Around the holidays it seems like a time where you have to spend a lot of money on friends and family to show them how much you love them, but I know for most of us that isn’t really feasible. Here are some ideas that can help you show your loved ones you care without spending all you earned this year.

A photo book, photo in a frame, polaroid’s, collage, are all really meaningful and cute ways to show your loved ones you care and bring back all of your best memories with them. Its thoughtful and practical for them without costing you a lot.
2. Colored box
Something that my friend did for me was put together a box of some of my favorite snacks, and other fun items all in my favorite color. This is another fun way to show you care and you can get really creative with it!
3. Bake
When in doubt, food. Everyone loves Christmas themed baked goods! It will show you put in time for them, and they will love it.
