Gift giving is not about how much you spend, it really is the thought that counts!
Step one: Set a budget! Remain mindful of your budget throughout the season. Step two: Do your research- make a list of recipients and your gift ideas/ prices
Many retail websites allow you to search by price- I would highly recommend Pier 1 and Target for your gift selection- be sure you check that the item is in-stock at your local store (shipping can be expensive).
Also, google “coupons” for the stores you are interested in for great weekly sales. Example: You can find promo codes for Victoria’s Secret online.
Depending on the recipient, do not underestimate the dollar store/ the dollar section at target. My sister is a student teacher and she was able to put together bags full of Christmas goodies for 28 students spending only $30 (total). This can also work for themed gift baskets/ bags
Tube of ornaments= $1 at Target. My sister attached ornaments to her gift bags for her students

Homemade desserts are another great idea! People love yummy treats!!
Buying in bulk can also result in great deals! This only works if you have several people that would appreciate the same type of gift. Ex: a set of mugs or photo frames that you can separate and give to different people. In the past, I have decorated picture frames for friends; this can be a really neat/ personalized gift.
Don’t be afraid to get creative- if you have a skill run with it. I like to knit- so I made a scarf for my mom this year. Scrap books are also a great idea.
