Low or No-Cost Gift Ideas

My last post of being frugal for a while, as it is time to move on to a different focus. It doesn't have to cost anything in the way of money to give a loving gift.  Try one of these frugal gifts and see how thrilled your recipient is.
  • Print them off a handmade coupon for a back massage.
  • Cook a special dinner for a friend or loved one.
  • Give someone a special a day of pampering.
  • Write a poem or a quote in honor of someone's birthday.
  • Create a drawing or painting that has special meaning.
  • Make them a piece of jewelry out of seashells or pinecones.
  • Print off information on a topic of interest to someone.
  • Pass along a family heirloom or something that has sentimental value.
  • Surprise someone with a picnic using food that you already have on hand.
  • Make cookies or fudge and wrap them in tissue paper.
  • Send an e-mail that lists out the reasons why they are special or why you love them.
  • Give them an old photograph that has been tucked away for some time.
  • Create a hobby scrapbook with images, articles, and tidbits about their favorite activity.
  • Give them a seedling to grow using one of your own plants.
  • Find a funky shaped rock and write a story about what it reminds you of.
  • Sew together pieces of old clothing for a truly unique table runner.
  • Create a gift voucher for one hour of doing whatever they want.
  • Weed their garden for them or rake their lawn.
  • Decorate a household utensil with craft items you have on hand.
  • Give them a hug.
  • Give them a kiss.
Don't be embarrassed if you are a little short on cash or if you want to try one of these free gift ideas. The best gifts really do come from the heart.
