I’m wondering if maybe I should put together a gigantic “cheap gift ideas” guide for babies/kids/teens next. What do you think? Would that be helpful?
No matter what is under your tree though, I hope you know quality time (like spending an unplugged weekend together) or acts of service (like cleaning the house for a grandparent) is so much more valuable, and those are totally free.
It’s been a tough year, y’all. But we can do hard things. And love is simply priceless anyway, especially at Christmas.
If you want more gift ideas, you can find lots more here!
You have shared amazing gifts ideas to afford easily. I also found your posts very interesting. In fact after reading, I had to go show it to my friend .

Great list! Would love one for teens and tweens for boys and girls! Thank you!
Thank you for this timesaver! I’m buying the Target scarf for myself and several of your ideas for others!
You have the best recommendations!! Thank you!!! I would love to see a baby/kid/teen lists sometime. Now that my kids are teens, I am not up on the latest baby gifts for showers, etc
Brilliant! Thanks so much! I just bought gifts for my “guys” with your guide as my own personal shopper.
I’m so glad it helped!
