Unique Gift Ideas For Under $50
If you have a tight budget, this list should give you some great ideas how to make your money go further.
Great gifts don't have to be expensive. It is more about the gesture and thoughtfulness.
So here is the deal. When you think of a present and suggestions bellow think about what story will you tell him/her about it. Not how or where he/she will use it, and not about how much it costs. Just whether the story would be interesting to him/her or not.
There are just so many of the artisans out there. Hence I tend to go for more unusual looking gifts within the certain category. So this time, when considering the budget, I went with wallets, notebooks (always been a hit with women), key wallets, pens and bathroom accessories.
