The holidays are upon us, and pretty soon people will start buying gifts for their loved ones. Whether it is the newest game system, a nice piece of jewelry, or whatever the latest toy is, these days people everywhere are going around and spending their time and credit cards to give the people they love the gifts they want.

But what happens when we can't afford to give them exactly what they want? What do we do then?

Sometimes whenever we buy a gift for someone, we worry that if they don't like it then they won't like us anymore and think that we are cheap. Sometimes we even end up having a nervous breakdown when we can't find the perfect gift for them.

In reality, I think they should be happy that you were thinking of them at all. They should be happy that someone took time out to even give them anything.

If you are looking for something to give someone handmade items are a good idea, they are from the heart.

If that person loves and cares about you then they shouldn't care about how much money that they spend on you but instead be happy with the gift that they did receive.

Another thing you can do is instead of buying them a material item, take them out somewhere. Go see a movie, go out to eat, go on a trip to the city, take pictures with them, if you can't afford to buy them anything then do something that is cheap but still fun at the same time.

The holidays are about more than just giving presents, they are about being with the ones you love and spending time with them and making some really good memories.
