Desk Accessories
Transform a mundane work desk into a laughter zone with hilarious desk accessories. Think mini desktop games, quirky stress toys, or comical sticky notes. These affordable items are practical and inject a dose of humor into the recipient’s daily grind. You can always find the best deals in Five Below or the bullseye section at Target.
DIY Cookie Mix in a Jar
Delight your friends with a sweet and affordable treat. Create a DIY cookie mix in a jar by layering the dry ingredients of a favorite cookie recipe. Attach a festive tag with baking instructions, and you’ve got a thoughtful and budget-friendly gift that keeps on giving. Bonus points if you add a holiday twist, like red and green M&M’s for Christmas. All these sweet treats and even the jar can be purchased at Dollar Tree and you will end up investing around $14 to create a couple of jars.
Coffee Treat
Our coffee friends have the best gifts! GIFT CARDS! There’s nothing like a cute treat of a $5 – $8 gift card from Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. You can place it inside a coffee mug from Dollar Tree ($1.25) or even from Burlington (which usually ranges between $3.99 – $5.99). Who doesn’t love a free coffee or donut?
White Elephant gift exchanges are all about embracing the fun and unexpected. With these affordable and entertaining ideas, you can contribute to the merriment without breaking the bank. So, wrap up your chosen gifts with care, and get ready for a memorable and laughter-filled celebration!
