One of the things I love about the holiday season is giving gifts.  I enjoy choosing a gift for someone and finding something that they will love.  As a frugal person, I feel it’s important not to waste my money – and I don’t want to blow money on something the gift receiver won’t like or won’t use.

People often give tangible gifts, like knickknacks, that are cute but impractical – items that will likely end up in a yard sale the following year.

I prefer to give gifts that:

  • Are practical
  • Will actually be used
  • Will not create extra clutter in someone’s home
  • Provide experiences/memories that the gift receiver will enjoy
