Affordable Family Gifts

Gifting is big business, and it is hard to avoid the constant marketing, advertisements, and in-store promotions baiting you into spending more money on the month’s holiday.

On average, Americans are spending $1,394 on these five holidays alone. So, cutting down on gift costs is a great place to start if you want to divert money from your current budget toward paying off debt, saving for retirement, college, or a vacation.

Gift Certificate To a Local Attraction

Do you know a family that prefers experiences over more toys? A gift certificate to a nearby amusement park, museum, arcade, play place, or bounce house would be a winner. Parents will appreciate the chance to get the kids out of the house and make memories without opening up their wallets.

Want to treat a family who lives in a state with really long winters? Consider gifting them a one-night getaway to a hotel with an indoor pool to break the winter blues.

Hotel Stay

A night at the theater is a great way to spend time together as a family. Choose a movie, play, or musical that everyone will enjoy, and prepare for a fun-filled night.

Tickets To A Show

Coffee, tea, or even hot cocoa lovers would appreciate a set of personalized family mugs. Add a photo or special message to make it extra personal. Stuff each one with hot cocoa or coffee packet or include a kid-friendly snack or cookie.

Personalized Mugs

A puzzle can get the whole family involved in one activity and spend time together. Consider a custom puzzle made from a picture of the entire family. If your budget allows, include a puzzle mat to store their unfinished masterpiece between puzzle sessions.
