With the gift giving holidays just around the corner, I know what many of you are thinking...

What the hell am I going to get my family and friends?

If you, like me, are on a shoestring budget, then boy is the list for you. So sit back and relax as I give you five cheap(ish) and easy gift ideas for the holidays.

1. Gift Cards

Ah, the lazy persons gift. Yes, this may result in you losing at the very least $25, but it's worth it to know you actually gave someone something they actually want. Take the guessing out of gifts, and give them a gift card. People may say you took the easy way out...okay? Is that really a bad thing?

2. Funko Anything

The word "Fun" isn't in Funko for nothing! To me, this is the perfect gift to give anyone, because everyone has a favorite movie, a favorite comic, a favorite television show. They usually go for $10-$12 or you could always give a keychain which goes for $6 or less! This can be a cheap option if you are smart, so go on and buy a Pop! Warning: You may lose money on buying some for yourself as well...

3. Books

(I chose this gif because it's adorable, deal with it)

Books can be cheap, if you don't by something gold plated or ridiculous, so spread the power of knowledge and teach people about the mystical being that is paper with words on it...I know many may not remember this archaic form of reading since we have phones now, but lets not let this form of knowledge die, please?

4. Buy Them Dinner

This may be expensive...so be weary when offering this....but hey, McDonalds is always open!

5. Make Something

Make a card, make a sweater, just make anything! This is obviously the cheapest option, so stop being lazy and just make a card saying I love you...this is particularly useful for parents when you are a cheap college student like myself, they love you irregardless right?...Sorry Mom and Dad!

So go forth and get those gifts! May the power of sales be ever in your favor...
