Because my fiance and I are trying to save money prior to our wedding we agreed to only spend 30 dollars (give or take a little) on each other for christmas. My fiance has already bought mine. He has 5 things under the tree with my name on it. What are a few small things totalling under 30 dollars I could get for him? He is not into sports. He plays videogames, enjoys movies, rides horses, goes camping.......help ???? I haven't bought a thing. everything I think of is 50 dollars plus!!

My boyfriend and I met in high school and the first few years we were kind of tight on money... One Christmas we also agreed to put a limit on what we spent. I ended up making a mix of his favorite songs, buying a photo album and filling it with pictures of us and family and buying a movie that I knew he loved and wanted to see.
He ended up playing the CD for weeks on end, he still has the photo album in his bedroom and we cuddled on the floor that night with some popcorn and watched the movie.
Hope that helped some.

Cologne (they have cheap gift sets at walmart or walgreens that smell good believe it or not)
Video games (walmart and kohls has them for under 10 bucks each *normally 6 bucks or cheaper*.. sometimes walmart has 3 packs for 10 bucks even if he has a playstation or an xbox or something other then like the new PS3)
wallet
watch
pocket knife
flashlight (the kind you shake or the kind with a little crank on it you never have to buy batteries for so whenever the power goes out or he goes camping he would have it and not have to worry about batteries)
another cute idea for an additional gift that wont cost you anything....... at least right now would be to make a little certificate & say sometime during the summer we can go ride horses and go camping together just the two of us..

A pocket knife which is useful for the horse thing and camping. You can also get on the internet and print off topo maps and stuff of places where you can go camping and laminate them. You could even hide a gift somewhere out in the yonder where you camp and make a map where X marks the spot on the map and you two could go "treasure hunting" for one of the gifts. Lots of outdoorsy gifts that cost next to nothing. A compass, binoculars. Videogames are cheap at pawnshops and trade in stores. Hope this helps.

Get him a Shick Quattro razor, a handheld videogame...like the keychain kind maybe, if he fishes.....fishing hooks and lures. If he just camps, you can probably find some cheaper camping supplies for him too.....flashlight, pocket knife, cooking utensils for camping. Get him a cologne from Walgreens....Stetson is pretty nice actually. If he eats fast food, get him a gift card for McDonalds or something similar. Or a gas card! Men always need socks it seems, so a pack of white socks would be good too.

Yes..for anyone (over the age of 21), if they enjoy a nice bottle of wine, there are some cool websites that will custom-label a bottle for you (with his name on it, or whatever you wish)..I have used this alot. Also, how about name-a-star? I got my hubbie one for Valentines one year (and some sites will e-mail you the download and you can print it, and frame it yourself..you've still got time) and I have given these to several relatives. They love it! I always try to give a gift to loved-ones that is personalized. Hope this helps!
