Ten Free Christmas Gift Ideas

Free Christmas Gifts Can Be Meaningful

Sometimes we find ourselves short on Christmas cash, yet we still have several people left on our Christmas lists. If this happens to you this Christmas, give some thought to these ten free Christmas gift ideas.

1. Coupons: You can easily make coupons this Christmas for your friends, family, and coworkers, for free. To create these free Christmas coupons, open a word processing program and search for clipart that will match your coupon. For example, if you want to give your child a free Christmas coupon that entitles them to a month without having to take out the trash, you could search for trash can. Once you have selected a clipart image, type your message next to the coupon, selecting a nice font to add character to your free Christmas coupon. Once you have made the number of free Christmas coupons that you need, print them out and put them in an envelope. I highly suggest decorating the envelope to make the gift even more special. For example, if you have stickers around the house that your child would like, decorate the envelope that way. If the free coupons are for your partner, decorate the envelope with hearts and love quotes that can be found online.

2. Homemade Treats: Homemade treats make the perfect free Christmas gift. If you have a well stocked pantry, you can easily make a free Christmas gifts. Choose easy recipes, last Christmas I chose four recipes, I split the recipes up and packaged them in Christmas tins, but you could easily put the treats on paper plates and wrap them with plastic wrap. The people, I gave these free Christmas treats to, were thrilled. They liked the candy and cookies more than previous Christmas gifts that weren’t free. Free Christmas gifts that come from the heart mean more than something hastily picked up at the local department store.
