1) Experience Gifts
This could be anything from purchasing a yearly zoo membership to taking a frugal trip to a local attraction. You can make up little cards to put in the kids’ stockings that tell them about and get them excited about their experience gift for the year!
Our children’s grandparents have given them money for t-ball or swim lessons (along with gifts they can open because grandparents like to do that too) ;)
2) Repurpose an old picture frame and make a memory board or jewelry holder.
3) DIY Lego Table or Tray
Here’s a Lego tray you can make for as little as $5!
You can find another great Lego tray idea at The Handyman’s Daughter.
4) DIY Letter Artwork
The photo below is from my friend Tiffany. She used some old buttons they found at her grandmother’s house to make these for her children and nieces/nephews!
5) Easy No-Sew Fleece Blanket
We have several of these and they are such a great gift for a child, maybe to make for children in your community who do not normally receive gifts for Christmas!
6) DIY iPad Display and Chalkboard
I made one for myself using scrap wood and stain I already had and use it constantly!
7) Homemade Spice Rubs for Cooking
Homemade gifts are gifts I consider to have lasting meaning when they are truly useful and thoughtful!
8) Homemade Hot Cocoa
9) DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice Sugar Scrubs
10) Homemade Bubble Bath
Find the homemade bubble bath recipe HERE. Combine with a couple of fun bath toys for your littlest ones!
11) Age-Appropriate Bible
There are many nice Bibles that can be found for a reasonable price, from children’s Bibles to adult Bibles that have great commentaries. This is definitely a gift with lasting meaning!
12) Books!
They’re the perfect gift that lasts and they don’t have to be expensive! There are often holiday deals on Amazon or other online bookstores that you can make use of. Look for book orders through your child’s school and purchase paperback versions of the books advertised to keep it even more budget friendly
13) Open-ended and collective toys
A large set of classic Legos, building blocks or Lincoln Logs can be a great way to encourage creativity and learn to work together with their siblings!
14) Family Class
Why not enroll your family in a fun class that you can all do together? Pottery, painting and ice skating are just the start of ideas!
15) Cooking Class for Kids
Gift a cooking class to your budding chef!
16) Heirloom Cookbooks
This is a great DIY project to preserve all the beautiful recipes from your mom, grandma or other loved ones!
17) Family and friends photo book for babies
My mom made one of these for each of my babies!
18) Christmas Tea Towel
I love this Christmas themed Tea Towel that can be personalized with family names.
You can also get a custom tea towel with a favorite family recipe printed on it.
If you’re giving to someone who could use some Scriptural encouragement, check out these Scripture tea towels from The Daily Grace shop!
19) Audiobooks
American Girl, Brinkman Family Adventures and Little House audiobooks are well loved by our kids ages 4, 7 and 9! Plus, it doesn’t create clutter.
20) Art supplies or craft supplies
Easy to purchase with coupons at stores like Hobby Lobby and Michaels. Sometimes Amazon has great deals as well.
Combine it with a crafting book for a creative gift.
21) Pajamas
Quite often you can find pajamas on sale around Christmas time, we purchased a set of pajamas for each of our kids for $7.99 each. Something they love to find in a package or their stocking and keeps them cozy for many months (at least where we live the cold weather lasts many months!)
