People are rushing around to buy gifts as the holiday season approaches. Some recipients may simply pack away the gift and never use it, leaving it to take up space in their home.
Here are some inexpensive gifts that will not clutter up your home:
For the kids
- Admission to a theme park, zoo, museum, or science centre.
- Tickets to a sporting event or a concert.
- Enrol them in a fun activity, lesson, or class.
- Tickets to a movie.
- Admission to a trampoline park, water park, mini golf course, or go-kart track
- Art or craft supplies
- Science experiment kits or craft kits
- Favourite treats – most children enjoy receiving special snacks or treats as a gift.
- Movie night gift baskets – include everything you need for a memorable family movie night.
For women
- Chocolate. Purchase high-quality chocolate for her to enjoy guilt-free.
- Wine. Find out what her favourite wine is.
- Gift cards
- The gift of time – give the gift of time together to your mother, grandmother, or wife. Take them out to eat and spend time talking about and listening to what’s going on in their lives.
- Tickets to a concert, play, ballet, or something else you know she enjoys.
- Classes or workshops – these can include ballroom dancing, quilting, and photography classes. Pay attention to what she is interested in and plan accordingly.
- Spa package – massage, pedicure, manicure, and facial. All are lovely pampering gifts.
- Family photo shoot. Specialty family photos are lovely, but they are not always affordable. Plan the day so that there are older children.
- Monthly flower delivery. Flowers are lovely, can be enjoyed and then tossed without guilt after they have expired.
For men
- Tools. Drill bits and saw blades must be replaced on a regular basis. A hardware store gift card is a great idea so he can buy his own tools or get himself a high-quality tool that he requires.

- Gift certificates
- Fishing equipment.
- Tickets to an upcoming sporting event.
- Get a gift certificate for a round of golf or some driving range time for the golfer.
