Giving a gift that somebody will appreciate and find useful doesn't have to cost a lot of money. There are plenty of good gift ideas for less than $20. Take some time to consider the hobbies and interests of the gift recipient. Once you have a few ideas, get creative. Simple gifts like a coffee cup can be made extra special when paired with gourmet coffee and some cookies. It's the thought that counts, so put some thought into your gift, and it will be appreciated. - Food gifts are good for almost anyone, provided you know the recipient's taste. Put a basket together with some trail mix, nuts, popcorn and pretzels for someone who likes to snack. A bag of gourmet coffee and some cookies or muffins make a nice gift, especially if you bake the cookies and muffins yourself. Jams, jellies, salsa or cheese bought a farm stand or gourmet grocery store all make delicious gifts. A bottle of wine or champagne can also be purchased for under $20 for a hostess gift.
- Gifts that can provide some entertainment are fun to receive. Movie tickets are good for the film buff, and you can even pair them with some candy. A compact disc, or a gift card to purchase music online, is good for those who love music. A book, a stack of a few current magazines tied in a bow, or even a subscription to a magazine is great for an avid reader. Board games and card games are fun gift ideas, especially for a family. Choose a game that would be fun for all ages, and pair it with some microwave popcorn for family game night.
- Everyone likes to relax when they have a chance. Gifts such as scented oils, bath salts and massage lotions can help with the relaxation process. Give a candle that smells like lavender or mint for stress relief. Herbal teas are an excellent gift, the tea can be bought loose and you can buy a pretty mesh tea infuser to go with it. Fluffy towels, a soft robe or some cozy slippers can all also be found for under $20.
- Some people love to be outside. A bucket filled with sunscreen, a magazine, a hat and some sunglasses is good for someone who spends time in the sun. A beach chair or fold-up camping chair is useful too. Someone who spends a lot of time in their yard might enjoy a bird feeder or a bird bath. A set of grill tools for those who like to cook outside is an excellent idea. An outdoor thermometer is also a useful gift. Small plants or bushes that can be found for under $20 are a good idea for a gardener, or even some gardening tools and gloves would be nice.
- There are many creative ideas for gift giving, if you keep the receiver's interests in mind. A cook may like a funky apron, or a specialty set of measuring spoons. A sports fan could enjoy a T-shirt, mug or ball with a favorite team's logo. Unique mousepads, even ones printed with a photo, can be found for under $20 and make a nice gift for those who work in an office.
