Christmas is just around the corner which can be a stressful time for many because of the expenses that come with the season. From organizing parties to gifting the people in your life, you simply can’t avoid spending money in December. However, you can get through the holidays without being broke. Finding budget-friendly Christmas gifts is one of the best ways to minimize costs while still bringing a smile to someone’s face.
If you’re planning on showering your loved ones with gifts while staying within a budget, here are some gift ideas under Ksh 1000.
Book
Books are a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys reading. Giving them new material to indulge in is always exciting. Not to mention, they are super affordable. Whether you purchase from a street vendor or a bookshop, there are lots of new and second-hand books that you can find for less than Ksh 1000. You can include a personal note on the front page to make the book more sentimental.
Key Holder
Sometimes, something as simple as a key holder can be more valuable than an expensive gift. This is because a key holder is very personal and the person will carry it everywhere they go. Hence, they will always remember you. Additionally, many people struggle to find a key holder that matches their personality. So, if you come across one, don’t hesitate to get it for your loved one.
Beard Brush
Do you want to help the man in your life up his beard game? Then, the beard brush is the best gift to give him this Christmas and start his collection of grooming equipment. A beard brush is a necessity as it helps detangle, shape and sculpt the beard. Additionally, investing in a good quality beard brush ensures your beard remains healthy as it doesn’t irritate the skin.
Body lotion
A body lotion is a good gift for someone you have deep feelings for such as your mum, friend, girlfriend, wife or sister. It’s not only cute but also useful. Your loved one will make good use of it regularly, if not daily. Additionally, a high-quality body lotion is a good addition to one’s self-care routine. If you’re not sure which scents they will like, you can go for a mild one like vanilla.
Scented candle
Before going for the holiday break, you can gift your colleague or loved one a scented candle. Many of us are planning on enjoying the holiday in the comfort of our homes after the hectic year that we’ve had and the best way to bring cheer and make the home feel cosy is by lighting a scented candle. It creates a relaxing and soothing atmosphere that can help you unwind and kick back while listening to slow Christmas songs.
Diary
Diaries are a good gift idea for Christmas. As we wind up the year, many have a list of things they want to let go of and achieve in the coming year. Having a diary makes it easy to pen and remember those thoughts. Additionally, giving someone a diary shows that you care about them and want the best for them in their life.
Personalized T-shirt
You can never go wrong with a personalized gift. You can customize them any way you want and create something one-of-a-kind. Additionally, it shows that you’ve put some thought into the gift which makes it more special. The best part is there are so many places where you can make customized clothes in town or you can order custom t-shirts online.
Luxury tea
Tea is a huge part of the Kenyan culture. After all, some of the best teas in the world come from Kenya. For some, drinking tea is a form of art. It’s a deep and beautiful experience that allows them to release the world’s troubles and feel at peace. Luxury tea would be the perfect gift for them to indulge in this Christmas. Not to mention, it’s a thoughtful gift that will always remind them of you.
Flowers
Flowers are a timeless gift that will put a smile on anyone’s face. They are one of the best ways to show someone you love and care for them. However, choosing the perfect flowers for someone can be a daunting experience especially if you’re not used to buying them. To be on the safer side, stick to classics like roses and pick their favourite colours.
Chocolate
Like flowers, chocolates are a classic that will never go out of style because who doesn’t love chocolates? They can evoke strong emotions of affection making them the perfect gift to give someone you have strong feelings for. Whether it’s your parents, colleagues or spouse, there’s a chocolate for everyone. So, why not celebrate your loved one this Christmas with a gift of chocolatey goodness?
