Cheap Unique Gift Ideas That Wows

With the holiday season getting closer, do you have some cheap unique gift ideas in mind?

It's helpful but often difficult for those on a budget -- to keep your holiday spending in line while making your loved ones feel special.

>

I don’t know about you, but I hate to give things that create clutter or end up in the recycling bin.

Every bit of clutter takes up space. It draws energy from you and demands your attention. And when your mind is cluttered, you simply can’t be productive or creative.

So here are a few cheap Christmas ideas that may help you relieve some holiday stress. But ultimately it’s the appreciation and love that you show to others that counts.

I hope these cheap unique gift ideas will help you spark a warm smile for your loved ones. And when that happens it’s priceless.

1- Books or magazine subscription

Obviously you need to know what kind of books your recipient wants. But as a general guideline, books on hobbies will always be a good fit. Books or magazines on sports are great holiday gifts for guys.

A year subscription to Consumer Reports, a hobby magazine (cooking, clothes, collecting etc) or some coffee table novels are fantastic holiday gift ideas for women.

2- Movie and popcorn

I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t like a good movie and some nice kettle corn. You can even do a home-version – a nice DVD and a bottle of popcorn kernels or bag of kettle corn! I personally love these cheap unique gift ideas.

3- One-time maid service

Do you have any busy family members or friends who have no time for housework or are dreading their housekeeping chores? Why not buy a one-time maid service for them? It is the help they can really use and appreciate.

Or for those who have chronicle clutter problems, you may book a home organization consultation for them. These one-time services are budget friendly and they sure are different.

4- Buy a one-time massage session

After a hectic day, we can all use some massage therapy. I’m surprised that not so many people have thought about this gift idea. A massage session of 50 minutes typically costs between $25 and $50, but the relaxing feeling you get from it is so worth it.

You can also find alternative acupuncture treatment, facial or manicure treatment for different recipients.

5- Buy yoga classes

Yoga classes are not only getting more and more popular these days, but also becoming a lifestyle. A first yoga class costs only about $10. You can also buy a week of yoga classes for just $25.

At that price, you can afford to spread the benefit to many of your friends and family members. More importantly it sends out a caring message while promoting healthy way of living.

6- Your time

If you don’t have much money to spend, perhaps the best gift you can give is of yourself – babysitting so they can have a ‘night out,’ taking them shopping or sightseeing, or helping them with some craft or chore they have stacked up.

You can make up a nice card that highlights the gift – include a self-designed ‘coupon’ for your service, and add the personal touch!

Other cheap unique gift ideas include writing a heartfelt letter to your family and friends and tell them how much you appreciate their support and love, or using a handful of favourite photos create a craft collage that shares some great memories.

Past generations saw gift-giving as an opportunity to exchange home-made items, like crafts, baking and knitted wear. This kind of present should never go out of style.

A gift card for a favourite restaurant, the latest electronic gadget, a personal timer/calendar or even homemade gift ideas such as heart shaped cookies can all make the statement you want if you put some care and attention into it.

Whatever cheap unique gift ideas you choose, make sure that the processes of gift making and giving are enjoyable. The holiday season is all about the warmth of family and friends.
