Make a Meaningful Cheap Gift

Everyone says the best gifts you can give are the fun inexpensive ones. But you still have to put some thought into it, or else it's going to be just a cheap gift. Here are a few tips.

From Quick Guide: Personalized Gifts 101
Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Imagination
  1. Step 1

    Fine something fun that the person would like that you can put stuff in. A little antique box, a tea pot, a bowl or even just a box.

  2. Step 2

    A fun thing to do for Valentine's Day coming up is to buy a box of chocolate's but then take out all of the chocolate's. You can save the chocolates or eat them yourself.

  3. Step 3

    Find tiny things that can fit in the box or whatever you chose to use. Small candies, inside jokes, ticket stubs, anything that might have meaning in your relationship and can fit or be symbolized by something that can fit in the little container.

  4. Step 4

    Hide one really important, yet small gift amongst the small things if you want. Jewelry, tickets, whatever you want. This may up the price a little but it will be a memorable gift for sure, and fun to see the person discover it.

Tips & Warnings
  • Take your time when figuring out the small gifts.
  • Don't get too crafty, simplicity is a good thing.

on 11/23/2009 That chocolate box idea is very creative, though I might be disappointed if I thought I was getting chocolate and then realized I wasn't!
