- A presentation of favorites is a great gift for the friend you spend a lot of time around. Throughout the year, jot down items he says he enjoys, making special note of ones that don't cost a great deal. Present him with his favorite fudge, mixed CD of songs or take him on an outing to his favorite park or sporting event. You don't have to spend a lot and not only does this kind of gift say "I love you," but it also tells your friend that you listen and care about what he loves.
- Since the invention of the digital camera, nearly everyone has become picture crazy. With more photos comes the need to showcase them. Scrapbooking is a real time commitment, so offer to come over and help her put together some pages, bringing a bottle of wine or other beverage. You can also create pages with your own pictures of times you've spent together that she can add to her book.
- Another way to have fun with a photograph is printing it on canvas. There are several online companies that provide this service at a very reasonable cost. Purchase an inexpensive art canvas at a local craft supply store and stretch and staple the canvas over it yourself to save even more money. The photo appears similar to a painting for a fraction of the cost.
- Allthingsfrugal.com suggests that spending a little time in the kitchen leads to a great inexpensive gift. Prepare a batch of your loved one's favorite cookies or fix a fresh jar of jam. Display your gift in a unique way, such as in a basket lined with a nice kitchen towel they can use. For the recipients who is a busy bee, consider giving her a gift certificate for a fresh homemade meal any time she needs a break.
