Christmas can be a very expensive time of year. Gift giving is fun, but can really add up and cause a lot of stress for people, which isn’t what Christmas time should be about. I love gift giving, but I also love sticking to a budget around Christmas time. I’ve compiled a list of 15 affordable Christmas present ideas for your friends and family. There should be a gift on this list that will be a fit for everyone in your life.

Framed Family Photos

You can find affordable picture frames at Target, and through Walgreens you can quickly order family photos. This is a gift I typically do every year for our parents and my sister. It’s meaningful, thoughtful and affordable. You can shop HERE, I’ve gathered some affordable options for you!

A Book + Coffee

For that loved one who loves to cozy up with a warm cup of coffee and a new book. You can get a new book for under $20 typically, pair that with a $5 Starbucks gift card, tie it all together with cute ribbon and a candy cane!

Coffee Lover Gift

Target has the most adorable coffee mugs for $5! Pair that with a Starbucks giftcard and you’re done! Easy and anyone that loves coffee as much as myself will love this gift.

Wine Lover Friend

Dollar Tree has wine glasses and cute baskets, go there and grab two wine glasses and one basket ($3). Then head to your local wine store and ask for the best vino they have for under $20. You’ll be surprised, good wine doesn’t always mean expensive. Even my professor in college teaching the wine class said so ;). This can even be a wonderful gift for a couple.

Cold Brew Coffee Addict

Cold brew at a coffee shop can be one of the most expensive things on the menu. Gift your friend or family member a cold brew maker to save them a few $$ throughout the year! I’ve linked a few HERE that are under $25.

A Cookbook

Your friend or family member love their air fryer? Get them a cookbook for it! Do they eat paleo? There’s a cookbook for that. Does your loved one have limited time? Find them a cookbook for simple meals. I’ve found a few that might be helpful for you! Shop them HERE or tap the image below.

Beauty Holiday Giftset

Almost every big brand does a “giftset” around the holidays. This can be such a great savings on beauty and skincare products. For that person in your life that loves high end brands, this could be a fun way to grab them a little something that looks festive but won’t break the bank. For example, this Clinique lipstick set is a $100 value for only $25!

Shop Local

If you know your friends favorite local spot (restaurant, coffee shop, boutique, etc), pop in and grab a gift card. This is a wonderful way to support small businesses and also a wonderful way to show your friend/family member that you care by showing them you take note of their favorite spot + took the time to go in there and grab a gift card for them. I’ve received gift cards before to my favorite mom & pop coffee shops and it can feel more special and intimate than a Starbucks gift card.

A Personalized Calendar

We do this every year for our Grandparents and they absolutely love it. We compile photos of everyone in the family and create a custom calendar for them to enjoy all year long. We always create ours on Shutterfly for under $25 ( wait for a coupon code, they have them every year).

Anthropologie Monogram Mugs

Anthropologie has the most adorable monogram mugs for only $14! I have the black and white one pictured below, it was a gift for my birthday, and I absolutely love it. You can shop these mugs HERE or click the image below.

I hope these gift ideas were helpful! But above all I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, spend quality time with your loved ones, and remember that CHRISTmas is the day our savior Jesus CHRIST was born. That truly is the greatest gift this season.
