where can a 12 year old with little money for christmas shopping?

Question

i dont get a lot of money cause im only 12

Answer 1

If you have a local Dollar Tree it is great. You can buy candles and lots of stuff for just about everybody you need for $1.00 each item....I love it. Dollar Stores are not necessarily $1.00 ea item, believe it or not, Dollar Trees are.

Answer 2

sometimes places like thrift stores have really cool stuff if you have people in your life that don't mind getting gently used gifts. if you have any crafty talents people might like some home made gifts. in fact there are some really easy needlepoint sets where the design is in place and you just have to cover it over and they only cost a couple of bucks. they can be found at zellers, walmart if you are canadian and probably places like target or craft stores if you are american. well wal mart too.

people know you are only 12 and dont expect large gifts. you could always make gift certificates offering to do things like a chore or something nice for someone. or you could earn extra money by shovelling driveways etc if you live in a place where it snows. or babysit if yur parents think you are old enough.

another place to check out is londion drugs or other pharmacies. especially closer to christmas. they often have simple gifts and ornaments that look nice. stay away from stuff like perfume. what you can afford wont smell so good and will be a waste of money. you would be better off picking up a cute ornament.

oh, and don't forget dollar stores. you would be amazed at what you can find there sometimes. you could make up little gift bags. almost like stockings. it could be fun. good luck. i remember being a kid and not having much shopping money. in fact, i remember being an adult and not having much shopping money. it is the thought that counts.

You could buy him these things Sorry,but your brother sounds like a strange kid. 1. A gift card to walmart or some other store that he likes 2. Clothes 3. A book 4. A gift bag filled with hygiene products. (My grandma did this for all of her grandchildren one year.) 5. Bake him a holiday cake or buy one 6. Take him out 7. Shoes 8. A cell phone

Answer 4

Why not make (decorate) some beautiful cards and for each special person write something heartfelt you feel or think about them. At the dollar store you can buy a bag of candy and attach a piece to the card. Adults love these kinds of gifts from your heart and friends would too.

For friends, there is always something at the dollar store, a picture frame, candy, hair accessories anything really.

Answer 5

Go to the 99 cents store, its the thought that counts amd since you are only 12, I think they will understand. You can buy things like picture frames, nik-naks, etc. no clothes. You should start saving now, Christmas will be here before you know it.

Answer 6

Big Lots or the Dollar Store

Answer 7

You should make cookies and other treats. Another thing you can do is make or purchase some hot cocoa mix, put it in plastic bags with nice ribbon, and put the bags in nice mugs :-) You could also fill a mug with candy canes. Lots of possibilities here. But I think your best bet is food gifts. Good luck!!!

Answer 8

Since you don't have a lot of money, why not make gifts for people instead. People love home made baked goodies. Bake a bunch of different cookies/pastries and then wrap them up really nice with bows/ribbons and give them to people as gifts from you - they'll love them!

Answer 9

Well, you could try going to a store like Dollar General or maybe Big Lots. Sometimes they have some pretty nice merchandise for a good price. Good luck. :)

Answer 10

I agree. The Dollar Store is a great place for your situation. I also like the chocolate idea. I'm sure your family will love your gifts no matter what they cost.
