Affordable Christmas Presents That`ll Seriously Impress | Christmas Presents from GettingPersonal.co.uk

23 November 2009

These days some of us are feeling a little cash strapped. Unless you have been living under a rock the past two years then you've heard all about the credit crunch and recession and probably had to sell an arm and a leg and eat less like a king to stay afloat.

Some reports are saying that the economy is heading back in to the black but there's still no way that we can return to the excessive spending and easy credit days we've left behind. What that means for most of us, is that we need to find new ways to save money all year round and that includes Christmas presents!

You don't have to buy Christmas presents for your friends and family which cost a lot of money to show them that you care. There are loads of affordable Christmas presents out there which will still tell them that you love them without maxing out your credit card or overdraft!

Cheap and Cheerful

Token gifts such as funny books, photo frames and keepsakes are all appreciated by the people you give them to. Usually a little thought is all it takes and you'll find a gift which is well within your budget but which is bound to make the recipient laugh, smile or give you a big old hug. People want to know you've thought about them and made a little effort they want to feel that you know them well and understand what they like (such as hobbies and interests) and what they don't like!

For under £5 you could get a friend who is green fingered '50 ways to kill slugs' a great book on getting rid of those pesky cabbage-munchers, either humanely or insanely! The book offers loads of innovative ways to despatch slugs and could help a friend with an allotment or a much-loved garden to stave off the slimeys.

Or for under £25 you could get an actual table soccer game, for a football lover! It's great for teenage boys too who like to have friends over to play games and watch football matches. If your friends love sweet treats, retro sweet jars with funky personalised labels (that you can add your friend's name to) are available for under £15 each and they're jam packed with classic sweets like fruit salads, black jacks, refresher bars and foam shrimps!

If you're trying to find a bargain gift for a thrill seeker or something extra special for a partner Experience Days such as vineyard tours for two and adult tours of Twickenham (perfect for a rigby fan!) or a Steam Train Experience Day (which is great for those guys who love trains and engineering) all start at under £20 each. There are tons of other Christmas presents too, these are just a few ideas.

Choosing Glamour

Most people assume that if you spend less cash you'll be able to get less glamorous Christmas presents for your loved ones but that's really not true! The most glam Christmas presents gleam and we think that engraved items which are either 100 silver or silver plated make superb glamorous (yet affordable) Christmas gifts.

Again, there are engraved Christmas presents out there for everyone. Beautiful jewellery boxes, lipstick cases and compact mirrors engraved with messages on their top, side or back are ideal for mum and aunts. Tankards, hip flasks and wine bar sets with engraved messages which come from the heart are good for dads and grandads and engraved money boxes in a multitude of cool designs from mini coupe cars to pirate ships make excellent presents for kids and young people.

For a little romance you could get your male partner monogrammed cufflinks or a female lover a personalised necklace and champagne glasses and other engraved glasses make fantastic gifts for couples. What's more engraved gifts start at under £15.

Making Statements

Whatever Christmas presents you choose this year it's all about making a statement. That's why we think engraved gifts make such good choices, because they allow you to add a message and make a meaningful statement to your loved ones. It doesn't matter how you tell your friends and family you love them though really, as long as you do!

You can get them novelty Christmas presents that make them laugh, buy them sweets to enjoy as a guilty treat or dazzle them with a sparkling gift that gleams and says something personal. Whatever you do, so long as it comes from you and is accompanied by a message of love (no matter how much it cost) they will love it!
