Don’t discount your own ability to make a DIY gift. If you are crafty or can work with a friend to create something, go for it! You may end up a few dollars below or above $20 on a gift. Just be sure to balance one purchase out with another or know where the overages can be pulled from in the budget.

Make sure to create your own holiday shopping checklist. Write down everyone who needs a present, your ideas for them and the budget. From there you can research the costs of the gifts you want. You may need to change gift ideas if it’s too pricey or if you need to find it used somewhere. Thrift shops, eBay and Craigslist are a few examples of places you can find gifts for a reduced price.
