Best Inexpensive Gifts for Women

Aren’t we all looking for great gifts at a cheap price right now? I love to get my girlfriends, mom, mother-in-law, sister-in-laws, and coworkers something small but thoughtful for holidays and birthdays, but all those ladies can get expensive!

So, I’ve picked out my favorite gifts for women that aren’t too expensive. Here are my top twenty!

1. Handmade jewelry …

I love getting one-of-a-kind pieces for gifts. It really tells the person you’re buying for that they’re unusual and unique! You can often get a great deal on this stuff, too.

2. Bottle of wine …

I can find great deals on a good bottle of wine at my locally owned wine shop. I’ve gotten to know the owner, so he’s always willing to suggest something tasty that’s within my budget. And wine is always a great gift!  Don’t know which to choose?

3. Books …

Books are some of my favorite gifts. I read all the time, so I love getting a book! Plus, books are great because you can get a current bestselling paperback for under $20. I really think about what the person I’m buying for is interested, then I choose a book that fits.

4. Candles and Candle holders …

All ladies love candlelight – I think it is so romantic! I can always find pretty candleholders and great scented candles for a good price at my local megamart. So, putting together a pretty basket of candles and candleholders can be done cheaply and easily.

5. Framed photos …

I love pictures, and all my girlfriends do, too. Most women that I know have photos all over their homes and offices. I can always find a fashionable picture frame for less than $25, and then it just costs a couple of cents to print pictures at Snapfish. Its a great personalized gift!

6. Pedometer …

With the new fitness craze of getting in 10,000 steps in day, all of my friends are wearing pedometers now. They’re a fun, easy-to-use exercise tool, and I can find a cute, well-made pedometer for less than $50. So, I’ve gotten these for several friends recently.

7. Homemade baked goods …

I love to cook, and I get a lot of joy out of cooking for friends. I spend less than $15 on baking ingredients, a cute basket, and a kitchen towel, and I can make a great little gift basket for someone. Even just a simple loaf of homemade bread with some inexpensive kitchen accessories makes a great gift!

8. Discount DVD’s …

Have you looked in the discount DVD bin at your local superstore lately? I check those bins every time I’m in the store, and I always find a great old movie or two for less than $10! These make great gifts! I’ll buy a classic romance for an older woman, or a favorite movie from our teenage years for my college friends, and I’ve got a fun present for practically nothing!  

9. Personalized CD …

I helped my sister-in-law burn a custom CD for my brother last year, and he just loved it. I know lots of ladies would love this gift, too. We just chose about twenty meaningful songs that they had remembrances of, and we put them together in a compilation CD. For less than $20, my sister-in-law had a great gift that lasts a long time!

10. Bath products …

In the past, getting high-quality bath products as a gift meant I had to spend at least $50. But, with all the brands on the market now, I can get a great set of bath salts, lotion, and body wash for less than $20! I pair them with a great loofah sponge or eye mask, and that’s a relaxing, thoughtful gift!
