A great gift for graduates that are going to college or getting their own place is commonly needed medicines. Things like generic Tylenol, Immodium, Benadryl, cold medicine, antibiotic ointment, bandaids etc. You can put it all in a Dollar Tree tool box and send it off with them. These are things you always need when it's not convenient to buy them š.

I will admit it...I usually don't wait for an occasion. I give gifts to my family all the time. If I see something they might like.. I send it out. Giving gifts makes me happy as well. Do unto others as you would do unto you. Giving gifts is part of my love lanuage. You both found great gifts. Cheers!

I make(sew) hanging dishtowels you can attach to your oven door handle to dry hands on. My friend even had me make one for her brother's kitchen. I love giving this as a hostess gift. Sometimes I give two so while is being washed a clean one is ready. I also make journals I like to give. Walmart is a great place to get inexpensive gifts that are sold elsewhere for double the price! Loved the inspiration!

I found a package of two notebooks at the dollar store for $1.50. I used gorgeous scrapbooking paper to cover them to make a sweet gift set. One set I gave to a friend when we met for coffee. Another set I have ready to give a relative who is going in for day surgery. So pretty and a joy to receive. I like your idea of the travel bags.

Hi Emmy and Paul. What a lot of research you did for this video! Lots of great, generous ideas! Let me offer a different perspective. I am someone who is on a declutter/minimalist journey. I used to spend a lot of time choosing just the right gifts for people. Now, I tend to give consumables and/or gifts of time or talent, or donations to organizations the recipient is passionate about, or sometimes sharing an experience. For hostess gifts, I tend to make something to eat, or give a plant or flowers. The things I struggle to let go of are all the little gifts that people spent their hard-earned money on that I've never used or are not my style. I am working on remembering the intention, thanking them again, and passing these items on to someone who can use them and appreciate them.

One thing I really enjoy giving is a kitchen towel, as in a decorative but functional one you would hang on the handle of your oven or dishwasher door to use while working in the kitchen, I make sure they are of the more heavy duty materialā¦and I always buy them on a good sale, keep a few stocked up at home so I can always have a nice little gift ready when needed. A package of note cards are nice to give, also.

Thank you for another wonderful video! I was excited to see the travel toiletries bags are available in Canadian Walmarts, so that will come in handy. We take a lot of weekend getaways in the summer and travel light. For gift giving, I try to keep it simple by baking or cooking (if I am bringing a hostess gift it will be a bottle of wine or I will ask how I can contribute with food). I like giving flowers, gift cards, something sentimental with pictures or crafts. Each year I give my family a burned DVD of all the photos including them in the year so they can have it all in one place and store them on their computers how they want to, but it's all organized, and they appreciate that gift.

Having kept a "gift closet" for years, I always comb seasonal clearance racks for deeply discounted items to continually stock inventory. Also, in retirement, I have the time to bake gifts, like cookies, cakes, bars, savory and sweet breads., During pandemic lockdown, I learned how to make some easy but delicious candies. Everybody welcomes homemade food items! Blessings to all! Mrs. D. - H.V.

That was a fun video and very encouraging.
Thank you. I have a notebook that I use to plan my gifts throughout the year. In those dark cold days of January, I begin to knit gifts like childrenās jumpers(sweaters), hats, cafetiĆØre cosies, tea cosies, gloves, and toys. I do knit the colours and good quality yarns that recipients will love, but I save money by using every scrap of that yarn. I might make several of the same item, then use the scraps for decorations and mug hugs. I have lots of time because of beginning so early in the year so there is no rush.
Again, with fabrics I will buy a little fabric and make zipped purses and pencil cases and try to use up every scrap creatively as I can, then raid the sewing box to embellish them with ribbons, buttons, etc that I have saved from packages or thrifted from somewhere.
My husband and I made an Advent calendar for the grandchildren last year. For my son and daughter-in-law this year, (their birthdays are on the same date) we are driving down to sand and varnish their garden bench for them as a joint birthday gift. I also love to bake gifts. My little hobby is entering some giveaways and competitions through the year (just for fun) I never pay to enter, and here in the UK we do not have to pay tax on prizes. The prizes I win are put away for gifts and I always win some lovely things for family and friends.
My tip is to get a notebook. Plan your gifts and start early. You will be blown away by how much money you will save. More importantly, your family etc will feel special because you have taken care and thought over their gift instead of panic buying something at the last minute

This might not be a popular comment, but I really appreciate gifts that are consumable. I almost feel burdened by receiving a "thing" that I have to find a home for or that will wind up immediately in the donation box. The last thing I need is another coffee mug or somethingāeven if the gifter picked it up for $1. A loaf of homemade bread, a box of nice tea, a nice jar of jam, etc. would be far more appreciated than another "thing." Personally, I would prefer the gifter save the money they might spend on a thing for me. I try to gift the same kinds of consumable items I would appreciate getting.
