Here are some affordable presents you can share with your loved ones:

• A kitchen tool: It takes some time to stock your first kitchen, especially with equipment that’s going to last. For that friend who needs basics, think of a can opener, potato peeler, or corkscrew. If you want to get fancier, you could go for a garlic press, a potato masher, or a pastry cutter. Write out a recipe in which they can use the appliance you gifted them for a personal touch.
• Small gardening tools can be a great gift for new homeowners suddenly faced with caring and tending to their garden.
• A journal or notebook can be a perfect present to a friend or a family member as they head into a new year that will have memories worthy of jotting down.
• Mugs are some of the home essentials that can be used every day and can bring good memories of a Christmas day on which friends or family members met and had a good day.
• A homemade recipe book filled with recipes that you love. This can be a great way to save money and avoid eating out while also sharing some beloved family recipes.
• A tray of six seedlings for someone who loves to garden.
