Expensive-looking Christmas Gift Ideas On A Budget

Regardless of how tight your budget is this Christmas no one wants to appear cheap

. Perhaps in the past youve been able to splash out a bit more but this year the budget it tighter than usual. How do you still give gifts with flare but avoid debt? These simple ideas will help you find gifts you are happy with, that others will love to receive, and that will keep your credit card intact as well.

Show someone special your appreciation for how much they have done for you during the year by preparing a Christmas pamper pack pack a gorgeous fluffy sponge, bath salts, scented candle and a face mask into a pretty box with some Christmas tissue paper and tie with a big red bow. Add a handwritten note for extra oh, you shouldnt have points. Or find a pre-packaged Christmas gift set prices start at $15 bargain! (and half the work is already done for you!).

A teenager can be hard to buy for they are so very self conscious and hard to please. Some thoughtful Christmas gifts to help them keep their look developing may be the answer. For girls, bundle up some outrageous coloured eye makeup or nail polish, a neutral-coloured face powder, skin scrub and a daily moisturiser. A lip gloss will always get a smile too. Prices start at $11 for a makeup compendium (less for a lip gloss) and go up from there. For boys, a nail care set, skin loofah, mens perfume and a facial scrub or after sun care lotion can work very well. Nail sets for men start at about $12 very affordable so shop around and tying it together in a black gift bag with a big red ribbon helps to keep it feeling masculine. You can tailor the size of the gift bundles to match your budget go for smaller items but more of them, or two or three larger items to fill out the Christmas gift box or bag.

Buying a Christmas gift for a work mate? Tough call. Hows this for a gift idea? A small box of Belgian chocolates for around $10 (always well received!) or a new jumbo toiletries bag, bath fragrances or sports soap on a rope could also be winners. Theyll cost between $15 and $30.

For dad, perhaps a more practical gift such as a new shave kit, or something more indulgent, such as a mens fragrance, or a delicious sweet treat whats his favourite shortbread or chocolates? If you can stretch a bit further think about a foot spa and pedicure set for approximately $59. You can find bathroom & shaving kits with deodorant, blades and foam for around $25.

Need extra inspiration? No need to shop at the major department stores try your local chemist and discount stores, many of which also stock ribbons and wrapping. Save money on the gift but take some time with your wrapping. Packing things well can make all the difference to how the gift is perceived. And why not tuck a flower under the string? This adds a personal touch that will say just as much as the gift itself. Have a wonderful Christmas!
