christmas is only a few weeks away and if you aren’t sure of what gifts to put together, here are some ideas that won’t empty wallet.

The first thing to note: whom you are shopping for and what might they like is important. Once you find out enough information about the person’s interest, you start to plan gifts.

All the stores have gifts at low prices, from bath soaps to candy bars and home goods. You might want to consider pre-made gifts if you want to make things simple.

Children always have a favorite character or something they collect.

You can find character gifts like a toothbrush set, body lotions, puzzles, toys and even clothing with character prints on it.

There are also many gift options if you’re buying for women.

A lot of women like to carry lotion, hand sanitizers and lipstick or lip gloss in their purses or backpacks.

Others might want to have a reusable water bottle, or a coffee mug so that they can take their favorite drinks with them when they’re on-the-go.

Also, women like jewelry and that’s one of the top-rated gifts you find everywhere.

You can find these gifts in nice fancy boxes and all you will have to do is add a final touch by adding a card.

For men, scarves are popular and can make a nice gift that is also practical for these chilly winter months.

You can also give coffee mugs if the man you’re buying for likes coffee. Another great gift for men is simply anything they like to eat.

If they love candy, buy them a set of their favorite candies.

Many people prefer to give out gift cards, that way the person can buy whatever they want. But taking the time to choose a personalized gift can really make a person happy.

Depending on how much you want to spend, you can create your own gift with as many items as you want.

Gifts that will be kept for a lifetime are pictures.

If you have nice family picture and you want to give that as a gift, make sure it’s in a nice picture frame and you give a card with it.

When giving out clothing, make sure you know what size the person you’re buying for is. The kind of clothing that is most likely to get used is a set of pajamas.

It’s best to avoid buying other types of clothing unless you really know the person’s style and you are sure they will like what you get them.

Get creative with your gift if you don’t mind spending too much.

Buy nice wrapping paper or a bag and always add a card with your gift and add your reasons why you selected that gift.

For example, a nice message would be, “I got you a coffee mug because I know how much you love coffee,” and that can complete your great holiday gift.
