Gifts represent your feelings for another person, feelings which you may not be able to express through words. The right gifts clearly communicate the affection and care you have for the other person. Indeed, your pure innermost feelings can’t be valued in the context of the money. Despite a tight and limited budget, you can very easily convey your true feelings to your loved ones. For this, you have to think from your heart, not from your pocket. Just follow some gift buying tips so that you can buy a meaningful gift for your every loved one in your small budget of Rs. 100.

Some might consider this gift buying tip as a hoarders gateway, but to make your loved ones happy with good gifts takes work, so if you need to be a hoarder, be one! So, whenever you see a signboard announcing massive discounts, then don’t miss your chance and buy all the good gift items that you can find. If currently you don’t require the particular gift item, but it is available for an insanely low price then don’t miss out on such an opportunity and immediately buy a few extra gift items. Because you never know when extra gift items come in handy. Technically it is hoarding, but from the point of view of a person with a limited budget, it is an opportunity that can’t be missed.

Well, rather than the actual gift, the whole process of receiving a gift - trying to guess what’s inside, and then finally ripping away the gift wrapper - is what makes the experience so much fun. So, make this whole process even more exciting and thrilling for your gift receiver. For example, you can pack your gift in different ways, you can use your creative skills to make the gift wrap exciting, or you can map out the gift finding hunt or you can put gift where the person could least expect like under the bed or in the socks drawer. So put on your creativity cap and find ways to make the whole gift-giving process a big event that will make it unforgettable.

To buy gifts for your all family and friends, you have to plan in advance. Every month keep a small amount aside from your monthly pocket money, salary or monthly household budget for buying gifts. This way you can draw little money out of your gifts buying fund whenever you have to buy a gift for your dear ones. Especially, if you know any important birthday, anniversary or festival is coming ahead, then you should definitely set the gift fund aside. But, the real gift buying tip here would be buying gifts in your limited fund only. Don’t get overboard and spend more money on gifts than you planned. Stay strong and stay within your budget! Because as we have already mentioned, no amount of money can help you in expressing your real feelings.

A common recommendation for buying gifts is that you plan your gift list in advance. Well, this helps in keeping the budget tight and gives you time to readjust the gifts selection. For this you can make the list of all the important birthdays, anniversaries and festival gifts that you have to buy. Then during the seasonal sales you can take some money out of your gifts fund and buy gifts from your list from the sales. This way you can shop for more expensive gifts that fit your limited budget. Normally, during the festival season like Diwali, Christmas, Rakhi, etc heavy discounts are offered by the numerous shops and brands. That’s your right opportunity to tick some gift items from your list in advance.
