Genius Xmas Gifts For Every Budget

cheap xmas gift ideas

Christmas is an expensive time of year and if you’ve a large list of people to buy gifts for, it can seem like a challenge. A tight budget doesn’t mean that the gifts need to be bought from the bargain basement of your local store, nor does everyone have to get a mug full of candy. If you can personalise the presents to the recipients, the fact that they are cheap Xmas gifts becomes irrelevant. Here are some creative Christmas gift ideas that won’t break the bank.

LifeStraw Personal Water Filter

A Time Magazine Invention of the Year winner, this ultimate survival tool is one of our creative Christmas gift ideas for those who liking hiking, camping and travel as well as those keen on emergency preparedness. The gadget contains no chemicals, no batteries and no moving parts to wear out and is built to take water from streams, lakes, ponds and other contaminated sources. As a bonus, for each LifeStraw purchased, one child in a developing community receives safe drinking water for an entire school year

Monopoly – Game of Thrones

If you are looking for cheap Xmas gifts for a family, instead of individual presents to each member, consider a game the entire family can enjoy. As it’s Christmas, help them start a new Christmas tradition with the board game Monopoly, but not the standard game, but the special edition where Game of Thrones meets Monopoly. The board game has artwork from the hit television series and crafted playing pieces that include a dragon egg, a three-eyed raven, a white walker, a direwolf, a crown and the Iron Throne. Instead of hotels and houses there are villages and keeps to manage as you race for control of Westeros.

Publishers release hundreds of new books onto the market in the race to become the Christmas number one. You don’t have to know too much about your friends and relatives to be able to find a book they will like. As usual, memoirs feature prominently, with books by actor David Jason and Virgin tycoon Richard Branson. Niall Ferguson’s The Square and the Tower, takes a look at social networks of the past; and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s We Were Eight Years in Power takes on the Obama era. There are new novels from famous names too, including Philip Pullman’s long-awaited La Belle Sauvage and Dan Brown’s just released new novel Origin.
