How do I buy a lot of Christmas gifts with little money?

Question

I love buying people gifts for Christmas! I'm a college student so that means that my funds are low! I would like to get my boyfriend a lot because he spends a lot of money on me but, I dont want to spend "a lot" of money. How do I work this out?

Answer 1

Think thoughtful gifts rather than expensive ....notice the little things he might need.
I remember getting my ex one of those bath robes that only goes around the mans waist ( sought of like a big towel with Velcro) He loved it for many years and it was CHEAP !
Do you have any craft skills??? How about making him something ... Can I suggest a no sew fleece blanket or pillow ???There really cute, warm and you can buy the fleece cheaply at Walmart. here some instructions http://www.howtoadvice.com/Preview/Vuhwjb
he res one with pictures http://www.womenbygrace.com/home006.html
How about a nice picture frame with a nice picture of you two...
You can get creative and make him up some "coupons" they could be for love , snuggles, or a home cooked meal.
how about making him a nice tin of homemade chocolate chip cookies?

Answer 2

That's a tough one. Yeah, you think "Theme Baskets!" or homemade gifts! But once you assemble enough stuff to make it look nice and like something someone would want, you find you've spent more money in the making than you planned to.

Maybe try layering gifts. Example: wrap the smallest present like a small package of chocolate, then insert it into the next gift - a pair of socks - then wrap the socks and place them inside a knitted cap - then wrap the cap and place it inside a shirt- then wrap the shirt and place it inside a jacket - then put the jacket in a box and wrap it.

But , do you have a local Asian Market in your town that sells Japanese Swords and such. ? Men like stuff like that . You can find lots of nice things in the asain market for less than $ 50.

Answer 4

Make him something that will have meaning for him. Use some pictures of the two of you and make a collage or small scrapbook or memory book.

If you have one of those ceramics places nearby you can go and buy a piece and they provide the paints and firing and everything. They can get expensive, you just have to look carefully at prices, but you can make something really fun and unique.

Make a coupon book for things like kids do but give them a grown up twist: one night of massage, or something that he REALLY REALLY likes.

Print pictures from your computer onto iron transfer paper and you can use it for a bunch of different things like t-shirts, pillowcases, a quilt or lap blanket, etc.

Take sexy pictures of yourself or have someone you trust do it, as revealing as you're comfortable with, and give them to him, either in frames or a book. Just make sure it's nothing you'll regret later.

Magazine subscriptions can be inexpensive. You could also make him a special dinner and make him King for a Day. Clean his apartment. Make him a bunch of dinners and freeze them so he doesn't have to cook, or some specialty like chocolate covered pretzels.

Have fun with it!

Answer 5

Be creative. Make gifts, cards or even coupons for him redeem later for a backrub, a bj, a picnic lunch, or a foot massage for example....whatever he may like or that you can think of. it Doesn't really cost anything and it goes a long way because it came from your heart and not in a box. Good luck.

Answer 6

Lots of good stuff at Salvation Army & Goodwill. New stuff, or at least new LOOKING stuff.
