It can be hard to find Christmas gifts for your friends and family when you’re strapped for cash. Here are a few gifts that will ensure you can still pay December’s rent.

Fuzzy Socks

Comfortable fuzzy socks are perfect for keeping one’s toes warm in the upcoming Michigan winter. Fleece-lined socks can be found at Target ranging from $2 to $10. Polka dots, loud colors, low cut or ankle high options provide you with a variety to choose from.

Nail Polish

Nail polish is a perfect go-to item to complete a look. Maybelline Nail Lacquer offers colors under $5. NYC In a NY Minute has polishes for only $1.99. Higher quality polishes, like OPI, run a little pricier but will last longer. These items can be found at Walgreens and CVS.

Cookies

Cookies are great, but not many people have the time to make them from scratch or even store-bought dough. Ordering your friends a surprise Insomnia Cookies delivery during finals week is a great gift idea, and shows that you’re thinking of them — just make sure to enter their phone number and location, not yours.

Ties

For a little more than $10, you can give a gift to your brother, dad or boyfriend to help them achieve a classier look. To find the cheapest ties, Amazon is the website to visit. Shoppers can find other inexpensive ties at Sears, JCPenney and other department stores .

Basketball

A guy (or girl!) in your life might love shooting hoops with friends. Since basketball season has presented itself, a basketball can be perfect for a cheap, yet thoughtful gift. It’s getting cold outside, but anyone with their own basketball won’t have to borrow one from IM Sports-West anymore when they go to play ball. These can be found at Dick’s Sporting Goods or Kmart.
