Hi guys, this Christmas I'm on a tight budget. I'm wondering if you have any ideas of a cheap but great gift? I don't know if this will help but I am teen so the gift doesn't have to be o so out there!!! I have to shop for 2 little girls, and 18 yr. old brother, and 3 adults aged from 30-45.
Thanx!
Answer
FOR THE 3 ADULTS, SOME IDEAS WOULD BE:
1. Scented candles (you can get 3 different scented candles and put them in a nice gift bag) go to the dollar store and this gift can be under $7
2. If any of the adults are males who fish, you can get a tackle box and put some lures and hooks in there (total=$20-$30)
3. Seasonal Fruits - Go to your local market and buy some nice fruits that are in season and then go to the dollar store and get a nice basket or a Christmas Tin and nicely arrange the fruit -- Great gift for under $10
4. Christmas Dishes -- You can get a set of nice Christmas dishes at Target or Wal Mart for under $35
GIFT IDEAS FOT YOUR 18 YR OLD BROTHER
1. A Frame - Get a frame at any retailer -- you can find a nice one for under $10 and then put a picture of you and your brother together when you were young in the frame
2. 18 year olds love to watch movies and video games -- check out a gift card from Blockbuster
3. If he is 18 and in college in a dorm or out in his own part, try making him a bachelor kit -- we did this for a friend of mine when he moved out and it went over well......get a large basket and fill it with all of the stuff he is going to use when he is on his own without his mom to take care of him -- paper plates, paper towels, cleaners, a few cans of sodas, a few cans of chef boyrdee ravioli ---this is very cheap to do and it is a funny gift that usually causes some great laughter between the two fo you and it will all be stuff he needs and will use
GIFT IDEAS FOR THE LITTLE GIRLS
1. Why don't you go to a retailer or dollar store and buy them a stocking and then stuff it with a chirstmas ornament and a bby doll (you can get both items at a dollar store for $3-$5)
2. Little girls love to dress up usually -- go to the hairbow aisle of any retailer and buy them each 3 or 4 cute little hairbows and barettes -- this won't cost you more than $10

I've been going out with this guy for a few weeks now and his birthday is coming up.
Art is sort of my 'thing' and I told him that I wanted to make him something. I was thinking of making him a painting, though I am not sure of what I would paint. Though he plays guitar and I was thinking of maybe finding a cheap acoustic and painting that for him. Any other ideas or suggestions?
so what I've heard so far is that people think that the guitar idea is good. But would it be too much?
How about a small landscape painting (possibly around 5'' x 7'')?
A while ago (before we were dating) I drew him a portrait which he really liked. What if I took that drawing I made and painted it? Would that be thoughtful or just creepy?

Depending on the kind of paintings that you do, you could also be creative and just paint a canvas with acrylics using images of guitars, strings, notes, music, etc. Since you've only gone out for a couple of weeks, the idea is great but your time and thoughts are also of great value. I have a very successful artist friend that goes to Goodwill and buys those pictures on canvas and just paints over them. It's a cheap way to get materials. Her smallest paintings are 3' X3.' She sells them for $$$$. I'd save the best of what you can do for on down the road as the relationship develops. I use to do art for people and felt kind of hurt when they threw it out after we stopped dating or being friends.
