Christmas Gift Ideas Under $50 for the Budget-Conscious

Not that we’re a scrooge or advocate being a scrooge, but the year-end festive season often means shopping season as we scramble to tick things off our gift lists. That means a flurry of picking gifts, wrapping them (inexpertly), and then scribbling a quick note before mailing them off.

More often than not, we end up buying generic gifts because we 1) don’t have enough time, b) aren’t close to the recipients, c) need to be efficient in preparing all the gifts, or d) just have no idea anymore.

If you’re just getting started on your Christmas shopping and are worried that your wallet may take a huge hit this season, fret not! There are ways to get through the gifting season without busting your budget.

Here are some gift ideas that won’t break the bank:
