Looking for gifts that will show your appreciation but not empty your wallet? The holidays can sometimes set people off-track from meeting their goals for a successful financial future. But even small gifts can make a big impact, and with the money left over, you can make a healthy contribution to your savings. Here are some penny-pinching ideas:
- Handmade gifts are unique and easy to make. Consider creating personalized gifts such as: ornaments, tote bags, candy/cookie jars and gift baskets containing food and personal care items.
- Magazine subscriptions are gifts that give year-round. They are inexpensive and can be easily tailored to any person's interests. Search around and you may be able to find subscriptions for under $5.
- Give a recycled gift. Perhaps you have an old trinket that would make a perfect gift for someone else. These sentimental gifts can last a lifetime.
Being frugal and saving are gifts in themselves, ones that will pay off in the future. Share your holiday money-saving tips on the new Feed the Pig discussion forum, or read more on reducing your spending.
