Here are some low-cost, last-minute gift ideas

Here are some low-cost, last-minute gift ideas

If you're still scrambling to buy gifts and your budget’s a bit tight, don’t worry — there are plenty of thoughtful options that won’t cost a lot. First, check if any memberships you already have, like a gym or spa membership, offer guest passes. You’ve already paid for them, so you might be able to share them with friends or family. If you're unsure, just call your local spot and ask. Another idea is to make a handmade gift. It doesn’t have to be time-consuming or expensive — something like a photo collage of fun memories or a playlist of songs that remind you of that person can be really meaningful. Lastly, consider giving the gift of your time with an act of service. Offer to walk a friend’s dog, babysit your sister’s kids, or clean your dad’s house. Just because a gift doesn’t cost you a lot, or it’s last-minute, doesn’t mean it can’t be thoughtful.
