Tip 10 Buying Christmas presents on a small budget: Putting together several people

  • Pooling money with multiple people is a smart way to buy a nice Christmas gift without going over the budget per person. By sharing the costs, you can choose a larger or more expensive Christmas gift that really makes an impression. Ideal for family, friends or colleagues who want to contribute something special to the holidays together. It makes buying a Christmas gift affordable and fun, even if you have a small budget.

Tip 11 Buying Christmas gifts on a budget: Draw names

  • Buying Christmas gifts for multiple people can be easy and budget-friendly with a name-draw system. Everyone in the group draws a name and buys only one gift, especially for that person. This way, you don't have to buy a gift for everyone in the group and it remains personal. By agreeing on a maximum amount together, it remains fair and affordable for everyone. With this system, you also have fun three times. The first time during the drawing of the names, because that can be quite exciting and surprising. The second time during the search for a suitable Christmas gift. And the third time during the giving of the Christmas gift to the person whose name you drew; and receiving a Christmas gift from the person who drew your name. Fun and coziness guaranteed, and all that on a low budget.

Tip 12 Buying Christmas presents on a budget: Save during the year

  • Saving during the year is the key to buying a nice Christmas present, even on a low budget, and therefore without financial stress. Put aside a small amount each month in a special piggy bank or in a separate account, so that you have completed a nice amount by the holidays. Even with small amounts you can buy great Christmas presents and enjoy a carefree Christmas full of atmosphere, coziness and warmth. Start saving today! Suppose you put aside an amount of €5 each month, then after one year you will have saved €60. That is already a very nice amount to buy a Christmas present on a small budget. With that amount you can even buy a nice Christmas present for two people. Apply our tip about filtering a collection according to a minimum and a maximum price, and you will stay nicely within the saved amount.

Tip 13 Buying Christmas gifts on a budget: Buy only one gift per person per year

  • Buying only one gift per person per year for Christmas, New Year, birthday, Valentine's Day, etc. buy together, why not? Buying one grouped gift for different occasions together is a smart way to give something special with a low budget. With one well-thought-out gift you make an impression, without exceeding your low budget. Agree with the recipient when you will give the gift. We think the Christmas holidays are a nice opportunity to surprise the recipient with the annual Christmas gift, end-of-year gift, birthday gift and Valentine's Day gift in one. During the other moments you can still give a nice handwritten card.

Tip 14 Buying Christmas gifts on a budget: Buy Christmas gifts in bulk

  • Buying Christmas gifts in bulk is a smart choice if you are on a budget. By purchasing larger sets of products, such as scented candles, mugs or candy, you save per item and can surprise multiple people. Discounts on bulk orders help you save even more. With this approach, you can give affordable, yet beautiful gifts without breaking your budget. Feel free to contact us to request a discount on a purchase of multiple items.
