Everyone seems to be feeling financially stressed these days and for the first time in a while the collective “we” are openly talking about cutting back on Christmas. The idea of setting limits on Christmas buying isn’t a new concept for my family. We have always set small spending limits on gift giving, not just because we have financial constraints but also because having a small budget makes you get creative and become more thoughtful in your gift giving choice.
Just because you are limited in the amount you can spend doesn’t mean the gift you give has to be cheap. Here are a few expensive gift ideas that cost under $25 that I have actual given, received or will be giving this year (sshh don’t tell anyone, it’s still a surprise).
Spa Treatments – Check out your local beauty school for great deals on spa treatments. I bought my mom a manicure, pedicure and facial treatment for $25.
Mini Fridge – My husband was constantly commenting on the lack of space in the refrigerator for his beer so I went out to craigslist.org and bought a mini fridge for $20. The fridge was a little beat up but it runs great and fits about 20 bottles.
Antique charm bracelet with charms – My husband went to the antique store and bought me a beautiful charm bracelet with charms. The bracelet and charms were silver and he paid less than $25.
Coffee table – My mom and dad were in need of a coffee table with storage so I went to the second-hand store and found a coffee table in need of a little TLC. I put a few coats of finish on it and it looks awesome.
