10 Items Below $10 / Cheap Minimalist 🎄 Reward Concepts

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here, so Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. We used to give coupons to our kids, and they would give some to their grandparents, for spending time together, like read with me, go for a walk, extra back rub at bedtime etc. My kids are now adults, so now I give them money, and some little items, like a gift card to Lush, a hand knitted hat or socks, some favorite candy, a candle etc. If you have many adult siblings I suggest either skipping gifts, or drawing names with a set limit. Being together is more important than stuff. We bought gifts for our nieces and nephews until they were 16 and did not exchange with the adults.

Just found your channel, I love it! You are so sweet, and this list is AMAZING! It is honestly the best one I've ever seen on budget gifts, and I've seen so many. I think we are very similar in the way we think about gifts. I also love giving gifts but there are so many people in our family that my budget is usually between 5 and 10 dollars per person, but I've done some really creative things to make the money go far. I have given many things on your list, but some were new to me! It's a great reminder that budget really doesnt matter, it is the thought that counts.

Hi Sarah, how much do you usually get your kids for Christmas, as a minimalist? will you do an episode on this? 🙂

Crazy about your Christmas shirt! So unique 😁👌

Coffee …. blech!

I would love a portable phone charger. Gift bag of special healthy nuts, candy cane, orange and apple.

I've given my girl's daycare educators coffee gift cards and they all loved them 😊

I’m making a little greeting cards and stamps l basket this year for my auntie. It helps her stay in touch with people especially with the cost of stamps so high in the US. I love your ideas and appreciate all the encouragement in each video!

Thank you for the ideas!
I’m using your Netflix idea from another video hehe

Some other ideas are:
– Seeds or small potted plants (herbs). I love receiving basil and coriander because then I don’t have to buy it.
– Car detailing, not under $10 but if this was a gift I received I’d be so excited!
– Entry to a play cafe! (One less child to pay for helps a family have a cheap day out!)
– live shows at local theatres (comedy etc.)
– I am not a huge fan of magazines but I get my Nanna women’s day Xmas edition ever year and she loves it. She gets recipe ideas for the following year.
– Scratchies or lottery ticket, there are $1 games and it’s fun to get a chance to win something!
Hope these give some people some ideas!

My brother who passed away and I miss he loved when I'd make him homemade hot sauce

Great tips , have a great weekend

Cute paw patrol mix

Good thing about gift cards is no shipping fees, mail in a card

We made most gifts with supplies we get on sale. Home canned jams and jellies, earrings ,bracelette, cookies, fudge , I'm cross stitching flowers on pillow cases, crochet towels , and toys off clearance rack for younger relatives, I make crochet scarfs blankets,

Love your ideas!

Great tips Sarah!!! I like books, not so minimalist except I would say that it’s ok to read and pass on. I also like gifting pretty soaps and my latest fave is loose leave tea with a pretty (small, stainless steel from Amazon AU) tea leaf diffuser. Coles has stainless steel straws now🙌🏼 Some people have a tattoo fund you could contribute to. Make some grocery bags to replace fruit and veggie plastic bags or make beeswax wraps. Make chocolate rum balls or energy balls. Love the cake mix and labels ideas!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I think the key is to give something needed. I know that maybe destoys the surprise element, but as a minimalist I prefer been asked , rather than been given something I don't want in my life and I'll feel guilthy to give away. I do the same, I listen and remember what my People need or just ask…

Such great ideas!! Thanks so much for this! I am rethinking my Christmas lists!! I use those metal straws and just love them! Never would have thought about that for gifts! Such a cool idea!! I am a professional photographer so too bad we live so far apart, I would LOVE to take pics of your family 😉 Really enjoyed this video, I am making my lists as I watched!

Love your gnome! So cute.

You always amaze me with all your great ideas!! Love the offer of services. Everyone can do with a helping hand once in a while ❤

How many brothers and sisters do you have?

Where do you find the clearskin wines

Some great ideas, thankyou so much. Never thought of a coffee voucher. I'm a coffee lover but don't tend to treat myself so I would even love that gift

I like to give and receive journals, books, or notecards. I also saw a 4 pack of reusable bamboo utensils with straws in cloth travel bags for $15! Great ideas Sarah!

Cute shirt!

Great ideas! I gave a service gift of gardening to an older lady last Christmas and she loved it. I give lollies in some form as gifts to the family most years. I like to bulk buy little reusable jars at a dollar shop and then do a big lolly haul from Woolworths. The quality is good and the prices are discounted around Christmas. This way I get to customise the contents for each person. Whack on a ribbon, job done 😃 Last year I also tried ‘Rudolph’s Spares’ for the first time. It was a hit! The basic idea is individual resealable bags of Jaffas, labelled with a cute bag topper. You can download the topper free and print it at home. The kids loved them at our Christmas lunch.

Great ideas!!

Movie tickets – my parents are gifting each of our children one with a small can of softdrink, a bag of popcorn and a small bag of lollies each for Christmas. My mum loved the idea and it helps us because we always take the kids to the movies at this time of the year. Four less tickets we have to buy now too.
😂😂 I thought I was the only one who gifted chewing gum to my teenagers.

Love it 🥳🎄🎄🙂

Thank you Sarah, great ideas! I love the coffee shop gift card idea 😊
