Picture Collage
-
A picture collage is something that you can create for Mom to put on the wall, Dad to put on his desk at work or for your siblings to take with them when they go away to school. A computer with a scanner can make this project easier as you can scan pictures into your computer, and then use photo editing software to make your collage. If you do not have the computer tools to do the job, then take your pictures to a copy center to make color copies. Then create your collage by hand and make color copies for the gifts. A frame completes the gift.
Personalized Gift Baskets
-
A gift basket can be an inexpensive Christmas gift that offers a personal touch. Use your familiarity with your family members to put together baskets of inexpensive items that make a complete gift that they would appreciate. For example, if Dad is a golfer then put together a gift basket with a sleeve of golf balls, golf tees and a golf towel. Those items are relatively cheap, but together they can make a good Christmas gift.

Movie Night
-
Buying gifts for the entire family as individuals is one approach to gift giving, but if you put together a gift for the whole family then you can save money and still give something everyone will enjoy. One gift package you can create is a movie night package that can consist of a DVD movie, microwave popcorn and a candy bar for each family member. The only difficult part is finding a movie that you believe everyone will enjoy. The low cost of previously viewed DVDs can make this gift very inexpensive. If you have a hard time finding a movie the entire family will enjoy, then do a movie night gift for each family member.
