Whether you have pennies or pounds; no matter how little you have to spend on gifts, you can always give something unique to everyone on your list you just need to put in a bit of effort and creativity. Here are just a few ideas that will help you not only put together a unique gift and something special for everyone on your list that will also save you some money!
You can give pictures, make your own gifts, or even spend an extra bit of time in the kitchen to come up with something special for everyone.
Family Pictures
One creative and memorable gift that can be given at Christmas is a family picture. When the kids were small and I think their first Christmas we went and got some professional photographs done in a photography studio.
If you do decide to take your own family pictures, be sure to learn how to use the delay setting on your camera. This will enable everyone to get into the picture. Think about different options such as black and white, different angles and your background & get creative!
Once you have taken the pictures, you can either choose an online developer, or you can purchase photo paper and print the pictures yourself if you have a color printer. ÷

Homemade Gifts
If you have a crafty side, why not consider making homemade gifts for those on your list. Even if you are only just learning, you can still pick up that cross
Sewing projects such as a new purse, apron or kite, decorative pieces such as silk flower bouquets, or art work done by your children. For those in your house, consider creating coupons for things like a special homemade dinner for your wife or mum.
Baked Gifts
If you are creative in the kitchen and enjoy baking, why not put together several unique gifts. Consider baking some cookies, gingerbread or just some sugar biscuits and wrapping them nicely along with a bow.
The kids could even decorate with icing.. older generations love that kind of gift! Why not consider creating a gift basket with some tinned food for grandparents of food that they love but don’t usually buy themselves. You could even wash out an old jam jar and fill with a spiced tea mix. Make or buy some lovely bread, cheese or crackers that people may enjoy
Taking a little time out to think about your different talents can really help you come up with some fabulous creative gift ideas that will truly thrill and surprise everyone on your list!
