Posted by admin

Many people have found themselves dreading holiday shopping due to the slower economy. This is completely understandable. However, Christmas 2010 gift ideas don’t have to involve a ton of cash. This year, the holiday shopping experience is all about the hunt: bargains!

Naturally, if you want to save the most money on a gift, do it yourself. Even if you feel like you don’t have a creative bone in your body, you can still succeed in making a homemade Christmas present. This is because the options are endless. You could:

  1. Sew a homemade quilt out of old band jerseys.
  2. Prepare a coupon book, good for services such as foot rubs and dishwashing.
  3. Carve a set of chess pieces.
  4. Bake a delicious cake or chocolate cake.
  5. Create and abstract watercolor or oil paint.
  6. Make a CD playlist.
  7. Write a song.

Really, the list goes on and on. Chances are, many more people will get in tune with their creative side while saving pennies this season. So, what are you waiting for? Dive in and start doing something!

If you’d rather just shop for your gift, there’s no shortage of bargain-priced Christmas 2010 gift ideas. It all depends on where you look. You also have to know the personality of the gift recipient to make the gift truly special. Some shopping ideas for less than $10 include:

  • A nice cup of coffee with a nice coffee bag.
  • gardening gloves
  • Photo frames
  • craft supplies
  • Books
  • Puzzle
  • Deck of cards with dice for drinking games

If you want to spend a little more, here are some gift ideas over $10 but under $25:

  • cocktail shaker
  • throw blanket
  • mini mp3 player speakers
  • Cook Book
  • good chocolate truffles
  • serving dish in the kitchen

Also, research all of your purchasing options. Sometimes in-store specials are better than the online option for a location. Other times, online prices for items are cheaper. It’s not as time consuming as it sounds, and at the end of the day you’ll save money.

Truth be told, shopping for gifts during the holidays doesn’t have to break the bank. Don’t feel like you have to go out and buy the biggest and best new gadget or trinket out there. All of these Christmas 2010 gift ideas will leave you with a lot of money to spare, and the recipient of the gift won’t even know about it. Everyone loves fancy electronics and designer clothes, but try to keep in mind what Christmas is all about: love, acceptance, and togetherness. A gift from the heart is always the most meaningful.
