7 super inexpensive (or free) gift ideas!

I know the cost of gifts can add up FAST. Today I wanted to share some thoughtful but cost-effective gift ideas.

Framed printable

You can find some really beautiful prints FOR FREE on Pinterest. Just type in “inspirational printable” and you’ll find a ton. You can also find Bible verses or book quotes you can print and pop into a frame.

Here are 20 FREE inspirational prints.

Photo coaster

If you have some photos or access to your recipient’s Instagram, you can print out photos and mod podge them onto some tiles.

Here is a complete tutorial.

Recipe book

I have created some free cards for you to write your recipes. You could also just type them in a Word document, print them and put them in a three-ring binder.

Your favorite book

Do you have a book you love? Grab if off your shelf. Write an inscription add a candy bar or packet of hot chocolate and tie it with a bow.

An upcycled frame

Grab an old frame from the thrift store and add some twine and clothespins for a great gift. Here is a tutorial.

Plants

If you have a green thumb consider giving away one of your plants. My neighbor frequently gives me plants she has propagated and I love them.

Your time

Babysit, clean, organize, take photos. What’s your talent? Offer it as a gift!
