It’s that time of year again…
The time where you have to go to a million stores, get annoyed by pushy people while shopping and lose your mind when you find the perfect gift but look at the price tag.
Don’t let the stress of finding someone a gift get to you. Here are a few inexpensive gift ideas you can make for a friend, or that special someone.

You can’t possibly go wrong with food-related gifts! Everyone loves food. Just fill a jar with an assortment of candy, or bake a dessert and put it in a cute container. Simple and easy.
2. Framed picture
You just need to get a picture frame and a picture of whatever you want! You can then add decorations on the side or paint the frame. Here’s how to recreate this frame.
3. Knitted scarf
‘Tis the season to learn a new craft! Buy some yarn and some knitting needles, then get to work. Here are some instructional videos to help you get started. This will show your loved ones how much you care because you took the time to hand-make something.
4. Decorated mug
This is super cute! Get inexpensive mugs at the dollar store and add decorations as desired. You can also buy some hot chocolate to add to the gift to make it more Christmas-related. Here’s a how-to guide to help!
5. Reindeer beer
This is great for a last minute gift idea! Buy a case of beer, googly eyes, pipe cleaner and red fluff balls.

This takes minimal effort and it looks adorable.
