Christmas is still a ways off, but if you head out to any of your local stores it’s pretty likely they’re about to start stocking their shelves for the Christmas season.

I was at my local Target store this week and now that Halloween is in the past they’re putting up the Christmas tree displays, selling wrapping paper and Christmas gifts galore.

They were even playing Christmas music over the loudspeakers. Everything they do is done in order to make as much money on you and Christmas as they can. That’s understandable – they’re in business to make money.

At our house Christmas is important because it’s a time to celebrate the birth of our savior, a time to enjoy being with our families, and it’s a time to sit back and be thankful for all of the blessings that we’ve been given.

The materialism that has overtaken Christmas in our culture, however, makes it easy to make Christmas be all about the gifts. If you’re not careful it can quickly become the most expensive month of the year.

100-frugal-christmas-gifts

If you’re trying to watch how much you spend, it’s important to set a Christmas budget, save up cash for that budget, and then stay within it. Once you’ve set a budget finding gifts that can fit within it or that are a bit more frugal than some other possible choices can be tough. You really have to be creative.   The key, however is to be thoughtful and personal. Here are 10 frugal gifts to start us out:

Today in this post I thought I would expand on a list of frugal Christmas gifts that I put out last year – expanding the list to a nice round number of 110 frugal Christmas gifts. Have your own ideas?  Please feel free to add them in the comments!

NOTE: The frugality of the gifts vary from gift to gift, but I’ve linked some possibilities on Amazon and other sites. You can probably find some cheaper ways to put these things together yourself if you try.

List Of 100+ Frugal Christmas Gifts

  1. Baked goods: I don’t know any guy who wouldn’t love to get a box full of cookies, banana bread and pastries! (Hint: not good for someone on a diet)
  2. Free Internet Access: FreedomPop offers 500MB of Free Internet access on-the-go. They have compact and sleek hotspots – the perfect stocking stuffer. Best of all you’d be giving free internet every month for the rest of their lives.  Most affordable hotspots can be had for $40-50, or less if you find a deal. Full review here.
  3. If you’ve got an old laptop, make a frugal digital picture frame out of it!: At 14-15″ it’ll be bigger than most you buy at the stores, and cheaper since you’ll be using old parts!
  4. Cut the cord kit: Help someone cut the cord on cable TV by buying them a lifetime license to PlayOn online DVR software and a streaming device like the Roku Ultra.
  5. Custom engraved bamboo artcustom-bamboo-art: I used a small business on Etsy to have a custom laser-engraved piece of art created (see it to the right).  Affordable for a custom piece of art!
  6. Personalized Calendars: Most photo processing places will have these personalized calendars you can buy, or pick up pre-made ones in Target’s dollar bins. Get photos of you and the person you’re giving the gift to in each season, and place them in the appropriate month/season of the year!
  7. Themed gift baskets: Give a themed gift basket. For example, a movie night theme basket with microwave popcorn, a movie or two, and some cheapo popcorn buckets from Target dollar bin.
  8. Custom t-shirts: Create your own custom t-shirt for a family member on Cafepress. It can be cheaper than you think!
  9. Scrapbooks: Make a scrapbook for a close friend showing moments you’ve shared together. My wife did this for a friend’s wedding. Very meaningful.
  10. Donation to a local charity: Give to a local charity in someone’s name. Make sure it’s a charity that they would actually give to.
  11. Handmade Christmas ornaments: make personalized Christmas ornaments for your friends and family!
  12. Board Games: buy a board game, a gift that gets the family together and keeps on giving all year long! Even better, if you can find some board games at garage sales or on ebay, create a themed game night gift basket (see above)!
  13. Family history DVD: Put together a family history DVD with photos, written family histories, family tree, video and anything else you can think of.
  14. Framed family picture: Take a picture at a family event, frame it, and give it as a gift!
  15. Coupon Books: Make a personalized coupon book with such favorite coupons as “back rub”, “dinner” or “clean the house”.  Or for parents, give them babysitting coupons!
  16. Make a blanket: make a nice fleece blanket. Instructions here.
  17. Make some custom painted wine glasses: Make some custom painted wine glasses, and then give them along with a bottle of wine. Instructions here.
  18. Give a magazine subscription: My brother loves reading National Geographic and the Economist. We gave him subscriptions as a gift.
  19. Romantic evening gift set: Candles and silk flower petals! Cheap and fun!
  20. Keeping warm gift set: Give a gift set of hat, scarf and gloves. Add long underwear as well if you wish!
  21. Leatherbound journal: buy a nice leatherbound journal at your local Borders or Barnes and Noble. They make for a nice gift. Add a nice pen if you want to pay a little more.
  22. Craft Kit: Put together a crafting kit with things like markers, glitter, scissors, clay, crayons, glue, paper, etc.
  23. Photo Collage: If you’re handy with Photoshop or another image editing software, create a photo collage/montage, print it out and frame it! Or if you don’t have Photoshop, print separate pictures and create a collage.
  24. Movie Tickets: Buy a pair of movie passes or a movie gift card for someone to go see a movie. Not as cheap as it used to be :).
  25. Buy a someone a share in an index fund: Buy a family member a gift card for a brokerage or a share in a total stock market index fund. Then give them a copy of a finance book like Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover (although you may want to stress that you’re giving it because it has helped you. People can get touchy about money related gifts)
  26. Flannel Sheets and PJs: Buy a keeping comfy gift pack with flannel sheets and pajamas!
  27. Coffee lovers gift pack: Buy some gourmet coffee and a personalized coffee cup for the coffee lover on your list.
  28. Set of soaps, towels and soap dish: Put together a nice matching set of hand towel and soap dish, and then give some handmade soaps.
  29. Homemade glycerin soaps with toys inside: Make your own soap for kids that has toys inside. The child has to lather up to get the toy!
  30. Big breakfast gift pack: Put together a gift pack with pancake mix, batter dispenser, syrup and pancake mix-ins.
  31. Puzzle day: Give a gift pack of a puzzle and snacks to eat while you do the puzzle!
  32. BBQ Kit: Get some BBQ sauce from a local source, and add it to a nice BBQ Utensil kit.
  33. Basket of spices and seasonings: Put together a basket of seasonings and spices from a local spice or grocery store. Make sure to get a good mix for cooking, BBQs, etc.
  34. Netflix or Amazon Prime subscription: Pay for someone to have Netflix or Amazon Prime for a couple of months. If they have a connected device, they can even stream movies!
  35. Deck of cards and book of card games: Buy a cheap pack of cards, and a book listing the rules of different card games. Good for hours of fun!
  36. Cheap keychain digital picture viewer: Buy someone a cheap digital picture viewer keychain (around $15?) and fill it with pictures.
  37. Bath time gift pack: Buy a nice wash cloth, some bath oils/beads and even some lotions at your local bath store.
  38. Laser Etched Crystal: Need a unique Christmas gift? Turn any photo into a 3D crystal image. While this isn’t the most frugal option on the list, if you’re looking for something special, you can find something well under $100. Use coupon code BUY3DGIFTS to save 20%.
  39. Botanicals: buy a nice low maintenance plant to brighten up their day, along with a small watering can.

  61. Accessories: Know someone with the new iPhone? Give them an Iphone accessories pack. Father with a Android phone? Give him his own cell phone accessories.

  76. Football gift pack: Have someone obsessed with football? Get them a t-shirt for their favorite team, a team blanket for cuddling up and watching games on Sunday and some snacks!
  77. Write a poem: Write a “Where I’m From Poem”, either about yourself for the gift receiver, or about them. Details here.
  78. Custom collage notebook: One year my brother made me a notebook that had a fun photo and magazine clipping collage on the cover. It was creative and I used that notebook for quite a while.
  79. Movie based on a book: Buy someone a book that you enjoyed, as well as the movie based on that book.
  80. A secret hiding spot book: You can make someone a book with a secret hiding spot where they can hide money or their secret identity. Or a slightly less frugal alternative.
  81. Give a retirement planning book: Have someone who is always asking for financial planning advice?  Give a book like “Can I Retire?” from fellow financial blogger Mike Piper.
  82. Children’s imagination kit: Give a child a kit full of things to help them be creative and imaginative.  Things like a sketch book and colored pencils, scissors and paper.  Then make a list of creative ideas of things to do – like use your kit to make tickets to a play, and a  playbill – then give a play!
  83. A Yo-Yo: You can buy a yo-yo for less than $5 on Amazon, but kids will have hours of fun trying to master their new toy. For younger kids, get one of the auto-return yo-yo models for less frustration.
  84. Brand new thrift store finds: Visit your local thrift store.  They often have brand new toys, craft kits and more that were donated by local stores.  Buy something new, at a used price.
  85. Write and illustrate your own children’s story:  Instead of buying a children’s book, write and illustrate your own – and personalize it for the child.
  86. Make a broken crayon t-shirt with your kids:  Use those broken crayons that kids have lying around to make a creative t-shirt for another kid!  Or instead of a t-shirt melt down your crayons and make new crazy color crayons in your own custom mold.
  87. Car emergency kit:   Put together an auto emergency bag for someone’s car that includes a nice flashlight, batteries,  candle, matches, jumper cables, and anything else you can think of.
  88. Teacup candle:  Take that family heirloom teacup and put it to good use by making a teacup candle out of it. Include a story of where the cup came from and why it’s special.
  89. Christmas party games book:  Put together a book of Christmas party games that the giftee can play at their party.
  90. Read a children’s book .MP3/CD: If you’re a grandparent or have kids, get a cheap USB microphone and read a selection of the kid’s favorite books and record them to a CD or set of .MP3s that the children can listen to.  Or buy a few new books and read those.
  91. Brew your own beer and give some away:  I know of one gentleman who brews his own beer, and then gives away growlers of his homebrew for Christmas.
  92. Homemade refrigerator magnets: Make creative magnets for someone’s fridge.  Things like marble magnets, photo magnets or to-do list magnets.
  93. Kids dress-up box: Put together a kids play kit with old jewelry, clothes, wigs or other accessories so that the child can play dress-up.
  94. Good night sleep tight gift set:  Put together a gift package with a cute nightlight and set of books for story time.
  95. Make a marshmallow gun: Boys on your list will love this gift – a DIY marshmallow gun.
  96. Homemade treasure soaps:  Make your own treasure soap for kids on the list with cool treasures (like small rubber toys) encased.
  97. Make your own Jerky:  I’ve actually gotten homemade jerky from a friend for Christmas. It was delicious. Enough said.
  98. A basket of your favorite things:  Go to a store and fill a cheap basket with some of that person’s favorite things. Favorite candy, favorite food, favorite movie or book, etc.
  99. Change jar savings kit:  Give a child a change jar of some sort, with some starter change already in it.  Then teach them about money!
  100. Draw names, give one nice gift:  Our family has done this some years where instead of buying 10 so-so gifts – often for $10-30 each, we’ll buy one nice gift for $50-100 for one family member.  Nice way to save money and have each person get one really nice gift.
  101. Keep in touch kit:  Have an older relative you’d like to keep in touch with more?  Buy them a cheap webcam and install it and Skype for them. Install a free remote desktop software like Logmein.com in order to help them connect if they can’t figure it out.
  102. Wooden toys or gifts: You can go to a woodworking store and buy DIY wooden toy kits, or plans to make your own pretty affordably.  My dad bought me wood one year, then we did the DIY woodworking project together after Christmas.
  103. Bluetooth headphones: You can buy a pair of Bluetooth headphones for $10-20.  With kids playing on their phones and tablets so much these days, the gift will be appreciated by them and their parents for the silence it brings.
  104. Garage sale refurbished items:  Find something cool or vintage at a garage sale, refurbish or turn it into something new and give it as a gift!
  105. Camping gift pack and experience:  Have a kid that loves camping? Put together a small camping gift pack (flashlight, knife, backpack) and then a certificate promising to take them camping when it’s nice out.
  106. Write a nice letter a month:  Write the person a nice personal letter about the things you appreciate about them, then send them another one each month of the year.  In the age of Facebook, it can be nice to receive something besides junk mail when you open the mailbox.
  107. Custom herb-infused olive oil:  Make and give the gift of a custom olive oil infused with the herbs and spices of your choice.
  108. DIY key rack: Make a unique DIY key rack for someone – after all – don’t we all lose our keys at one time or another?
  109. Give a golden ticket: Give a child a “golden ticket” just like Willy Wonka. The ticket can be used for a special day of fun at the zoo, local aquarium, or other attraction or activity of the child’s choice (within reason).
  110. A Groupon experience: Buy the giftee a certificate for some sort of experience from Groupon. Examples: Massage, salon experience, painting lesson.
  111. Save up to 90% or more on your gifts: Save a ton of money on your gifts by using a service like Snagshout. Snagshout allows you to purchase items on Amazon at a reduced price in exchange for an honest review.  Try out the gift, review it, and then give it as a gift while saving money! (Full review of Snagshout) I bought a $75 flashlight for $9.99 on Snagshout – and love it!
  112. Discounted gift cards!: Buy your gift cards at a discount at a site like GiftCardGranny.  For example, when I last checked AMC movie gift cards were sold at a 21% discount!

So there are my 100 ideas for frugal, creative or homemade Christmas gifts. What ideas do you have or have you used in the past? Tell us in the comments!

    Most of these are gift ideas, but not exactly inexpensive…a look at them puts many of them in the $80-$150 range, which is well out of range for many of us frugal folks.

      As i mention in the post,

      “The frugality of the gifts vary from gift to gift, but I’ve linked some possibilities on Amazon and other sites. You can probably find some cheaper ways to put these things together yourself if you try.”

      In other words, the gift ideas aren’t all frugal if you buy them outright. They’re meant to be a starting point to get you thinking about creative ways to give at Christmas. If you were to put the gifts together on your own – without buying the pre-made version – they will be a lot more frugal. Thanks Kate!

      80-150? Not necessarily. Obviously if you buy the items pre-made online they will probably come at a higher cost.That being said, I have on more than one holiday utilized some similar or same ideas and not spent that amount. Last year for example. I made painted coffee cups (Similar idea to #17). It cost me 2$ for brushes, 3$ for paint, and 16$ est for the glasses. I filled them with bagged hot chocolate and crushed candy canes, both of which i got under 3$. So for 26 bucks estimate, my extended family was good, they loved it too because the gift was less superficial.. Hard to find cool stuff these days. I also crocheted scarfs which cost me about an additional 20$. If truly intending to be frugal, its all about how creative you choose to be within your means (Pinterest is awesome for that!). Another example would be #7 or #19. Both of these sets could be easily done for under 10 bucks. Best of luck to you!

      Compared to the retail amount most families probably spend on a holiday anyway, this list is pretty cool, thanks for compiling Pete, I am going to try a few of these this year!

    I always feel like artists and crafters have it the best during the Holidays. They get to be extra frugal by making their own gifts!

    This is a great list by the way. I like that it includes gift packs. If you know something they are interested in, say golf, you can buy some tees, maybe a sleeve of golf balls, a few other small golf accessories and you will have a nice gift.

    I like to work with plastic canvas, so I’ll make bookmarks with 10-count canvas (so they’re not too thick) with the person’s name, or whatever they want it to say, stitched into it, and/or small 9-patch quilt magnets (in 7-count canvas) colour-coordinated to the person’s kitchen. I’ve got patterns for both the 9-patch and the alphabet, so I stitch the bookmarks with the lettering pattern, and the 9-patch is a very simple long-stitch design that takes me about an hour & a half to finish, because I’ve made so many.

    Wow. What a great list. I love homemade gifts but you shared so many more ideas than I ever would have thought of. I want me kids to try making homemade gifts for everyone this year so these ideas will be great for them.
