How to buy presents when you only have $10.

When I was about 18-19, I had gotten really sick with the flu then pneumonia at the end of October and was out of work for most of November, so I had very little money for gifts. I made homemade gift certificates for my family and friends, things like babysitting, car washes, house cleaning, home cooked sinner and dessert, lawn mowing, and even facials for my mom. Everyone loved them and used them during the next year, I still do some for my parents, especially the lawn mowing and house cleaning as they are both having more and more trouble keeping up with the heavier work as they get older.

Hi Princess, are you good at making things? Personally I love homemade presents and cards especially I have young female friend who ALWAYS sends me a homemade birthday and Christmas card and to me I value it and appreciate it more than a shopbought one, so much so that I have kept all of her cards because they mean something to me. I would much rather someone took the time and thought to make me something than buy me something, so, that being said if there is something you could make with your own fair hands then that would I think be more appreciated than spending money that you can't afford and for presents that might not be fully used?

I am very sorry to hear that. If it was me, I would go to the Dollar Tree, where everything is one dollar. You could also buy some cookie doug or brownie mix or something like that and give that as a present also.
