Ah, that crisp air that symbolizes the season of gifting is already here. And if you have quite a few people to buy gifts for, it is inevitable that this season will get expensive. For those of you who are on a tight budget and want to cut down on your Holiday gifts expenses, then read on! Today’s feature is all about sharing tips and ideas on what to buy as well as where to get inexpensive items that would make a great gift for this holiday season.

Where to shop

One of the commonly overlooked gift ideas during the Holiday season are DIY or personalized gift items. While a few items require some time and skills to pull off, there are few that can be achieved effortlessly. Although, most DIY gifts require a little bit of planning and preparation to make it work.

If you’re quite undecided, there’s a handful of DIY tips and tricks online that you can use as a guide. Most of them are free and are pretty easy to follow. As for me, I prefer getting my DIY goods and the materials to be used from our Dollar General store. I highly recommend shopping products from their store because of the convenience and most of all – their price is very low yet the quality is amazingly remarkable. They even have a great variety of deals that are perfect as Holiday season gifts. Dollar General has a variety of stuff and items that anyone can easily use to create the perfect DIY gift.

If crafting and preparing one isn’t for you. Dollar General has ready-made ones that you can instantly wrap as a gift. Can you imagine the amount of cash you’ll be saving by shopping at this store? Just remember, you can find these products and more at your local Dollar General.

What I’ve bought

Just recently, I bought some items at Dollar General that I will be wrapping up. I picked up a few notebooks, planners, cute pens, pencils and other basic office/school supplies. The prices of these items are 50% cheaper than other office supply stores that you’ll find around.

The idea here is to create some sort of gift basket or box that contains items that can help someone organize and keep up with their 2017 schedules and plans. They can also be considered as back to school supplies that are perfect for all ages. I am pretty confident that the recipient of these gift items will love each and every item and will find it very useful. You can also check out their décor on their website.

I also bought some wrapping paper at Dollar General. They offer quality paper for a very affordable price, and the rolls are big too! Enough to cover at least 3 or 4 gift boxes. If wrapping gifts is quite daunting for you, then you can pick up their gift bags for just $1 each.

There are also affordable toys that can be used as stocking stuffers, party favors or gift for little kids. High-quality greeting cards are offered as well for just $1 each. Dollar General is like a one stop gift shop for people who want to save money without sacrificing the quality of their Holiday gift.

It’s quite an understatement to say that Dollar General almost has it all because, in my honest opinion, they really HAVE IT ALL. They have such an amazing inventory and selection of items that are perfect (as a gift) for the Holidays and even across the season.
