Giving gifts<\/a> is a lovely thing to do, isn\u2019t it? It shows that you have thought about the person, what they like and what they are interested in, and it shows that you care enough to give them something they didn\u2019t know they really wanted.<\/p>\n

But, how do you give a gift with no money? This is a tricky one, and is a question that more of and more of us will start to ask as the cost of living climbs and there is less money for non essentials.<\/p>\n

Luckily, there are a great many things you can do instead of buying gifts with money<\/a> – and you don\u2019t necessarily need to be an artist or a dab hand at making things!<\/p>\n

How To Give A Gift With No Money<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

There are a great many ways to give a gift despite being totally broke – not everything has to cost money to be loved and meaningful, right?<\/p>\n

Give a performance<\/h3>\n

If you are a budding actor, put on a personalised play! If you are a dab hand at the guitar, pen them their very own song.<\/p>\n

Write a story<\/h3>\n

Coming up with a thoughtful story, featuring your favourite people as the heroes and heroines, will be a great gift.<\/p>\n

Paint a picture<\/h3>\n

You don\u2019t have to be Picasso to create some artwork that will be gratefully received. And, if it\u2019s terrible then at least they will cherish the thought!<\/p>\n

Craft something<\/h3>\n

Knitting or sewing<\/a> are great hobbies, and the results of these things can make really good gifts too. Who doesn\u2019t like a scarf or a nice hat?<\/p>\n

Make a mix \u201ctape\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n

Ok, this is a bit 90s, but making a collection of songs you know they love or which make you think of them is a really sweet gift.<\/p>\n

Offer free services<\/h3>\n

If you have a skill, like hairdressing, DIY, mechanic experience, offer your loved ones your expertise. You can guarantee this will be much appreciated!<\/p>\n

Create a photo album<\/h3>\n

Gather together pictures of you and the one you are trying to give a gift to, and present them bound together in some sort of album. They\u2019ll treasure the memories.<\/p>\n

Write a voucher<\/h3>\n

If you will be able to afford a gift in a few months time, write the recipient an IOU, telling them what you have in\u00a0 mind for them.<\/p>\n

Give an experience<\/h3>\n

Spending time with someone is a great gift, so plan a day that you spend with a loved one without spending any money. Moonlight picnic, anyone?<\/p>\n

Visit second hand shops<\/h3>\n

Quite often you can get terrific bargains for very little money, and no one has to know that they are not new.<\/p>\n
