Save on Holiday Shopping

5 Ways to Save on Holiday Shopping

The holidays are here, and that means it’s time to shop! Here are a few suggestions to help you spread some holiday cheer without overspending.

Baskets and kits

A basket filled with small but thoughtful items is a great gift that won’t kill your budget. For example, you can put together a movie night basket that includes movie passes, popcorn, candy and soda, or a manicure kit with nail polish, clippers, cotton balls and nail polish remover.

DIY

Homemade gifts aren’t just for kids. Craft stores and online shopping have made it easy to create unique and sophisticated gifts yourself. Personalized mugs, jewelry, bookends and even mobile phone cases are a few things you can make at a low cost.

Baked goods

Experiences

Instead of buying physical presents, give the gift of your time. Take a friend or family member out for an adventure or relaxing outing. Try geocaching, nature walking or attending a free fitness class!
