Tickets for the Christmas tree. Unusual New Year's gifts if you have no money No money for gifts ng

For men
02.05.2020

Financial difficulties during the holiday period are an excellent reason for depression. When you look at an empty wallet, you want only one thing - to run away somewhere far away and wait until all this fuss is over. Since this is most often impossible to do, choosing gifts when there is no money turns into a real torment. But still, to prevent this from happening, I recommend reading the article on the Sunny Hands website “Why you can’t save money.” On one of these wonderful days, I decided to give up tedious shopping trips and see what I could order online. The search results shocked me to the core. I couldn’t even imagine that there are so many original, useful, and most importantly, inexpensive things in the world! It was from that moment that I became interested in the topic of gifts and found many interesting options for all occasions and for any budget. It turns out there are a lot of gift options when there is no money.

If your finances sing romances, I offer you 15 ideas, tested from my own experience, the implementation of which will require minimal costs - from 0 to 300 rubles.

    1. Photo collage. If you are looking for an answer to the question of what to give if you have no money, then this is one of the ideal answers. To make this gift, you will need Photoshop and a medium-sized frame. You can buy the cheapest one for 20-30 rubles, since all the “taste” will be in the picture. We load the image of the person being congratulated into the program and perform some metamorphoses with it. For example, you can “fulfill” a person’s dream (draw him in an expensive car, in the boss’s chair, etc.); send on a trip; exaggerate his style (just so that he doesn’t get offended). In general, it all depends on your imagination. Understanding how Photoshop works is quite simple; there is a lot of information on this issue on the Internet. For example, I painted my first masterpiece in just 5 minutes, and it was a great success. This was a gift for March 8th to my aunt, who dreams of losing weight. Read about what to give to relatives and friends on March 8th in the article at the link. I found an image on the Internet of a slender beauty walking along the beach, and I put my aunt’s head to it. Then I downloaded the file onto a flash drive, went to a photo store and asked to print it. I also bought a frame there. The total price of the gift was about 80 rubles. Later, I often used this method when I wanted to surprise someone.
    2. Music disc. Also a great gift when you have no money. People who are very busy at work often cannot find time to burn a CD for their car. At least, I periodically hear similar complaints from my friends. If you have an empty blank, this gift won't cost you a penny. Record a collection of your favorite songs and give it as a gift. Believe me, you will be very grateful.Once we made such a disc on February 23rd for my friend’s boyfriend. For a long time he dreamed of “getting hold of” old French songs, but he kept postponing this matter until later. We recorded the most popular compositions, and to make the gift seem more original, we made an exclusive cover for the disc in Photoshop - we placed a photo of them together against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower and wrote “With love from France.” The young man was very pleased and was in high spirits for several days. By the way, about what is best to give to men, read the article by Rashid Kirranov “What to give to a man” or watch his video.

      This option is perfect for the older generation. A colleague once complained to me that she couldn’t choose a gift for her grandmother. She accepts household items without enthusiasm, refuses to take money and says that she doesn’t need anything at all. After quite a long brainstorming, I suggested recording old songs for her. There was an MP3 player in the house, and this idea was received with enthusiasm. We selected suitable compositions and made the cover in the style of the USSR. Since the grandmother was from the village, we placed her photograph against the backdrop of collective farmers harvesting their crops. This gift moved the old lady to tears, and she learned to use the newfangled record player with great enthusiasm.

    3. Vacuum cleaner for keyboard. Every computer user will be happy to receive this gadget as a gift. Personally, I gave it for a variety of holidays to people from 15 to over 50 years old, and it was always received with joy. The price of a vacuum cleaner is from 110 rubles.
    4. A laptop fan is another useful device. Since it is shaped like a flower, it is most suitable for ladies. You can even hold it out instead of a bouquet, it turns out very funny. This gift can be purchased at a price of 70 rubles. There may be models with a different design, but I have not seen them. It was the flower fan that my brother liked when he was choosing a gift for a girl for Valentine’s Day, having only 200 rubles in his pocket. He decided to replace the bouquet with it, and bought a box of chocolates for the rest. Read about what you can give him to a girl at the link
    5. Living landscape. A great gift when money is short. Changing pictures will be a great decoration for both your desktop and your home interior. Watching the metamorphoses taking place, you can have a great rest and tune in to a positive mood. I was once given a living landscape on March 8th, and it became one of my favorite gifts. Small pictures can be bought for 250-300 rubles, and I periodically give them to relatives and friends.
    6. Plate. Since giving mugs as gifts is trivial, one day I decided to replace them with plates. I unexpectedly needed to congratulate one girl on March 8th. The holiday budget was already exhausted, besides, the gift was needed immediately, and there was no way to order anything on the Internet. By inertia, I ran into the first dishware store I came across and began to study the assortment of mugs; nothing else came to my mind. But then I saw cute plates with vegetables on them. They cost only 120 rubles, and were also packaged in decent cardboard boxes. It was simply impossible to think of a better gift. Beautiful, unusual and inexpensive. The girl liked the gift, and I still use this option from time to time.
    7. Pineapple. This exotic fruit is perfect for any holiday table. You can buy it in almost any store for 150-200 rubles. Pineapple is the best option for unfamiliar people and emergency situations. He has helped me out more than once when I was short of time and money.
    8. A folding soft bucket is the best solution for practical older family members. Do your parents or grandparents have a dacha or like to go mushroom picking? They will definitely love the collapsible bucket. I advised my mother to give it to a friend who is very passionate about household chores and cannot imagine her life without a dacha. She was delighted with him. The price of a bucket is 300 rubles.
    9. Miracle plant. This cute gift will impress any girl and woman. It is a seed that needs to be planted in the ground and watered. After a few minutes, the plant will grow, and on one of its leaves there will be the inscription “I love you.” My brother gave this gift to his friend on March 8th and she was very pleased. The price of a miracle plant is from 90 rubles.



  1. A paper holder is a great gift for people whose work involves documents. Online stores offer a fairly large selection of these gizmos with different designs at prices starting from 200 rubles. One day, my friend asked me to find a gift for her child's teacher. I ordered a holder in the shape of a man. In the greeting card we wrote the following: “May the little people you teach bring you only joy!”
  2. Emergency charging unit for a mobile phone. This device looks like a battery with a small wire and connector. Every person needs it and it can be given for absolutely any occasion. Internet price – 300 rubles. I once gave it to my husband for his birthday, he was pleased and still uses it to this day.
  3. Audiobooks. Due to lack of time, many of us have already forgotten the last time we read, although we love this activity. Audiobooks that you can listen to in the car or at home while doing household chores will help solve the problem. They will also be a wonderful gift for people with vision problems. Price – from 100 rubles. I gave audiobooks to both my parents and friends who spend a lot of time driving. The most important thing is to know exactly what interests them.
  4. Suitcase lock. This item will definitely appeal to travel lovers. Firstly, it will reduce the likelihood of property theft, and secondly, it will become an excellent distinctive sign, and the suitcase can be immediately noticed during baggage claim at the airport. Its price is 170 rubles. I gave these locks to all my traveling friends for the New Year. About how to celebrate the New Year at home.
  5. Original passport cover. On the Internet you can find a huge number of options at a price of 200-250 rubles. For my brother who loves to tinker with his computer, I bought a Windows-themed My Documents cover; for a friend who periodically travels abroad - “Walking across Three Seas” for a foreign passport.
  6. Tabletop punching bag. This cool toy comes in different sizes. If large models are quite expensive, then small ones can be bought for 250-300 rubles. I have given them several times to colleagues and friends who are into sports or have a short temper. And we bought a large, luxurious copy for our boss’s birthday.

I offer you the following options:


Lack of money is not a reason for despair, but a great opportunity for creativity. After all these experiments, I made a very important conclusion for myself: people expect from us not so much expensive gifts, but rather attentive attitude and bright emotions. If we show that we are listening to their words, or put on a little show, then the price of the gift will not matter. And one more important point: if possible, do not delay choosing gifts until the last minute. Thanks to this, you can purchase the items you like at reasonable prices while they are still in stock.

It is also worth saying a few words about online shopping. Gifts in virtual stores are much cheaper than in regular stores, but we are often afraid that they will send us low-quality items. I solved this problem for myself as follows:

  • Before placing an order, I try to find a similar item in a regular store and evaluate its quality. If it suits me, I make a purchase online.
  • I order gifts only from stores that have been operating for a long time and have a good reputation.
  • I try to choose online stores in my city. If problems arise, I can return the goods to the warehouse, and in most cases delivery is free.

I wish you a pleasant shopping and happy holidays!

Best regards, Irina Donskaya.

New Year is literally on the doorstep, gifts for children have not yet been bought, and salaries have been delayed. And they don’t promise it before January. And money - “butt”. And there is no one to borrow from, because on the eve of the holiday no one has extra funds.

Is this a familiar situation?

We don’t give up and don’t panic – there is always a way out!

First of all, you should remember the most important thing: you can save on yourself, cut the budget for the New Year's menu (it's okay if you drink juice instead of champagne, and there will only be one bowl of Olivier), and bake dessert yourself.

And in general, the most important thing is create an atmosphere of magic for a child. And all she needs is imagination and the attention of her parents.

And yet – what to give your child? After all, without a gift from Santa Claus, a holiday is not a holiday...

Small toy + chocolate

We pack our mini-gifts in a large plastic jar and paint it like, for example, a Ladybug. There are also a couple of tangerines and a handful of sweets bought by weight.

We tie a knitted colorful scarf around the neck.

And don’t forget to put a small card in the jar (you can make it yourself, fortunately, there are a lot of master classes on the Internet), which will say how much you love your child, how smart he has been all year, and that the most important gift is waiting for him January 1st.

Surely the child has a little dream - to go to the zoo, go skiing, make 20 snowmen, etc. Be a fairy for your baby - fulfill his whim on January 1st.

A trip to the “fairy forest”

It is better to choose the most picturesque place for such a trip. Preferably with infrastructure nearby.

While mom is sledding and skating with her child, throwing snowballs and making an “angel” in a snowdrift, dad goes “on business” and quickly prepares a “clearing” in the forest: signs on the trees, scattered cereals, giant traces of the “goblin,” paths of confetti etc. With the help of mom and dad, these traces should naturally lead the child to the gift. And of course - from Santa Claus.

The main thing is, don’t get too deep into the forest, and don’t dare “spoiler” - it’s a surprise for the child! You just went for a walk with the whole family in the forest, and suddenly there are such interesting oddities - footprints in the snow, arrows on the trees... Obviously - New Year's miracles, and nothing else!

And it doesn’t matter what gift the child will receive at the end. The main thing is the feeling of a fairy tale that he will carry through his entire childhood.

Of course, such a surprise will not work with a teenager, but the kids will really like it.

DIY gift

Why not? If your “baby” has already grown out of rompers for 13-15 years, then he understands perfectly well that his mother has no money and cannot jump out of the skin. Therefore, remember all your talents and start making hand-made gifts.

You can knit a sweater or hat with mittens and a scarf. You can sew a bedspread from multi-colored scraps or a fashionable skirt (for your daughter), weave pleasant trinkets from beads, and make fashionable jewelry.

Or you can draw a picture or even write a song. If only from the heart.

Photo album

A wonderful gift option for a teenage child (or almost a teenager), which does not even require accompanying bags with all sorts of goodies.

Although chocolate and tangerines will never be superfluous.

So, we take children's and family photos, take out a basket for needlework, pull out drawers with a variety of stationery and forward - to the best of our imagination, to the best of our abilities.

You can make the basis for the album yourself or use an existing one. For example, an old and outdated photo album, or an ordinary children's book with pages made of thick cardboard.

Remember: your album doesn't have to hold a whole bunch of photos. It can only fit 8-10 of the most important photographs, the main thing is that the design is original and from the heart.

By the way, the design of such albums is usually much more interesting than the photographs themselves. There are, again, plenty of master classes on the Internet. And this child will keep this gift all his life.

Sweet set for fortune telling

  • With our own golden hands we make a gift box (we are looking for master classes or photos on the Internet!), and we beautifully place delicious chocolates in it on top of the Christmas tree tinsel. Just not the usual ones, but with a surprise: each candy should contain “predictions” under the candy wrapper. Naturally, kind and bright, not too blurry and foggy (a little more precision). This box can be given to an older child.
  • We put other candies in the second box, but not with predictions, but with tasks. A sort of sweet “forfeits” for kids. We choose the most fun and funny tasks. This box is for the youngest child.

DIY Christmas balls

We take the simplest foam plastic balls in the store and paint them based on our son’s favorite cartoons (movies, hobbies, etc.).

Age does not matter: these can be balloons with SpongeBob for the baby, or balloons with funny pictures that the eldest son collects on his page on the Social Network.

And for your teenage daughter you can make absolutely masterpiece balls, a real work of art! Knitted and patchwork balls, soft balls sprinkled with beads or buttons, transparent balls made of thread (they are made using glue on a balloon), balls with decoupage or felt flowers, with embroidery, applique, or even felted wool and in the form of funny animals.

Small but a lot

For a child of any age, a huge bag of gifts is a joy. Even if there are ordinary little things that cost a penny, the effect of the big bag will be strong and will smooth out possible sadness from the lack of another console or interactive hamster.

The key point is packaging. Each of your small gifts (chocolate, a beautiful pen, a new notebook, an original keychain, etc.) should be packaged beautifully and originally. So that the child can stretch out the pleasure by unpacking surprises one after another.

The older the child, the easier it is for him to “collect” such a bag (hair bands, coasters, pencil cases, favorite books, sketch books, etc.).

And be sure to mix the gifts with the sweets and tangerines scattered in the bag.

When your child grows up, he will not remember what exactly was packed in those beautiful wrappers, but he will definitely remember the smell of this bag of gifts and his joy from it.

Mom and dad as a gift

Give your child a day “just for him.” Take them for a walk, build a snowman together, eat ice cream in a cafe, go ice skating, look at the city square - there are probably pre-holiday festivities with entertainment for children. In general, find places where you can entertain your child with a minimum of money, and draw up an itinerary - let the child be breathtaking with the amount of entertainment and your attention.

By the way, this walk around the city can also be turned into a treasure hunt. But then draw a treasure map in advance (with places for entertainment), naturally thrown by Santa Claus into the mailbox, and hide a gift in the right place (even a bag of candies).

Magic tree

Your baby will definitely love this gift. The tree can be a real strong plant - or a hand-made masterpiece from mom (it doesn't matter).

The magic of a tree is that every morning something unusual grows on it. Today, lollipops have grown, and tomorrow a sandwich with caviar or an apple may grow (the tree is capricious, and decides on its own what fruits to produce).

It is worth noting that older children also love such gifts as a reason to smile once again in the morning.

Meeting with the real Santa Claus

Agree with a friend who can convincingly play the role of the Old Wizard with a Red Nose, rent a suit for Grandfather from someone, prepare a gift using one of the methods described above. All.

Should come as a surprise. A great option is if you quietly let your friend into the apartment and hide your friend on the balcony (for example, while the child is changing clothes for the festive table), and after 5-10 minutes (so that the friend does not freeze) he will “magically” ring the bell outside the window.

Just let Santa Claus tell the baby that he has sent his tired reindeer home, otherwise your friend will have to leave the child through the balcony.


Spray can with artificial snow

With magical snow, of course!

With this spray can you can create stunning patterns on glass. So that Santa Claus, when he flies by from January 5th to 9th (when mom is finally given her salary, bonus or debt), sees this stunning beauty and leaves a gift on the balcony.

Set of dishes

For example, a mug and a couple of plates (deep and dessert).

We draw a sketch ourselves in accordance with the child’s hobbies (no age restrictions), add an original inscription (quote, wish, etc.), scan our creativity and send it to one of the companies where clients’ sketches are printed on dishes.

If you have very little money, you can limit yourself to a mug (it will cost you 200-300 rubles with printing). The child will be happy to receive a gift that is made especially for him.

The main thing is not to make a mistake with the choice of design.

pet

If your child has been dreaming of such a friend for a long time, it’s time to make his dream come true. Many people give puppies, kittens, mice, etc. into good hands. The child will be happy.

If the topic of animals in the house is a categorical taboo, buy your baby a fish. For example, fighting. This cockerel is unpretentious and does not require serious care - an ordinary jar of water is enough. And it’s inexpensive - about 200 rubles.

“May your life be sweet!”

We make such an inscription on a gift box, which we fill with all possible sweets - a jar of jam (don’t forget to decorate!), sweets, tangerines, cockerels on sticks, homemade cookies in the shape of Christmas trees/snowmen, etc.

And you don’t have to buy all this (except for tangerines, of course) - if you have an oven, then you can prepare all the sweets yourself, including Raffaello, Petushkov, etc.

Tickets for the Christmas tree

Their cost is usually not too high, and finding funds for such a gift is not so difficult.

True, a toddler and a teenager will not appreciate such a gift. Age category (on average) – from 5 to 9 years.

Tickets, of course, need to be packaged in an original way and be sure to add sweets to the gift.

"Not enough money" - This is not a tragedy and not a reason to give up! This is an opportunity to discover the talents of a creative person.

Experiment, use your imagination and, most importantly, create gifts with love. After all, it is your attention (and not the cost of the gift) that is valuable to the child.

And, of course, don’t put everything off until December 30th– start thinking about gifts in advance.

Let's start thinking about this matter with the banal but rational thought that a gift is, first of all, a manifestation of attention. This means that even an inexpensive item, if it is chosen taking into account the hobbies and tastes of the person for whom it is intended, can create a festive mood and be remembered for many years.

Buying the cheapest gift

If you have very little money, but you have it, you can buy nice souvenirs like Christmas tree decorations, New Year’s decorations, and souvenirs depicting the symbol of the coming year. Bath sets, cups and other small items, sweets in elegant packaging are suitable.

Helpful advice: If you have constant problems with money before the New Year, do not throw away gift bags or elegant ribbons from the gifts you received. You shouldn’t set up a large warehouse of this kind of packaging at home, but save the best copies to make your inexpensive gift more impressive next year.

We are looking for a gift in our property

If you have absolutely no money for this kind of purchase, think about it, maybe you already have things that can serve as successful gifts. Books and unusual souvenirs will be most appropriate, but new clothes, shoes, and accessories will also be very appropriate. New or vintage dishes and serving items will also work well as gifts.

When choosing a gift from among your own items, be extremely critical so that it does not look like you are getting rid of useless or used items. The gift must necessarily meet the needs and tastes of the future owner!

Making a gift with your own hands

Depending on your skills and abilities, you can give a variety of things as a gift that can truly please the recipient. Warm mittens and scarves, hats and shawls, carved boxes and photo frames, unique handmade purses and wallets can make a greater impression than banal items produced in a large series.

Let someone lazy say that attention is more important than a gift, but on New Year’s Eve everyone is looking forward to the surprise under the Christmas tree. And it doesn’t matter that your husband is a respectable business man, your friend runs her own company, and your mother’s life experience is enough for three more - for a second we all turn into happy children, receiving a New Year’s gift. Therefore, try to please your loved ones with something unusual.
