The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has brought some financial difficulties to many people.
As we fast approach Christmas Day on which many families, friends and relatives will come together to celebrate the end of the year and exchange gifts, many people will visit gift shops to buy their loved ones presents to share on the day.
In his inexpensive Christmas gift ideas, David Weliver of Money Under 30 gives suggestions for gifts.
These are some of the affordable presents you can buy as gift for your loved ones:
- A kitchen tool, it takes some time to stock your first kitchen, especially with equipment that’s going to last. For that friend who needs basics, think a can opener, potato peeler, or corkscrew. If you want to get fancier, you could go for a garlic press, a potato masher, or a pastry cutter.
- Small gardening tools can be a great gift for new homeowners suddenly faced with caring and tending of their own garden.
- A journal or notebook with a personal note can be a perfect present to a friend or a family member as they head into a new year that will definitely have its own memories worthy of jotting down.
- A wallet is another essential that often goes neglected, until the poor wallet is dusty, dirty, and warped from all those years of being stuffed in a pocket,
- Mugs are some of the home essentials that can be used every day and can bring good memories of a Christmas Day on which friends or family members met and had a good day.
- A recipe book filled with recipes from loved ones. A cookbook can be a great way to save money and avoid eating out while also sharing some beloved family recipes.
