We all know that when it comes to that time over year, we get anxious.

We ponder on what to purchase for our family members and friends, but sometime we just have a huge limitation in our pocket.

So what can you do? Get creative. Instead of trying to buy something that will only please the person but not completely satisfy them, get something simple, something that represents that person.

A gift will be a greater hit if it has a meaning towards the person receiving it, at that point in wont matter how much you spent. In order to do this you have to deeply consider that person and discover what they like and what type of person they are.

Here are ten tips to great tips that wont cost you an arm and a leg...

First off, don't get crazy! Simple gifts are very acceptable, don't think you have to spend a lot to get a smile at your gift.

1. Booklet of your favorite memories related to a friend or loved one. This gift will most likely hit home because not only is it a great gift but it's personal as well. This will be far More meaningful then just something nice from the store.

2. Special activities with a significant other: a candlelit dinner, massage, or outdoor activity.This is a very affordable and beautiful gift for couples. Its special and it's pretty much a gift for you both and it can spice up your holidays.

3. For children, a box of dress up clothes would be awesome. We all know children love to pretend and use their imaginations, so why not help out by getting together cool accessories and clothing and put it in a box for them to enjoy. The clothes don't have to be new either, mom can put some old dresses and hats in and maybe some old jewelry. Dad can put in hats as well and can go to a local dollar store and buy wands, Shields, swards, crowns, all the little plastic tools kids love to use to act out their imaginations.

4. A Spa kit for at home relaxation. A grand slam for women. If a someone needs to get out of the dog house this holiday season, pampering their loved on is always a great technique. It could of course just be a thoughtful gift for hardworking women or men who simply just need time to relax at home and get that special treatment they deserve.

5. One of the best times of Christmas is decoration the tree. So getting a personalized ornament is a winner. Put a beautiful message or love line on it and have many vibrant colors that really comes out when they put it on that tree smiling ear to ear. This is a great gift for those who really love the spirit
