For those of you who have extended lists of people to buy for, I’ve compiled a whole new list of inexpensive Christmas gift ideas.

Take your pick for those you want to gift:

1. Bag ‘O Gift Certificates and Coupons. Maybe you have somebody on your list that just loves a special deal, and you are, like me, somebody who often doesn’t use the gift cards or certificates or even the special coupon deals you accumulate. Why not re-gift these items with somebody who loves them and enjoys using them to shop?

You can add a couple more gift cards geared specifically toward them, for just a little more cash, put the whole thing in a gift bag with a bow, and Voila! An instant, tailored, and very cool gift anyone would be happy to receive.

2. Magazine Subscription Two-Fer. Many magazines offer a discounted rate at this time of year, so that you are able to sign yourself, plus a person of your choice up for a magazine subscription. This is especially great for a friend with whom you share a special interest, such as a fellow writer—perhaps interested in Poets & Writers. Or somebody interested in finance—maybe a subscription to Money magazine would be in order.

3. Wallet for a Man. Always a classy gift, and always inexpensive, too, as fine grain leather wallets can be had at many drugstores and department stores/discount stores for $7 or less.

The nice thing about this idea is that guys are always wearing out wallets—the need is usually there. Unlike women with thirty purses, they often have only one wallet they use day in and day out, and they wear out fast! If not immediately, they can use your gift in a month or two, certainly.

4. Duvet Cover. This would perhaps be good for a family member who has a cherished quilt made by Grandma or Sis and wants to use it, but keep it fresh, too. A duvet can also be used in refreshing the décor of any bedroom. At $20-$60, it is an inexpensive and thoughtful gift for somebody on your list.

You may want to throw in a couple decorative pillows, and you have a total bed makeover.

5. A Gift of Stocks. They say now, when things look bleakest, and stock prices are lowest, is the time to buy. Why not take advantage of the stock market dip to shine a bright light into the future for some deserving person on your list? You can probably afford it this year, and there have got to be some bargains out there!
