Recently, I went to Dollar Tree to shop for some cute, inexpensive Christmas gifts for my friends.

Even though people say not to get them something, sometimes you feel obliged—like you should show them that you appreciate them. This can be done with words or a simple, heartfelt card but if you want to get a friend something that won’t break the bank, head on over to Dollar Tree.

Dollar Tree plus some imagination, aka Pinterest, equals happy and appreciative friends.

Here’s some ideas for you:

You can always give someone their favorite candy (a classic!) with a cute saying.

For example, I “mint” to tell you how much I love you! Accompanied with mints or a mint flavored candy.  

You could get them a Christmas themed jar and write 25 things you love about that person.

You can get them fuzzy socks in fun colors! (I personally love fuzzy socks!)

You can get them a Christmas themed mug and fill it with cocoa fixings! Or you can get a plain mug and decorate/personalize it yourself!

You can get them a mini stocking, decorate it, and fill it with candy!

You can get them a 2017 calendar and fill it with inspiring quotes or important dates (aka national donut day).

You can get them a holiday tin and fill it with baked goods!

Coloring Books are always acceptable!
