If you are searching for the best inexpensive Christmas gifts of 2015, you are not alone. A recent survey reveals that Americans plan to spend an estimated $830 U.S. dollars on Christmas gifts this year. While that number is up significantly from the 2006 estimate of $616- you remember; the year the bottom dropped out of our economy, the 2015 estimate still represents American’s hesitation, or inability to spend. Unfortunately, when you have a lot of recipients on your holiday shopping list, $830 doesn’t really go that far. And if you are like me, and have seven kids, shopping for the best Christmas gifts gets even more challenging.
This year, I decided to put the majority of my Christmas shopping off until later in the season because, well I admit, my wallet wasn’t quite fat enough to allow for holiday shopping. I had hoped that my bank account would grow as the big day drew nearer, but we all know that just isn’t how it goes for most of us. With just three short weeks left to shop, approximately 20 people left to shop for, and only two Christmas presents hiding away in my special Christmas gift storage place, I decided I had better get busy. Not surprisingly, I came to ChristmasGifts.com to find the best inexpensive Christmas gifts and gift ideas for 2015. To save you a little bit of undue stress and exhausting legwork this holiday season, I’ll show you a few of my favorites.
