Christmas shopping can drain your bank account quickly. If you have multiple gifts to buy, you’ve likely set a
budget and if possible, you’re looking to save the most money you can while still giving beautiful thoughtful,
holiday presents to your family and friends.
If your budget is particularly tight this year, you might be searching for Christmas gifts under twenty-five
dollars.
With a little planning and some comparison shopping, you can come in at or even under your Christmas gift
giving budget.
One way to avoid overspending this year is to shop ahead and shop online. Many online retailers have special
holiday gifts sections. These sections may allow you to shop specifically for gifts that are under twenty-five
dollars.
Major retailers like Amazon.com, Overstock.com and Gifts.com offer this option. By selecting just gifts under
twenty-five dollars, you can avoid the temptation to overspend.
Other retailers like Barnes & Noble and QVC offer gifts under twenty-five-dollar sections as well.
If you find gifts you like and they’re within your budget, be sure to check the cost of shipping. Sometimes
shipping costs can push the total price over that twenty-five-dollar mark.
If you’ve shopped all over the Internet and can’t seem to find perfect Christmas gifts for under twenty-five
dollars, why not try making the gifts yourself? Gift baskets or boxes are one way to potentially cut costs.
Consider making some home-made Christmas cookies, candies or even jellies or jams and then filling the
baskets with all the goodies.
If you’re a craftsperson, why not try knitting or crocheting some gift items?
And if all else fails, find some of your favorite photos of the gift recipient and then frame them. You can
usually find inexpensive frames in most retail stores.
