How do I save money on birthday presents?

If you know sizes and personal clothing tastes then Old Navy might be a good place to look, gloves, pajama pants, bedroom slippers, scarves, and such. If you order for several people at one time you might meet the minimum purchases of $50 and get free shipping. Another place I like to shop for gifts is THE DOLLAR TREE.

I find that sometimes I can purchase things like stationary, pens, pencils, kitchen towels, kitchen gadgets, and cute little storage containers as well as some glassware and even toys. Yes, you have to look out for some faulty items but some are really good buys for the price. Have you considered giving something a little more unique like personal gift coupons that offer services to the friend or family member?

Perhaps something like " This coupon good for one free hand car wash" or "This coupon good for one weekend of dog sitting services. " For a significant other you could offer a coupon for "One 30 minute session of back rub and foot massage. " You can create your own "offers".

If you are a good baker, make a special cake or a batch of cookies to give. Whatever talent you have, just share it!

Depending on the time of year, different stores will have different inventory and offer different promotions. If you are a planner then you may be able to save lots of money by shopping after Christmas for birthday gifts. Prices will be significantly lower and additional coupons or offers may exist in order to provide an added incentive to shoppers, as merchandise which is not sold must be removed from the sales floor in order to make space for the next batch of stuff.

Aside from that, I like RedEnvelope. Com for personal gifts. They have a clearance section with truly low prices and items for every age and gender.

They sometimes offer free shipping and other offers. Signing up for their email ensures the delivery of coupons and sale announcements when available.

To me, the best way to save money on gifts is planning. By planning I mean researching what is the best gift for whoever you're sending them, and then researching prices. You don't want quality to suffer because a of budget.

I'd check out online sites for ideas first and then move on from there. Good luck. bestgiftsfor.net/2010/04/best-gifts-for-....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
