A lot of pictures get taken during the holidays, which translates into a lot of pictures to have developed. Help defray the cost by giving someone on your list a gift certificate for photo processing.
Tip: Opt for a gift card to a drug store or big-box store, and you'll get more prints for your dollar.
6. A Hobby Supply

Hobby supplies can be quite expensive, but a single hobby supply can make an affordable and thoughtful gift. Buy a paintbrush for an artist, a cooking utensil for a cooking connoisseur, scrapbook paper for a scrapbooker, gardening gloves for the gardener. Give it some thought and you're sure to come up with a $10 or less gift to go along with any hobby.
