Have you ever seen one of your children wrestle over the decision of what to buy for a friend’s birthday* They want to buy a gift they think is appropriate, sometimes no matter how much it costs. The best situation, of course, is when they budget ahead of time for a special gift. Many times, however, they need to borrow on their allowance for many months in advance so they can buy “just the right” gift. Next time this happens, you might want to refer to the following list of gifts that can be purchased for under $15. Kits / art works. A magazine subscription for 6 months or one year. Extremely beautiful pen or set of pens. Disposable camera. Baked food (preferably their favorite dish homemade by you).

Small gift vouchers homemade by you, promising that you will do anything that is asked in the next 12 hours/ 24 hours/ 36 hours, etc. In this way you can have a lot of fun, too. A huge greeting card where you can declare your love in Giant Steps A pet such as a gold fish in a bowl or (if the $15 is a down payment) an exotic parrot which can talk or a cat that the other person has always wanted. (Before buying anything in this category, please ask if you can cancel the purchase within the next two days.) There are indeed many inexpensive items that could make a good gift. Perhaps you believe there are a few occasions when expense counts.
