How to Give a Gift on a Budget
Are you saving madly, or just piggy-bankrupt, with a friend's birthday coming up? If the answer is yes, here's the answer to your prayers! Try these ideas to come up with a gift when you're on a tight budget.
[edit] Steps
- Think about your friend's character. Are they studious and organized or fun and crazy?
- Find old stuff lying around. Use your imagination to think of something to make. Matchboxes are great. Here are some ideas of what to make:
- A pet rock kit.
- A desk tidy.
- A glasses case.
- A trinket box.
- Visit the local thrift store. They often have super items, many not even opened, for reasonable prices. You'll be recycling, supporting charity, making a caring choice for your friend and giving a great gift in the process.
[edit] Tips
- Make the most of being able to do whatever you want.
- Customize it to your friend's preferences and needs.
- Be modest when you give it to them.
