I have a huge Christmas list and lots of teenagers on it. Their tastes are so expensive but my budget is so so small. I want to impress them and not have my gift go to waste. thanks
Answer
1) Gift cards - Teenagers are so picky about what they like. Trust me, they would prefer to choose their own sweater than have you guess about their style. When I was a teenager, this would have been just about the best gift! Unlike adults, most teenagers will not care that gift cards are not "personal" like a traditional gift.
2) Gift baskets - Buy a cheap basket and create a themed gift. For instance, a gift card to BlockBuster, a DVD or two you know they will enjoy, several bags of popcorn, and mini-cans of their favorite soda would be a fun themed gift for a teen.
3) Lotions/candles from a chain store like Bath and Body works would be great gifts, particularly for a female. If you buy them from a chain, s/he can exchange them if s/he would prefer a different scent.

Wedding gifts $50 and under?

We only have today to buy the gift at the mall.
My friend and I are going to a wedding. It's the wedding of our Admissions Officer. We are still in college and pretty poor. So we are buying a gift together on a $50 budget. Any ideas?
Answer
Wow, did you get some good answers!
People understand that you are students on a budget. I'm sure they will appreciate whatever you give them. I would also assume that you would not be extremely close with this person (however I could be wrong).
Gift cards or plain old money is always a safe bet (unless your/ their culture has some sort of 'tradition' rule regarding not giving cash as a gift;I have heard of that believe it or not).
Cash is great because it is always appreciated and easily used for whatever the couple needs.
I also really like the serving platter or towels idea. If you get them in plain white, they should match any decor. And I know that I can always use another really nice platter or towel set for company!
Generally, avoid photo albums, wine glasses, etc. Couples often already have loads of these items, and guests often will give them multiples on top of that. We still have 2 sets of glasses still in boxes in our basement because we have nowhere else to put them in our kitchen! Unless you know they need them, avoid the 'mistakenly classic' wedding gifts!
Have fun!
