So you're in college. You have almost no money, and the money you do have is used to buy that late night pizza right before finals. You're half way through eating it when you remember the holidays are in like a week. You have no presents for anyone, so you stuff the rest of the pizza in your mouth due to stress. The next day you go out to search for gifts, just to have the sad realization that you literally have like ten dollars in your account. But you have to do something! SO here is my list of cheap last minute gift ideas for those friends or family members that you just NEED to get something for!
1. Hand painted meaningful quote or picture.
Simply Canvas 3-Piece Panel Set: $4.97 at Walmart- so you can make THREE!
2. Your favorite book! (Perfect for people like me aka English Majors)
Just go to a thrift store or give them one of your own copies!
3. A picture of the two of you, or all of you in a cute frame.
Just go grab a cheap frame from a thrift shop and repaint it! (or if its cute just add the picture!)
4. Cookies! Or other baked goods :)
Just find your favorite recipe, get a cheap tin at a thrift shop, or find a box! Also, make sure you pay attention to the persons allergies or dietary needs and choices.
5. Huge, cheesy, ugly sweater!
All you have to do for this gift, is search around thrift shops and get a giant sweater. Larger the better in my personal opinion. Also, who wouldn't want one of these?
6. A personal, deep and heartfelt letter.
Just grab a sheet of paper and let it all out!
7. Something you made in that random art class you took.
No matter how bad it looks, the fact that you made it will mean the world! For example, I took a ceramics class last semester, so you know everyone's getting a random bowl that's kind of good but not really. :)
8. A little plant in a cute flower pot.
You can either get a cute pot and put a plant in, or find a cute plant and paint the pot! Or just give it as is! Small plants are adorable, so either way.
9. Cheesy comedy, horror or any genre that they prefer
For this one, you can go to one of those resale movie shops, (always a lot of options and usually pretty cheap so I totally recommend that) or you can search the Walmart five dollar bin!
10. Bag of their favorite snacks!
Just get a gift bag and stuff it with cheap snacks they like! Cheap and tasty gift!
Hope these ten ideas help you guys out! Happy Holidays!
