Inspiration for Christmas shopping Gift ideas under 30 francs
The same question arises every year: what to give for Christmas? Especially when the budget is limited, shopping for presents becomes a real challenge. blue News provides gift ideas for little money.
No time? blue News summarizes for you
- The list of people to get a Christmas present for is usually long, but the ideas are often exhausted and the budget is limited.
- blue News provides inspiration for gift shopping: Everything under 30 francs.
- Whether for your mother-in-law or your best buddy - here are some ideas.
The pre-Christmas period is filled with mulled wine aperitifs, end-of-year celebrations, lots of hope for snow - and gift shopping. If Christmas Eve is fast approaching and the parcels have not yet been posted, this can cause a lot of stress towards the end of the year.
The list of presents is quickly made, but what to choose in the end is the big question. After all these years, you've probably already given a lot of presents and the ideas are always the same.
And then there's the big budget question. Not everyone has an unlimited amount of money to spend when shopping for gifts. But the price tag doesn't always have to be a huge sum, even small gifts can bring great joy. The most important thing is to choose with love anyway.
If you're still looking for a little inspiration for your December shopping spree, blue News reveals gift ideas for under 30 francs.
7 gift ideas for your better half
Perhaps you agreed with your girlfriend or boyfriend this year that nothing would be given as a present - but you still want a little something for under the Christmas tree? Or are you simply not in a position to spend a lot this year? A pot of happiness or even a compass can put a smile on the recipient's face, and you don't have to dig deep into your wallet for it. But then enrich it with the right words: a compass so that your significant other can always find their way back to your heart.
