JuicyTalk
It’s important to remember one thing – affordable gifts don’t have to mean “cheap” gifts. Just because something fits your holiday shopping budget doesn’t mean it can’t be thoughtful, clever, useful or just plain fun. It’s all about finding unique and sometimes unexpected items.
While planning ahead is always a good idea, it’s still possible to manage a budget stretched thin by inflation and rising everyday costs. No matter what your friends, family, or coworkers are into, we’ve discovered gifts that are sure to bring a smile to their faces.
From family game night starters to kid-friendly fun to handy desk help, here are some affordable gift ideas that don’t top $100, but also don’t skimp on the holiday cheer.
