Christmas Gifts On A Budget For The Whole Family || Christmas Gifts UNDER $10 

Hello it’s me… so I didn’t get to add the Dollar Tree DVD footage, I had an allergic reaction and was drowsy on Benadryl when I edited this 😂 but!! I’ll put it in a short.

This year as gifts, we are making vintage style fruit baskets! With the way prices are, who wouldn't like a nice basket filled with fruit, nuts, maybe some jams and breads and a few candy treats? Each basket we plan to make will feed a whole family :) Thank you for all your amazing inspirations!

My elderly neighbor loves Coke and chocolate. For Christmas, I pick one or the other as a theme. Last year, though, I did neither. It was a Warm Theme. Hot chocolate and mug, slippers, super soft blanket, and thin gloves that keep her warm but allow her to use the remote control and her phone. Coke theme: Case of Coke, Coca Cola playing cards, and a personalized bottle of In Case of Emergency Coke, and a Coke magnet. I don't spend a lot but more than my budget per child or grandchild for her because she is a widow with no children and all alone. When she's up to it, she spends holidays with us or I take over a plate of food and treats. Great ideas, Brooke! Love themes! And a budget!

I love gathering items specifically for whoever you are making a gift basket for & putting it together for them! I do it every year. One themed basket that's my favorite for a reading fanatic is to pick up books 📚 of the genres the person likes best all year long @ dollar tree & thrift stores! Add the person's favorite beverage & a fuzzy blanket or fuzzy socks - their favorite snacks , a new book mark & maybe a candle! The prettiest basket ! Thanks for showing us this! Love 💕

Movie night is one of our go-to gifts for families with older kids or teen birthdays! We usually do a gift bag with a bag of microwave popcorn, one candy, and a large bag of chips. We will often put a Redbox gift certificate in the card so they can choose their own movie. We starting doing it after someone gave that gift to our family and we loved it!

Here it is almost Christmas 20, 23, and I just came across your last Christmas video. I think you've got the greatest kids. I think if you gave them a tortilla wrapped in napkin they'd be happy and you are so blessed to have them. I can see you no matter what they get from you and Dusty. They're happy with it. You have done something right and raising your children. God has truly blessed the two of you. And I know he'll continue to bless you. Love you, Brooke

My favorite auntie memory is buying two used china tea sets and two Christmas blankets for my nieces. Then every year I'd bring Christmas snack cakes or cookies and hot cocoa over to my sister's house and we'd have a picnic on the floor with the tea sets and blankets, often with some of their bffs to join us. It would be one of the first things we'd do when I arrived.

I agree with you. If someone is unhappy about the gift you've chosen, they don't deserve a gift. It's the thought that counts. Homemade food treats from me for gifts were common for several years when times were lean. I love getting homemade gifts and gifts that were put together. It shows they cared enough to think about it.❤️❤️❤️

Love your family gift sets! If budget allows I'd do a baking gift like this for almost the same price. Dollar tree bowl $1.25 Cake mix on sale $1 ( red velvet is good) Recipe card with instructions on cake mix cookies..can decorate recipe card with holiday stickers .10¢ Bottle of sprinkles from Walmart $1( kids LOVE doing sprinkles!) Mixing spoon $1 Walmart, DG or $1.25 dollar tree.

My neighbor are a family of eight. Last year and this year I put together a hot chocolate box filling it with coffee tea and hot chocolate and things that go with the drinks Manley candy and cookies and marshmallows. They love it!!!

I love making homemade gifts like… candles, cookies, caramel dip, and different muffins or mini loaf’s. I always get complements the following Christmas about may family remembering about the item’s I had made or baked the year before. And that just warms my ♥️ to hear that 🎄 🍪 🎁 🍞 🍮 🕯

I love the "make memories" gifts. Movie night & craft kit gifts have been a hit for birthdays too.

Brooke you are so real! I love watching the way you are with Dusty and the boys your love and caring actions make me feel so warm inside. God bless you girl and thanks.

I would give these to my own Children or Grandchildren! They would make good Santa Gifts or just an extra gift from parents, etc..😊❣️

This is a great idea. And if you continue the tradition every year families will look forward to your gifts every year. Another memory made.

Great ideas. Anything that promotes family fun is a win.

I would be so happy to get one of those gifts too. You’re a sweet woman, Brooke! Thank you for sharing ❤️ I’m going to use your ideas for my nieces and nephews. Probably add in a story night basket too.

I love this! I keep my eyes open all year long for clearance deals on things that would be good to put as part of a family gift for the holidays. Then when the season is here, I am ready and can put the best gifts together for very cheap.

Thanks for the great ideas . I have worked since I was 14 years old and recently became disabled and this is my Second Christmas without working. So this is really good to help me more than you will ever know.🙏

My Sister in laws Birthday is right before Thanksgiving. A couple of years ago I thought about what she really needed. TIME. So I made a gingerbread dough and a sugar cookie dough, a brown sugar dough she could put chocolate chips, or oatmeal or peanut butter into. She put them into the freezer, and she and my niece made tons of cookies for friends and family. You don't have to make all the dough I did for a great gift, but at the holidays the gift of time is everything😊😊😊❤❤❤.

I just bought my grandsons Christmas at the resale shop. Less than $20 and 3 gifts. They look brand new. The only thing missing is the packaging. 🤷🏻‍♀️

we do this alot, and not just for christmas. 💙💜💚💜💙 weve done taco ones with tortillas, salsa, queso & nacho chips, in a big chip bowl then we would add salsa bowls or specialty hot sauce. There is also spaghetti night with the parm chz, fancy sauce & some crafty noodles with a nice dishtowel and also date nite with a cute cheapie fleece blanket from Tramlaw, A good rom/com movie and a candle

Love it. I've always loved creating memories for family. For my daughter's 40th bday I created a scrapbook of 40 of my cherished memories of her childhood and included photos. Did the same for my parents 75th birthdays.

What a wonderful idea. Very thoughtful and thrifty. It includes everyone in the family! I hope it catches on! You go girl!!!

I personally would love the baking gift

love this! One year we did make gifts for each of the kids-I have 4 kids every kid picked a name and then made a gift for that person. It was so cute.They made those tied fleece blankets, jewelry, slime.....We did that Christmas Eve,

These were great ideas. Since my boys were little we have been mostly giving thrifted gifts with a couple new things sprinkled in, it saves a ton!

Great idea of making memories. One tradition we had when the kids were small was after eating Thanksgiving dinner we went outside and put up Christmas decorations, went back inside, put up the tree then had hot chocolate and pumpkin pie. Memories…. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

Thank you for sharing! Love the craft night gift basket! ♥️💚♥️💚♥️💚♥️💚♥️💚♥️💚

I make body, face lotion, foot/habd scrubs, bath oils. I am attempting to make decorations this year - love homemade, special, and family gifts. One family I gave a snowbrick making kit to be used in making a snowfort, snowman etc. A friend of mine liked to give her late mother in law puzzles as gifts. Well I gave the same friend's sister a ride home to the senior apartments where she lived. They had a FREE table. I found a brand new, unopened puzzle to give my friend for her mother in law ! Pays to KEEP your eyes open. ♥ this video Brooke

My kids have always preferred making memories by doing things together than getting things!!

My oldest son and his new bride have been giving us a 'family basket' since 2019. We always look forward to all of the goodies inside and my daughter-in-law doesn't have to wrap individual gifts. Win! Win!

Thank you 🙏 ❤such great ideas creating heartfelt gifts for the best gift of all memories! FABULOUS 🎉

OMG! You are brilliant! This gives all of us a jumping off start, spend more, or spend less. You are totally right. If they don't like it, they didn't deserve a gift anyway!

I love these ideas! So great for people who are hard to buy for.

My sis came over and made cookies with me and my girls and it's something me and my daughters will forever remember for the rest of our lives!

Was lmao when u said if someone don’t like this gift then they don’t deserve it anyway so true and your boys r the cutest they seem very grateful

My favorite Christmas tree as a child was one we spent all day decorating with handmade decorations. I love all your ideas.

I do this every year. On movie box I have gotten Redbox gift card. Black Friday they last 2 year's had gift card special. I have also at Dollar tree gotten 2 pack kool aid and sometimes they have very small sugar. So now add to one of the family nites and you got drinks. I also look for outings. My daughter and grandson like to hike. So small backpack and feel with trail mix, water straws are fun to do. Maybe add a visor or hat or good thick socks. One for my daughter and grandson. I have paid for entry to park or beach if you have one near by. If your family has a way to build fire. Make a Smores kit and stuff for weeine roast. Great vlog. Throw out great ideas, let share and help each other. Have a blessed day!!

Wonderful ideas!! Love the movie night idea. Thank you for sharing ❤️

You are so awesome these are great gift ideas you are truly a special person 😊 ❤

Yes last year we did not cocoa mix in a jar and Christmas cookies in a jar. we just wrote the recipe and wrapped around with ribbon. I love gifts like these . I have done the movie boxes also. So fun. I saw one where you could do family ice cream night. I thought that was fun too. Great ideas.

Awesome idea on the movie family pack!!!

Wonderful idea!! You are so creative. These would all be wonderful gifts!

We are big into experiences. A family trip, family night at the theatre and go to the deluxe seats with a waiter that comes to your recliner, or an interactive dinner like hibachi. Those are my favs. OR give them things they need if they are struggling. Mega TP pack & cleaning supplies are great for kids who are at college or in their first apartment. Great video!

My girls are grown now but when they were little anytime I got to the Dollar Tree by myself I would try to find one or two things for them. I would take them home and stash them and then come Christmas I would have a gift bag and they would each have it filled with Dollar Tree stuff. My kids say this was one of their favorite gifts that they can remember! There would be candies and stationery and toys and coloring books just an assortment. But it was like a big grab bag of fun and since I did a little at a time even though it probably was like a $30 gift it was easy for me to afford. Another idea for a tween or teen girl you could make a manicure basket they have those little nail sets and a couple nail polish and remover Maybe that would be good if you didn't buy something for the whole family and you wanted to Frugal teenager idea. Also one year after my dad died I sat and wrote 52 memories I had with my family from growing up to adulthood and I gave it to my mom in a cute jar that I decorated. So when she's feeling sad and lonely she can take one of the memories out and read it and it makes her smile. She loved that gift!

Oh I just remembered, another great project with your kids is making cinnamon ornaments for the tree. A little cinnamon, flour and cheap cookie cutters. And a ton of fun.

Great ideas. And so affordable. Thanks for the video. Hugs to you and your family.

Awesome gift ideas, thanks for sharing ❤️👍❤️👍❤️

Thanks for the idea. Just came back from multiple stores to get what I wanted to get. But instead I did one basket per kid (2 kids) but still doing it as a family. Also made them each personal care baskets

You are an amazing person! I find your videos not only refreshing but inspirational as well!

Thank you!!! I’ve been stumped this year on what to get people! You just gave me so many ideas!!!

Great ideas! Dollar tree also has plastic popcorn tubs and individual popcorn cups if you wanted to go that route.

I loved this video because I won’t use these ideas exactly as you are, but they caused me to think of a way that would work for our situation. Thumbs up!

Thank you so much!!!!!! I am so going to use these ideas!! And pass it along!!!!

I love your boys! You and Dusty have been raising them very well! I have 3 of my 4 granddaughters living with me and my husband. One is a baby, but the older two have heard me reminding them (a lot!) to “be positive and kind!” I will often say this when they are bickering. Well, wouldn't you know, they have been getting along SO much better lately. I myself, have been taking the advice of being “positive and kind” when I notice I am cranky. Words said aloud are powerful. Whether good or bad, they stay with us forever. I read once that our subconscious remembers everything. It shapes us. Thank you so much, Brooke, for all you do. You have no idea the impact you are making on the world. With following your compassionate heart, you have found your purpose in life. Positivity and kindness are spreading because of YOU. Much love and peace, Kimberley xo

I just found your channel and I’m so excited. Times are hard right now and you have such great ideas. Love the frugal meals and just thrilled to watch this one, Christmas gift ideas. ❤

I think I will do the movie in a box for my kids on Christmas eve

This is great! You are great! Your kids are great! Looking forward to more Christmas videos with you!

Brooke all those ideas are awesome. Loved the family craft night❤❤

I love these idea's. You have awesome kids.

Love these ideas ❤ so clever to gift a memory

I got excited when you started the video and said you're doing your first Christmas video! Christmas is my favorite holiday and time of year too!! 🎄🎁🎀🥧🎄 I really like the family craft night caddy! But they are all great!

I love your holiday gift ideas.

This year I'm filling tins with homemade cookie dough rolled into balls and frozen. When they want fresh cookies they can just pop the onto a pan and into the oven. Thanks, Brooke!

I think these would be cute gifts for like Teachers/ Preschool Teachers, Therapist (my kids have Speech and OT for Special needs) like so many ppl gift ideas popping through my head lol

Great ideas. Can't wait to see more.

These are all great ideas!! Thank you so much for sharing and giving me some ideas!! You are awesome! 💜💜

I do the movie thing alot! And our dollar tree has decent titled sometimes.

These are awesome ideas. Thank you so much for sharing!

Those are awesome gift ideas!! Thank you so much for sharing❤

This is a great idea. Gifts for the whole family. It seems that over the years Christmas has become very commercialized and a contest to see who can out do who. But there has been times in the early part of my marriage when money was tight like now. I made homemade gifts. Because I like to bake it things like cookies, banana bread, pumpkin bread and homemade candies. I have also done things like homemade mixes for cookies, muffins and things like that. I still do this for some people. But I like the idea for these gift packages. We even did a care package for a college student. You could do care packages for single parents, elderly couples or singles or anyone else that you can think of. This could be food, personal items or laundry and cleaning supplies. Just a little food for thought. I love Christmas as well. Decorating for Christmas already. Thank you for the videos. You and your family do a wonderful job. God bless!!!

YESSS GIRL!!! Just what I needed. Great video in these crazy inflation times. If you have more budget gift ideas please share them with us! I am on a big kick about getting useful gifts or gifts to create memories and these are perfect ideas. Thanks to your kiddos I know to get the families with younger kids the game night, and teens the movie night!

Great ideas Brooke! Keep them coming!!!

Such wonderful suggestions. I love that they're for the whole family.

Thank you for these ideas!!! Going to use these.

These are really cute ideas.

These are all great ideas 👍🏽 I love your family does arts n crafts night💕. One of my favorite things I use to enjoy each Christmas season was a neighbor would always gift us homemade cookies. They were so good 😂and homemade with love !

These are such great ideas even if you're not on a budget. This is time well spent with your kids and that is priceless. Happy Thanksgiving!! 🙏❤

Thank you SO much ..I love gifts that create memories...I like to give my 2 grandsons gifts that last

All of those are great ideas, but all I need is some Reese's peanut butter cups, and Arizona tea (any flavor), and a day to nap 😂

Great job! People need more family time. I've got a collab going on right now handmade gifts $10 or less. We've had some hood ideas grom the different channels. Lots of fun. ,😁

I love an “experience” gift over a thing any day. These are great ideas!

Great ideas! Love them all!

This was a neat video loved what you put together and love your excitement over Christmas 💕

Your videos make me smile. Love the ideas!

Growing up my family did game nights regularly. A great all-around game for the whole family is usually card sets: Uno, Phase 10, or a couple of regular decks with a card games rule book. Another "treat" to add to the family nights is stuff to make your own pizza. Chef Boyardee used to have a pantry kit that was shelf stable... I wonder if they still do...

You are so amazing Brooke! Your ideas are on track with mine. I hope your channel explodes. You are telatesble and I love that.

I absolutely LOVE the idea of a family gift!! And what better gift than great memories??!!

Family gifts are an amazing idea.. Blessing

We do Secret Santa gifts within our family.

So many good idea s love them all ❤

This was a great video!! Very helpful thank you❤

I LOVE Christmas!🎄🎄🎄🎄

Thank you for the ideas! I enjoy homemade gifts as well, but so often I run out of time. This will be a good resource for quick, but thoughtful presents this holiday season. I like that you included your boys for a kid/teen perspective of the gifts!

My favorite is family movie night. I think I'll do that. Thanks

Thank you for sharing this video! It’s the perfect time to start thinking about gifts for family and friends! I love the ideas and the thought that it’s a memory makes it’s so special!

Love these ideas!! 💝 Thank you!

Brooke, these are wonderful & very thoughtful family gift ideas, and you are so right memories are more special than anything else 🎄💗🎄 💗

I kind of hope everyone decides to skip niece and nephew gifts, but if not each family is getting a set of toy Walkie talkies. (~20 per set on Amazon) They can all be used on the same channel and I know it’ll keep them entertained while the adults are yapping.
