Baked Goods

• Whether for a birthday gift or an Easter present, baked goods are an affordable and easy present to give to your grandchildren. Bake their favorite cookies, brownies or cupcakes and then arrange them in a pretty basket or container. If it is for a birthday, attach a few balloons onto your present. If the gift is for Easter, use a basket with specialty grass for your gift presentation.
  
  

Variety Store

• Stretch your dollar further by purchasing items for your grandchildren from a cheaper variety retail store. Items like coloring books and crayons, candies, costumes or clothing for playing dress up are for sale at these types of stores. Around holidays like Easter there are seasonal items for sale. Shopping at these types of stores makes crafting an Easter or birthday basket more affordable.
  
  

Spring Garden

• Gardening is a fun activity for kids and adults alike, and it is even better when you tend and cultivate a garden together. Purchase a small bucket, a packet of seeds, some flower pots (if you do not have a plot of land available) and potting soil. Include a pair of gardening gloves and a hand shovel, too. Present the items in the bucket with a ribbon tied to the handle.
  
  

Gift cards

• Sometimes, instead of giving a tangible present, the best gift to give someone is a gift card to her favorite retail outlet or restaurant. The receiver picks out what she wants when she wants, if she has a gift card. You do not have to spend a huge amount of money. Gift cards are also available for online music websites and movie theaters.
