Are you on a tight budget, but you need to get a gift for someone? Don’t worry, because we’ve all been there. It’s easy to put together one of those great do-it-yourself projects you’ve probably seen online or been told about by a friend, but those can take a lot of time and skills that you may not have. After all, look at how many of those Pinterest fail pictures are out there on the Internet. Below, I’m going to list out some gifts that you can purchase for under $10 and you won’t have to worry about any sort of assembly.
#1. A Magazine Subscription
Let’s face it, digital media has practically taken over, so you can find some great magazine subscription deals. Most popular magazines out there have actually cut their subscription fees in half from what they used to be. I know you can get subscriptions to certain popular magazines for as little as $7/month. Therefore, getting someone a subscription to a magazine they’ll enjoy could be a great gift idea.
#2. A Netflix Subscription
A subscription to Netflix’s streaming service is only $7.99 and in return you gain access to thousands of movies. This is much cheaper than going out and purchasing films on DVD or going to see movies in theaters. Consider giving someone a month-long subscription to Netflix for a gift.
#3. A Hulu Subscription
Hulu is less than $10 per month and will give you access to a ton of movies and television shows. If the person you’re getting the gift for loves watching tv, you may want to get them a Hulu membership.
#4. Alcohol
It’s hard to go wrong with alcohol. Consider getting the person a nice bottle of wine or maybe even get them a few of those sampler bottles, so they can try different types of liquor. It’s completely up to you, but I’m sure they’ll have an amazing time.
#5. Candy
Everyone out there loves candy. Consider going to one of those candy stores in the mall and getting an assortment of candy. If that doesn’t sound good, you could always stop by the super market and get a whole box of candy for under $10. Trust me, you can’t go wrong with chocolates.
#6. Pandora Membership
Pandora is an app that a lot of people use on their smartphones that enables them to listen to playlists. For a minimal fee, you can purchase a Pandora subscription and the user can enjoy ad-free playback. Therefore, you may want to consider getting someone a month of ad-free Pandora.
#7. A Smartphone App
There are plenty of apps I see in the app store all the time that I’d like to have, but I don’t want to spend the minimal amount of money to purchase them. Consider buying someone a smartphone app for their phone.
#8. A Plant
I’ve purchased plants for friends before that they can hang above their porch. Typically, you can find a beautiful plant for under $10 and it will be something that they can show off.
