5 Smart Gift Giving Tips That Will Save You Money

May 22, 2019 | Leave a Comment

Did you know that American’s spend over $1000 on holiday gifts alone? Gift giving can get expensive. So how can you give gifts on a budget without looking stingy?

It’s easy to find small ways to save money when gift giving. We’re breaking down five simple hacks to keep cash in your wallet, while still wowing your friends. Here’s how you can shower your loved ones with gifts they’ll love.

1. Shop Sales

There is no shame in shopping the sale rack! If you’re looking for an easy way to find deals at a store stop by the sale section first. There are always hidden treasures in the discount aisle.

The sale or clearance section is perfect for both in-store and online shopping. This is a great way to purchase a gift from your family member or friends’ favorite store but pay a lower price.

2. Use Coupons

Coupons are a great way to get in-season products at a lower cost. Coupon clipping is not just for extreme couponers. It’s easy to find coupons online, in apps, and of course, the mail.

Many websites have great collections of coupons. For example, at prettysweet.com there are great deals for Snapfish. It can be fun to hunt down the right coupon for your gift!

3. Don’t Be Afraid to Regift

Regifting may be perceived as a faux-pas but it can save you in a pinch. If you have something of value that was gifted to you and you aren’t using it, regifting is a good way to save money and not let a product go to waste.

Owning two coffee makers doesn’t do you much good. However, regifting your second coffee maker to a newlywed couple, or a student going off to college is a great use of a brand new product. Regifting saves you money and reduces product waste.

4. Get Crafty with DIY

Homemade gifts can be a great alternative to forking over cash for an expensive gift. For a fraction of the cost of a store-bought gift, crafts can be personal and unique gifts. Save money by getting crafty!

Find beautiful DIY gift ideas on websites likes Pinterest. Homemade gifts can be very thoughtful and heartfelt. If you like to craft or have a special skill such as knitting, DIY is a great way to save money and have fun.

5. Design and Print Your Own Card

If your heart is set on an expensive gift but you still want to save money, try creating your own card. Websites like Canva help you design your own greeting card. This can save you money by printing at home.

Personalized cards are an easy way to save $5. Creating your own card also gives you the freedom to design it to your liking. Finding the right card at the store can be tricky, avoid that hunt by making your own at home.
