The Christmas rush is on, and everyone is pursuing that perfect gift! Cyber deals and store hours are extended to meet the needs of happy shoppers. But maybe all this rush to get and give makes you a little more stressed out than feeling that good ‘ole holiday cheer.
If your budget is tight or you’re unsure what to buy that picky teenager or classroom teacher, let’s find some options that may fit the bill, all while putting a smile on everyone’s face. Below you will find gifts for everyone on your list – all for under $10 each!
The best part is you can find all of these on Amazon, so if you cannot get into the stores or don’t feel up to braving the crowds, look into some of the items below and get them shipped right to your door. Or if you already find yourself at the store, staring at a bunch of different options, and not sure what to get, check back on this handy little list. Either way, realize you will be able to find the perfect gift for the right person for just the right price – now that’s priceless!
Just keep in mind that it isn’t so much about the gift, as it is the purpose of giving. God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:6-8). So, as you shop, try to do so with glee in your heart and a willingness to meet the need of the person you are buying for.
Also, if you can support your local and small businesses, do so. You will most likely find that the crowds are smaller, and purchasing from these family-owned retailers bring more joy to them than you may ever know. Many of these businesses are run with a mission or used as a ministry, so getting to know your community and how you can support their efforts is fun.
