Christmas gifting on a budget? In this economy? Yep, we’re right there with you. It’s that time of year when we all want to spoil our loved ones, but our wallets are eyeing us like, “Are you serious?”

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. With rising costs and a gift list that grows every time you blink, finding thoughtful presents that won’t break the bank feels like a holiday miracle. But, honestly, it doesn’t have to be that way.
