For 2020, one thing we can all agree on is that it took a toll on everyone. From COVID-19 to a recession, it can be almost impossible to spend the holidays as much as we'd like. But it's also unlikely to celebrate the festivities without gifts.
If you have secret Santa plans for family and friends this year, here are some thoughtful gift ideas that won't bore deep into your pockets:
Tailor-made Christmas Wears
Rather than buy clothes at a boutique, work with a trusted fashion designer to make clothes for your friend or family member.
Cable Subscription
Whether it's Netflix or DSTV subscription, your giftees would enjoy unlimited access to movies and series during the holidays.
Shoes
Shoes are affordable, especially for women. You can spend a minimum of ₦6,000 for durable footwear for your sisters or female friends. If you're buying for a man, your prices can range from ₦15,000 to ₦20,000 for quality male shoes.
Perfumes
Some long-lasting designer perfumes cost a minimum of ₦12,000. You should visit authorised stores to get the perfumes if you're a little scared of buying a fake product.
House paint
Pimp up your family's or your friends' space with New colours. You can plan with a group of persons to paint the space together. Usually, emulsion paints and some satin paints cost less than ₦20,000.
Bear in mind that this gift only works for small spaces and if you're not hiring a painter.
Foodstuffs
With an uneven increase in foodstuffs, you'd be bringing joy to your giftees with this secret Santa surprise. You can work with buying a half or quarter bag of rice and other food supplies that can bring smiles into their faces.
Hamper Baskets
While this may seem over flogged, it's one of the best gifts for every budget. Of course, you must be certain that your giftee would be impressed by the contents. In any case, look out for the best hamper-basket-options that your money can buy.
Being a secret Santa this festive period doesn't have to be expensive. All that matters is your intent to make your loved ones smile. We hope these ideas can help align your thoughts on your budget gifting.
