If you're like me, you don't have lots of wiggle room in the budget, so I thought I would share some 'gifts on a budget' list, $10 (okay maybe $15) and under.
- A gift card for their (or your) favourite coffee shop.
- One of your favourite books. Write in the opening page why it's your fave.
- A book of your favourite recipes (3 ring binder with sheet protectors...or something of the sort).
- Some baked goods or even a meal.
- A donation to a ministry/charity in their name
- If you haven't been to ETSY, head on over. They have some great handmade gifts to peruse.
- Support your friends! Maybe your friend has a talent (like my scarf I received). Ask if they will make you whatever they are good at and support/encourage their gifts/talents. Believe me, they will be so encouraged!
- If they have children, provide childcare so they can go out (even if it's just to grocery shop).
- A journal with a purpose. Purchase a journal and personalize it. Write scriptures and other ideas/encouragement throughout.
- And of course, I must encourage you to purchase a mug cozy! Visit ARA Gifts for ideas.

If only I could knit/crochet or had the time to...I'd love to know your friend and perhaps buy some things from her? :D
You can also make coasters with the cork board from the dollar store, and decoupage scrapbook paper or other things on it. Jewelry, aprons (if you can sew). Lots of ideas on Pinterest too! And childcare, love that idea!
Thanks for the ideas! I love the cork board from the dollar store idea and pinterest is great!
