Can you believe it’s November!! Before we know it, Thanksgiving will be here and then there will be just a few more weeks until Christmas! Are you ready? I’m not! I do have a few more inexpensive holiday gift ideas for you including some ideas for kids.
Put together your own gift baskets! There are so many that would be fun and inexpensive to do. Like a spa/manicure one, movie night or how about this car wash kit.

It doesn’t have to be just for Daddy- I’m sure any teenage new car owner would be happy to have it too
I love this idea for someone that likes to bake! This is a gift basket that you can buy already put together. But I think it would be so easy to do on your own. You can get some of the items at the dollar store or even thrift store. You can wait for sales on cookie cake mixes or include your own homemade mix. It’s basically white wash cloths, kitchen mitt, kitchen towel, spatula, cookie cutters, measuring spoons and mix. You could make this anyway you want!
How about this one from Country Living. I would put a mix for cornbread in the skillet unless you’re giving it on Christmas Day. You can find baskets at practically any garage sale or thrift store for just a few cents.
With gift baskets it’s all in the presentation. So think outside the box, it doesn’t have to be in a basket just because they’re called gift baskets!
How about silhouettes of the kids for the Grandparents? I love how she added numbers to each one!
For Kids – after Halloween buy some clearance items and make a dress up box for them.
How about some yummy smelling gingerbread playdough?
If you’re good at sewing here’s a link to free American Doll type dress patterns agplaythings.com
Sew Mama Sew – she uses a small shirt from the dollar store to make a cute ruffled skirt. It’s so cute!
This doll sleeping bag is so cute! Riley Blake Design
Make a marshamallow gun out of pvc pipes! I would paint it to dress it up. But it looks like fun and it certainly won’t hurt anybody or thing!
I hope some of these ideas help to get your creative juices flowing. There’s still time to be creative and frugal with you’re gift giving this year!

Great gift ideas! I remember my late mother-in-law made ‘bedding’ and clothes for our daughter’s dolls. Have a great day!
Thanks for these tips, I am going to get to work on Christmas creating:) Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
Oh any little girl would love the things for dolly! I know that I always did. I’m afraid that my grands would eat the playdough. I have a lot of faith in those two, don’t I?! ☺
That’s the point with homemade playdough. It’s made out of natural grocery items so they can eat it without getting sick. Although it doesn’t taste good so after one bite that would be it!
Thanks for all these great ideas. I went back as I missed the first post. I ordered the sock book. Those little critters would make great gifts for our littles.
Oh I love the bakers ensemble for the person who loves to bake! I was just wondering what to get my son’s girl friend! This would be perfect for her. She LOVES! baking.
A few years back we did marshmallow guns for all the kids in our family….the big ‘kids’…were the worst. I’m glad we bought extra marshmallows! (don’t forget the marshmallows)
loved these ideas…I’m pinning some!:) Pat
Those are some good ideas. It has been several years since I did gift baskets – may have to think about that again this year.
Hard to believe the holidays are just around the corner.
thanks for the ideas- this is going to be a low-spending Christmas for sure for us but I have yet to do much planning or making.
as a grandmother, I would love love love that silhouette as a gift.
I love the breakfast basket! We just got a ton of marked down tangerines, not a thing wrong with them. I can see me making some tangerine marmalade, honey butter and cornbread. Add some thrifted siver knives and it would be wonderful!
That a wonderful idea! It’s something I’d love to receive for sure. You could even add some nice homemade napkins.
i would feel like the most terrible daugher if i got my dad a car wash kit. yikes!
Well Stef then I guess you won’t be giving him a car wash kit! 🙂
All great ideas! I especially like the cornbread mix basket. So cute!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today 🙂
Such inspiring ideas Manuela, Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing these great ideas! They are much appreciated.
I really love the one for the baker. I plan on making one for my co-worker! Lots of great ideas and yikes…it is just right around the corner! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Great ideas Manuela!
We like to give meaningful gifts for the receiver of the gift, some of these and some from your previous list would be perfect!
Cute ideas, but I am just not ready to think about Christmas. We go away for a family trip as our Christmas present so we have cut back on the gifts and just enjoy the time together.
I’m giving myself permission to begin to think about Christmas now that it’s November. I am still keeping my eye on Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday, but I’m ready to think about gift giving. Keep the great ideas coming!
I love these ideas Manuela. I am always looking for creative gifts to give to friends.
Very fun ideas Manuela!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
