Gifts don’t have to cost you a fortune to come from the heart. Here are some nice ideas for gifts that shouldn’t cost you more than ten dollars. They are sweet, and would probably be more meaningful to that person than the money.

  1. A child’s artwork in a frame
  2. A coffee mug with a special message (you can add a box of herbal tea)
  3. A collage of significant pictures (special memories with that person)
  4. A decorative basket of fruit and cheese
  5. Cloth napkins with napkin rings (great house warming gift)
  6. A decorative container of candy (make sure it is their favorite)
  7. Create a simple but fun board game to play with them
  8. A nice stationery set (choose a design that shows their personality or favorite animal)
  9. An elegant box for keepsakes or jewelry
  10. A decorated and hand written recipe book (original recipes are always well-received!)

The more thoughtful you are with the gift, the more special it will be. Remember, it is the thought that counts.
