Bargain Gifts: Something Cheap for Your Devoted Family

Being part of a loving family is great! That is of course until the holidays come around and it's time to pony up on the Christmas gifts. Of course, your relatives will always tell you "It's the thought that counts", and they'll mean it. The only problem is that sometimes good ideas don't come cheap. Here are some affordable gift ideas for your closest of kin!

Grandmother

Nana is getting older, and memory is the first thing to go right after vision. Help the matriarch of the family hold on to her dearest memories with a digital photo frame.

Grandfather

Your grandfather probably told you a lot of stories while you were growing up. As people get older, they may fear that they will be forgotten one day. Let grandpa know that you'll always remember him by writing a journal full of all of his stories that he told you through the years.

Spouse

If there is one gift that your wife will appreciate it's a mani-pedi, and if there is one gift that your husband would never admit to wanting it's a mani-pedi.

Son

Boys need to be kept busy. Their brains and their hands cannot sit idle, otherwise they will get into trouble. Get your son a DIY kit that has something to do with one of his interests. Does he like cars? Then get him a model car. Is he into Star Wars? You can get him a Lego set of literally anything from those movies.

Daughter

A plant is a great gift for your daughter. It shows that you trust them to take care of a living thing, it adds to the decor of their room, and keeping plants is good for both your physical and mental health.

Mother

Moms don't need a lot. In fact, this is your big budget saver right here. Call your mom. Talk to your mom. Don't just sit there saying, "uh-huh, yeah, yup...". That woman gave birth to you. Talk to her for 15 minutes. It's all she wants.

Father

Get your dad a Jeep. Make it a 2024 lime green Jeep. I know, this whole article was about giving people inexpensive gifts for the holidays, but what was the point in skimping out on every person on this list if you weren't going to end up giving something really expensive to at least one person.

These ideas not only fit most budgets, but they also let the person know that love and thoughtfulness was behind each gift.
