Christmas is approaching fast, and with it the stress of holiday shopping. In spite of what you think, it is possible to spend less than $10 on each special person in your life, reducing the stress of credit card bills and holiday debt. Here are 10 gifts under $10:
1. Baked goods
Cookies, peanut brittle, fudge. Can't bake? Head to your local grocer and pick up a tray of yummy cookies from the bakery.
2. Books
Used or new. Hit up your local used book or thrift store to find great books at inexpensive prices.
3. Candles
You can make them using Martha Stewart's handy how-to guide or turn already bought candles into festive gifts.
4. Volunteer
Take time to make a difference in your community. There are a variety of opportunities: soup kitchens, habitat for humanity, homeless shelters, youth shelters, etc. Volunteering as a family can be a great bonding experience, and it doesn't cost you a thing.
5. Games, Cards or Puzzles
Games like Yahtzee are bound to provide family fun year round.
6. Photo Memories
Frame + Print = wonderful preserved memories. Decorate the frame to add a personal touch.
7. Personalized artwork
Paint a picture, draw, write a poem, and just get creative. Gifts that are made personally often mean the most.
8. Coffee or Hot Chocolate
Put the grounds, beans or powder in a nice, reusable jar. That way they can continue storing coffee or others things like sugar and flour.
9. Potted plant
Bring some green into some one's life by giving potted plants for the holidays.
10. Fleece hat and/or gloves
Give the gift of warmth. Practical and very useful.
