Christmas & New Year

Christmas Gift Ideas When Money Is Very Tight

A tight Christmas puts pressure on exactly the wrong thing. The parts of the day people remember — what was said, who made an effort, what was read out at the table — are not the expensive parts. Written gifts are one of the few categories where a small budget is not visible in the result.

Spend the effort where it shows

Attention is free and highly legible. Packaging is expensive and forgotten.

Give time with dates on it

Vouchers redeemable for help, visits and hours cost nothing and are genuinely useful.

What makes it personal

Honest acknowledgement of a hard year, written down, is worth more than a purchased substitute.

What we would make

Relationship Coupon Booklet — $4.99

Ten redeemable coupons written around your actual habits together — the favours, gestures and small truces that only make sense in your relationship.

  • A booklet of ten free favours redeemable across the year.
  • A printed card that says the thing the year made hard to say.
  • A report card celebrating the family's performance through a difficult twelve months.
