Wallet-friendly gift giving!

Bringing good cheer to friends and family doesn't mean spending big bucks. Follow these six savvy hacks to spread a little joy
Wallet-friendly gift giving!

1 TWIST ON SECRET SANTA

We all know about Secret Santa, where you set a certain price limit on gifts. But how about a sustainable twist? Instead of a price limit, agree that the gift should be second-hand - it could be something you pick up for free on Facebook Marketplace or a potted plant from your garden. Be creative and help save the planet too.

2 GIFT TO REMEMBER 

Make a homemade gift card entitling the recipient to a fully planned day of experiences. It could be taking your niece and nephew on a tour of the best beaches, or treating your sister-in-law to a day at her favourite gallery or museum. Just think about what they love to do and set up a day to do it with them.
