Practical Christmas Gifts for Under $10

Timothy Scheiman
This article is about gifts that almost everyone could use one time or another. If you have someone hard to buy for or you just don't know what to get them this article is for you. It seems you always have one person that you don't know what to get them for Christmas and you don't want to spend a fortune doing it.

Screwdrivers

Everyone will need to use a screwdriver now and than. You can get a couple screwdrivers like a flat head and philips for under $10. You can also get a screwdriver that you can change the heads. You usually can get a small set for under $10. The next time they need to fix or tighten something this gift will come in handy.

Driving gloves

Driving a car on a cold day is a lot easier with a pair gloves. You can usually find a nice pair of gloves for under $10. Sometimes you can find a nice pair of leather gloves for under $10. Retailers will have some already packaged and ready to wrap. This gift will not only be appreciated but will be used. I never like to give gifts that will be thrown away or never used. This is one gift I know will get used.

Movie tickets or passes

You could also get a movie pass for those people who love to go to the movies. That way when a movie comes out they want to see its basically already paid for. I know some people who love to receive this type of gift. They would most likely go to the movies anyway so they will love this gift.

Gift cards and gift certificates

You can get a $10 gift card for a lot of places some of which are Dunkin Donuts, Blockbusters, Best Buy, etc. So many places offer gift cards and gift certificates. You just give them a card or certificate from their favorite place and your done. They will appreciate this gift so much and it will get used. You never know your gift could buy them lunch or take $10 off of their next high tech gadget.

Top-up cards

Lots of people own prepaid cell phones. You just may have a person on your list to own one. So you can get a top-up card for his particular carrier. A $10 dollar top-up card will be so appreciated. This is one gift that will not be returned or thrown away.

VHS or DVD movie deals

I am sure you have seen the displays of previously viewed movies you can get for under $10. Some are even new and never used. It maybe an older movie thats under $10 but if someone likes that movie it will make a great gift. For this gift you just have to shop and look around a bit. The $10 movie deals are out there you just have to find them.
