Gift Ideas Under $10

Before you spend a lot of money on a gift, consider alternative and less expensive options. Inexpensive gifts are just as appreciated and well received. It is not necessary to spend a lot of money to find a great gift for anyone.

Coffee, Cocoa and Tea Gifts

A coffee, tea or hot cocoa lover will enjoy a personal, oversized or fun mug filled with a pound of her favorite coffee, some herbal tea bags or gourmet cocoa mix.

Jams, Jellies, Mustards, and Hot Sauces

Fill a wicker basket with an assortment of jams, jellies, mustards, hot sauces or other condiments. Line the basket with an attractive napkin and add a special serving spoon. A recipe would add a special touch.

Note Cards and Stamps

While email, texting, and tweeting has often replaced conventional greetings and thank yous, note cards are still a welcome gift. A book of stamps and some return address labels complete this gift.

Gourmet Popcorn

A large bowl filled with gourmet popping corn, oil and seasonings is great for a TV lover. Movie-style paper popcorn holders and some paper napkins make a nice added touch.

Socks

A week's worth of fun or practical socks or one pair of expensive socks would be a nice treat for someone's feet. For a female, add a bottle of nail polish, and for a male, add some foot powder

Magazines

Some magazine subscriptions can obtained for a half year or full year for less than $10. Present the recipient with a copy of the magazine festively wrapped and a note announcing the subscription.
