What to get my daughters for Christmas on a tight budget? - 1
We're ver poor, like food stamps poor and we live from paycheck to paycheck. We have saved up some money to have a $100 budget for Christmas. My daughters are 14 (Lexi) and 6 (Jessie) Her are some things about them.
Lexi: She has a babysitting job every Saturday and has saved up to buy herself an Iphone 5 so we aren't going to buy her a cellphone. Even though we're poor, she likes to dress well and keep herself looking good by wearing makeup and getting her nails done. She loves clothes and shoes but doesn't have much; about 10 short sleeves, 8 long sleeves, 3 blue jeans, 2 jackets, 2 yoga pants, 2 skirts, 3 dresses, 2 cardigans, 1 hoodie, 2 pairs of boots brown and black, one pair of knock off converses, and 2 pairs of sandels. We usually get clothes and shoes at yard sales but we want to look for nice but cheap clothes at thrift shops but I don't know where to look. She loves to read books and is very artistic and creative and loves to create DYI projects and draw/paint.
Jessie: She loves clothes as well and has the about the same amount of clothes as her sister. I wanna look for some cheap but pretty clothes for her too. She loves to play with baby dolls and barbies but only has about 2 baby dolls and 1 barbie and 1 ken and really wants some kind of barbie house. She also loves to read and enjoys playing house and outside.
So, based on what I told you about them, what are some good but afforable things to get them for Christmas? The reason I'm asking is because my husband and I haven't bought Christmas or birthday gifts for my daughters for the past 5 years and we actually have the money to this year. On past Christmas and Birthdays, we just gave them candy and cupcakes with a candle and spent family time with ask their gift (we don't live near family) and I want to make it special for them this year. Thank you!
Added (1). I want to spend 50 each on them
Take the whole family out to a movie and treat everyone to candy etc enjoy it all together;-)
The most common thrift shops are Salvation Army & Goodwill. I know for a fact that at Salvation Army you can find brand names like Hollister, American Eagle, etc. For your 14 year old. If you look hard enough you'll find cute things for both of them at reasonable prices.
On Mondays they have 50$ items, Friday and Saturday 5 for $5 clothing, so those would be the best days to shop. They have little toys and such as well.
For your older daughter, you can look for art supplies at the Dollar Store or a thrift store, maybe some jewelry or nice bath things at the Dollar Store
For your younger daughter, there are toys to be found at thrift stores, also Dollar Store has a lot of dolls and such.
If you look hard enough and spend wisely you'll be able to stretch your budget a lot! Hope this helps!
- What should I use to loosen a tight screw? I want to replace my iphone 4 screen (because it's cracked) and the instructions say to take out lke 10 screws. I got 9/10 and the last one is stuck. Whenever I google it, it tells me to use WD40. I don't know what that is or where to get it and I need a solution as quick as possible. I don't want to ruin my phone btw. I don't have time to go and buy it, so is there any other solution?
