Economical Gift Giving Ideas at Your Apartment in Gainesville, FL
All of us love giving gifts, whether for a friend’s birthday, a holiday party, or simply to say thank you. Even so, it’s important to be mindful of our budgets, especially when saving for an important purchase. Gift giving doesn’t have to mean spending a ton of money on lavish items, though. A homemade gift is more economical and sometimes even more thoughtful.
When thinking about economical gifts to give, consider:
- Hot chocolate in a jar – Simply mix together 11 cups dry milk powder, 8 ounces powdered non-dairy creamer, 2.5 cups confectioners sugar, and 16 ounces chocolate drink mix. Then, pour the mixture into jars, top with mini marshmallows, tie with a ribbon, and you have an easy gift to give. (This recipe makes 16 cups of hot chocolate mix.)
- Sugar scrub – Mix together 2 cups sugar, 3/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and a few drops of your essential oil of choice to create a sweet-scented sugar scrub that you can add to jars to be given away.
- Photos – Buy decorative picture frames and print out photos that hold great meaning to your friend or family member to put in the frames. Your friend or family member will most likely cherish this gift for a very long time.
Now you have a fantastic list of economical gifts to give to friends and family members for any type of celebration or event. These gifts will give them something to smile about, whether it’s while drinking a cup of hot chocolate from the mix you gave them or from seeing the framed photograph you gifted.
