Question

What if I have no money whatsoever to spend on presents?

Community Answer

You can make gifts. It is more practical and feels more personal. I'm sure they will appreciate it more than a store-bought item.

Question

How do I get more presents than my sister?

Community Answer

Christmas is not about how many presents you get, it is about how many gifts you give. So don't be selfish this year and spend more time thinking about what to give to your family and friends, and less time thinking about what you think you should get.

Question

Can I get something 50p or less over my budget?

Community Answer

Well, that's up to you. Only you know how flexible your budget is based on your particular income, savings, etc. But speaking specifically, that is a very small amount of money so you should be fine.

Question

What kind of present should I buy for my parents? I don't know how to ask them what they like, I'm afraid they will be suspicious of me.

Community Answer

Well, parents always like handmade stuff. So, you could frame a drawing or photo. Or you could just look at what your parents like to do or say they need. Say, for example, your mom loves to cook. You could buy her a cook book or a something for the kitchen.
