☺ Homemade or Gourmet Food: Giving food as a gift is both thoughtful and inexpensive. Gourmet candy and hot sauces can be bargains, and there is something to suit everyone on your list. Baking something and putting it in a fancy container is a great idea too. (If it lasts long enough to make it out the door…)
☺ Festive Socks: They’re a great way to add a splash of personality to a wardrobe, and there are lots of companies making awesome novelty socks. They’re inexpensive and you can find a pair to fit anyone’s personality. (OK…FIVE inexpensive gifts that everyone loves getting…)
☺ Coffee or Tea (and accessories): coffees that pair with a winter chill or teas flavored with holiday spices are easy to find this time of year and are perfect for the cold weather. There are also plenty of accessories, like mugs and French presses. (What is a ‘coffee accessory’? Is that like a funnel?)
☺ Books: They’ve an inexpensive, thoughtful gift that you can match to anyone’s taste. This time of year, many paperbacks and even some hardcovers can be under $10. (Even cheaper if they’re used, big-spender!)
☺ Scarves and hats: They’re are all over the place around the holidays, and you may be able to find them for under $10 in a wide range of styles and colors (But take it from someone who has been there: If your Grandma knits, check with her first!)
☺ Bath Products: Pretty much everyone could use a nice bath to unwind, and you can grab things like bath bombs for under $10. There are even aromatic coffee soaps for those who may not be the type to sit in lavender-scented water. (10 bucks? Apparently, the people on my list aren’t the only ones who’ll be getting ‘soaked’ this Christmas!)
