Save money on holiday gifts

In December, many people celebrate special days with family and friends.

For example:

• Christmas
• Hanukkah
• New Year's Eve

People often give gifts. Here are some ways to save money on gifts.

1. Plan ahead

• Buy gifts on sale during the year.

• Look for gifts at garage sales and second-hand stores.

2. Draw names

• Each person buys one gift and receives one gift. Choose a price for the gifts. For example: $20 to $25.

3. Give small gifts

• Give a few small gifts. Put them in a basket or a box. You can make some gifts yourself.
