New Year is a time of magic not only for children, but also for adults. However, the purchase of gifts for the whole family very often lacks funds, so many people think about how to get out of this situation.
Selection recommendations
It’s still not worth feeling sad about this. After all, you can buy something in accordance with the family budget. First you need to allocate funds so that they are enough for gifts to all loved ones. Even if there is not much money, one must still take into account the interests and wishes of those to whom the gifts are intended. It is also very important not to save on quality. It is better to choose some very tiny but good gift than a cheap fake or a Chinese bauble that breaks on the second day of use.
You can also save on a New Year's gift by choosing something cool instead of a practical thing. True, such gifts are only suitable for those who have a good sense of humor. In addition, even budget presentations should be beautifully packaged.
At the same time, you can completely dispense with inexpensive wrapping paper or even make packaging from improvised materials yourself.
Top presents for friends
Budget gifts are often given to friends. And this is true not only for student days, when there is not enough money for anything. In adulthood, I also want to please the pleasant little things of so many. And there is simply not enough money for everyone. The company of friends can please some selection of thematic gifts. Especially if the interests of all people are the same.
As a gift, various stationery with the symbols of your favorite groups, films or series, CDs, fragrant soap or cosmetics are suitable. You can also pick up something for the home - funny pillows, rugs with funny inscriptions, and so on. Do not forget about unusual postcards. Now they are sold for every taste, so you can come up with original messages for all friends.
In addition, it is realistic to make an individual order. In this case, friends will receive unique cards with certain jokes or some common phrases. And for those friends who completely forget about rest at work, such a trinket as a head massager is also suitable. Just a few minutes of such self-massage, and you can forget about fatigue.
Simple gift options for young people are various gadgets and stylish additions to them. You can choose a bright mouse pad, a new microphone or a headset.
All this is inexpensive, but brings a lot of pleasure to those who spend a lot of time sitting in front of a laptop screen. The same can be said about decorative mugs, tea sets and bright covers.
You can give girls something sweeter. For example, an inexpensive set of makeup brushes, combs, scented candles. Beauties who follow their figure can be presented with a fruit bouquet or a certificate for a trip to a SPA salon or fitness center.
Even with a limited budget, you can please your loved ones with pleasant gifts.
Gift Ideas for Parents
It is very important not to forget about the most important people in your life - parents. They also often have to make modest gifts because of a lack of funds. But it is they who pay attention not to the price of things, but to their real value. A gift for relatives that shows that the child really cares about them - home baking. Even a little preschooler can work with the test. Especially if an older sister or grandmother helps him in this matter.
By the New Year you can bake various types of cookies: American with chocolate chips, ginger, honey, with cinnamon. To make the gift nicer, just give the liver the shape of stars or hearts and wrap the finished dish in a wrapper. In memory of the most pleasant moments of the past year, a child can give his parents a photo album.
If there is no time to arrange everything manually, or there is doubt that everything will really turn out as beautiful as you want, you can simply order your gift on a special site.
Now many companies are printing photo books and instabuki. Such a miracle is relatively inexpensive. If the budget is bigger, you can order a handmade album, decorated using the scrapbooking technique. You can decorate pages with photos with various stickers, inscriptions and even drawings. Parents will definitely spend more than one evening viewing this work of art created by their beloved daughter or son.
Another way to show your imagination and talent is to please loved ones with such an original gift as a handmade New Year's toy. There are even more opportunities for creativity. From the simplest tools at hand, you can make both classic balls on the Christmas tree, and unusual figures, decorated with a layer of snow or translucent ribbons. Such an ornament should then be hung in a prominent place on the Christmas tree and left as a keepsake.
If your parents have a good sense of humor, you can give them “coupons for desire”. In a small checkbook you can enter such items as “evening with family”, “help with the housework” or a joint shopping trip. You can start to show your concern without presenting a coupon. So, on New Year's Eve, instead of classic gifts, you can just cook a luxurious family dinner.
Of course, this is not about ordinary everyday food. You can cook peanut paste or dried fruit salad with honey or lemon to strengthen a weakened immune system. Also a great option is to brew tea from aromatic and healthy herbs or to cook non-alcoholic mulled wine. Each jar can be signed with original inscriptions, for example, “Magic New Year's mixture” or “Cure for the spleen”.
In addition, at the table you can give everyone bags of New Year’s mixes. They may include cinnamon, cloves, dried tangerine skin, and nutmeg. In addition, each bag should have a homemade label with the composition, as well as New Year's wishes. Those who know how to knit can surprise their parents with mittens or socks, or knit two identical scarves. These things will please much more than trinkets purchased in stores.
For those who have not yet mastered the Internet and do not know how to use gadgets, you can give a disk or flash drive with your favorite music.
