When you have a big family or even a small family you want to buy gifts for, some times it is hard to come up with things they will both like and find useful. I have searched three major retail stores and have come up with a list of items you can find for each member of your family for under $10 each. These items are the normal prices but sometimes if you wait for sales, you can get them even cheaper.
For everyone
1. Packages of socks
2. Packages of underwear
3. T-shirts and/or cotton shirts (for women and girls, there are stores which carry clothes for $10 or less in malls all over the country)
4. Sweat pants and shirts
5. Slippers
6. Pillows
7. Gift cards or gift certificates (a bookstore has something for everyone)
8. Movie pass
For newlyweds or for those with first apartments
1. Plastic wear
2. Laundry baskets or hampers
3. Toaster
4. Mixer
5. Electric can opener
6. Iron
7. Towels and washcloths
8. Dish strainer
9. Set of glasses or cups
Babies and toddlers
1. Sleeper
2. Onesie's (one piece baby underwear)
3. Socks (they always get lost)
4. Diapers (always needed)
5. Non-spill sippy cups (can buy with favorite character)
Small children
1. Barbie dolls
2. Stuffed animals
3. Action figures from the latest movie
4. Books with learning themes (A,B,C's, and 1,2,3's)
5. Music tapes or CD's
6. Plastic working microphone
Teenage girls
1. Make up
2. Jewelry (usually the newest fad with this crowd is less than $10 each piece)
3. Make up case
4. Journal
5. Grooming products (hairbrush, hair ornaments, shampoo/conditioner) You could put all theses in a basket. This would make a lovely gift for any young girl.
Boys, young and teenage
1. Sports cards
2. Pokemon cards or the latest "in" thing
3. Gameboy cases
4. Control packs or various accessories for video games
5. Baseball caps with their favorite team logo
6. T-shirt with favorite team logo or cartoon character
Men
1. Electric razor or other men's grooming product
2. Baseball cap with favorite team logo
3. Discount CD of their favorite band or from favorite movie
4. Tools (can buy several and put in box for special gift)
5. Small toolbox
6. Battery charger
7. T-shirt with favorite team logo
Women
1. Flower arrangement using her favorite flower
2. Bath products (bubbles, bath oils)
3. Big Candles (with her favorite scent)
4. A planned evening out or in without children
These are some simple ideas for inexpensive gift giving. You can give each gift separately or mix and match. You might want to go "window shopping" with a pad and pen and jot down some of your own ideas.
