Financial difficulties during the holiday period are an excellent reason for depression. When you look at an empty wallet, you want only one thing - to run away somewhere far away and wait until all this fuss is over. Since this is most often impossible to do, choosing gifts when there is no money turns into a real torment. But still, to prevent this from happening, I recommend reading the article on the Sunny Hands website “Why you can’t save money.” On one of these wonderful days I decided to give up tedious shopping trips and see what I could order online. The search results shocked me to the core. I couldn’t even imagine that there are so many original, useful, and most importantly, inexpensive things in the world! It was from that moment that I became interested in the topic of gifts and found many interesting options for all occasions and for any budget. It turns out there are a lot of gift options when there is no money.
If your finances sing romances, I offer you 15 ideas, tested from my own experience, the implementation of which will require minimal costs - from 0 to 300 rubles.
- Photo collage. If you are looking for an answer to the question of what to give if you have no money, then this is one of the ideal answers. To make this gift, you will need Photoshop and a medium-sized frame. You can buy the cheapest one for 20-30 rubles, since all the “taste” will be in the picture. We load the image of the person being congratulated into the program and perform some metamorphoses with it. For example, you can “fulfill” a person’s dream (draw him in an expensive car, in the boss’s chair, etc.); send on a trip; exaggerate his style (just so that he doesn’t get offended). In general, it all depends on your imagination. Understanding how Photoshop works is quite simple; there is a lot of information on this issue on the Internet. For example, I painted my first masterpiece in just 5 minutes, and it was a great success. This was a gift for March 8th to my aunt, who dreams of losing weight. Read about what to give to relatives and friends on March 8th in the article at the link. I found an image on the Internet of a slender beauty walking along the beach, and I put my aunt’s head to it. Then I downloaded the file to a flash drive, went to a photo store and asked to print it. I also bought the frame there. The total price of the gift was about 80 rubles. Later, I often used this method when I wanted to surprise someone.
- Music disc. Also a great gift when you have no money. People who are very busy at work often cannot find time to burn a CD for their car. At least, I periodically hear similar complaints from my friends. If you have an empty blank, this gift won't cost you a penny. Record a collection of your favorite songs and give it as a gift. Believe me, you will be very grateful.We made such a disc once on February 23rd for young man my friend. For a long time he dreamed of “getting hold of” old French songs, but he kept postponing this matter until later. We recorded the most popular compositions, and to make the gift seem more original, we made an exclusive cover for the disc in Photoshop - we placed them a photo together against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower and wrote “With love from France.” The young man was very pleased and was in high spirits for several days. By the way, about what is best to give to men, read Rashid Kirranov’s article “What to give to a man” or watch his video.
This option is perfect for the older generation. A colleague once complained to me that she couldn’t choose a gift for her grandmother. She accepts household items without enthusiasm, refuses to take money and says that she doesn’t need anything at all. After quite a long brainstorming, I suggested recording old songs for her. There was an MP3 player in the house, and this idea was received with enthusiasm. We selected suitable compositions and made the cover in the style of the USSR. Since the grandmother was from the village, we placed her photograph against the backdrop of collective farmers harvesting their crops. This gift moved the old lady to tears, and she learned to use the newfangled record player with great enthusiasm.
- Vacuum cleaner for keyboard. Every computer user will be happy to receive this gadget as a gift. Personally, I gave it for a variety of holidays to people from 15 to 50 extra years, and he was always received with joy. The price of a vacuum cleaner is from 110 rubles.
A laptop fan is another useful device. Since it is shaped like a flower, it is most suitable for ladies. You can even hold it out instead of a bouquet, it turns out very funny. This gift can be purchased at a price of 70 rubles. There may be models with a different design, but I have not seen them. It was the flower fan that my brother liked when he was choosing a gift for a girl for Valentine’s Day, having only 200 rubles in his pocket. He decided to replace the bouquet with it, and bought a box of chocolates for the rest. Read about what you can give him to a girl at the link- Living landscape. A great gift when money is short. Changing pictures will be a great decoration for both your desktop and your home. home interior. Watching the metamorphoses taking place, you can relax and tune in to positive mood. I was once given a living landscape on March 8th, and it became one of my favorite gifts. Small pictures can be bought for 250-300 rubles, and I periodically give them to relatives and friends.
- Plate. Since giving mugs as gifts is trivial, one day I decided to replace them with plates. I unexpectedly needed to congratulate one girl on March 8th. The holiday budget was already exhausted, besides, the gift was needed immediately, and there was no way to order anything on the Internet. By inertia, I ran into the first dishware store I came across and began to study the assortment of mugs; nothing else came to my mind. But then I saw cute plates with vegetables on them. They cost only 120 rubles, and were also packaged in decent cardboard boxes. Best gift it was simply impossible to come up with. Beautiful, unusual and inexpensive. The girl liked the gift, and I still use this option from time to time.
- A pineapple. This exotic fruit is perfect for any festive table. You can buy it in almost any store for 150-200 rubles. Pineapple is the best option for unfamiliar people and emergency situations. He has helped me out more than once when I was short of time and money.
- A folding soft bucket is the best solution for practical older family members. Do your parents or grandparents have a dacha or like to go mushroom picking? They will definitely love the collapsible bucket. I advised my mother to give it to a friend who is very passionate about household chores and cannot imagine her life without a dacha. She was delighted with him. The price of a bucket is 300 rubles.
- Miracle plant. This cute gift will impress any girl and woman. It is a seed that needs to be planted in the ground and watered. After a few minutes, the plant will grow, and on one of its leaves there will be the inscription “I love you.” My brother gave this gift to his girlfriend on March 8th and she was very pleased. The price of a miracle plant is from 90 rubles.
- A paper holder is a great gift for people whose work involves documents. Online stores offer enough big choice of these gizmos with different designs at prices starting from 200 rubles. One day, my friend asked me to find a gift for her child's teacher. I ordered a holder in the shape of a man. IN greeting card we wrote the following: “May the little people you teach bring you only joy!”
- Emergency charging unit for a mobile phone. This device looks like a battery with a small wire and connector. Every person needs it and it can be given for absolutely any occasion. Internet price – 300 rubles. I once gave it to my husband for his birthday, he was pleased and still uses it to this day.
- Audiobooks. Due to lack of time, many of us have already forgotten the last time we read, although we love this activity. Audiobooks that you can listen to in the car or at home while doing household chores will help solve the problem. They will also be a wonderful gift for people with vision problems. Price – from 100 rubles. I gave audiobooks to both my parents and friends who spend a lot of time driving. The most important thing is to know exactly what interests them.
- Suitcase lock. This item will definitely appeal to travel lovers. Firstly, it will reduce the likelihood of property theft, and secondly, it will become an excellent distinctive sign, and the suitcase can be immediately noticed during baggage claim at the airport. Its price is 170 rubles. I gave these locks to all my traveling friends for the New Year. About how to celebrate New Year Houses, .
- Original passport cover. On the Internet you can find a huge number of options at a price of 200-250 rubles. For my brother who loves to tinker with his computer, I bought a Windows-themed My Documents cover; for a friend who periodically travels abroad - “Walking across Three Seas” for a foreign passport.
- Tabletop punching bag. This cool toy comes in various sizes. If large models are quite expensive, then small ones can be bought for 250-300 rubles. I have given them several times to colleagues and friends who are into sports or have a short temper. And we bought a large, luxurious copy for our boss’s birthday.
I offer you the following options:
Lack of money is not a reason for despair, but a great opportunity for creativity. After all these experiments, I made a very important conclusion for myself: people expect from us not so much expensive gifts, but rather attentive attitude and bright emotions. If we show that we are listening to their words, or put on a little show, then the price of the gift will not matter. And one more important point: If possible, do not leave choosing gifts until the last minute. Thanks to this, you can purchase the items you like at reasonable prices while they are still in stock.
It is also worth saying a few words about online shopping. Gifts in virtual stores are much cheaper than in regular stores, but we are often afraid that they will send us low-quality items. I solved this problem for myself as follows:
- Before placing an order, I try to find a similar item in a regular store and evaluate its quality. If it suits me, I make a purchase online.
- I order gifts only from stores that have been operating for a long time and have a good reputation.
- I try to choose online stores in my city. If problems arise, I can return the goods to the warehouse, and in most cases delivery is free.
I wish you a happy shopping and happy Holidays!
Sincerely, Irina Donskaya.
The ability to present yourself favorably is a bit of an art, especially when it comes to how you can surprise a girl without money. But the main thing here is to understand how to surprise a person, and not immediately equate the concepts of a girl and money. In this article I will tell you how to arrange romance without money.
How to entertain a girl without money?
In general, the ability to surprise the fair sex is half the success in seduction. However, often guys don’t believe in themselves and think that they need to come up with a really grandiose plan to make a girl happy without money, or it will inevitably result in serious expenses. However, as practice shows, it is not at all necessary to have serious financial capabilities in order to simply cause surprise. Moreover, sometimes you can surprise a girl without money without making much effort.But first, let's talk about the essence of surprise. After all, it may not be clear to you what to please yourself with when you have no money. In fact, a lot of things. And surprise arises solely due to the fact that the girl does not expect any non-standard move on your part. So, for example, I’ll tell you that a bouquet of roses on Women’s Day will not be a surprise for her, as such, a gift on this holiday will not surprise her at all, rather the absence of one will surprise her.
Moreover, simple bouquet Others may be offended by flowers, and therefore you need to surprise and delight on ordinary days. Of course, it is unlikely that my words will seem something new to anyone. It’s just that everyone knows this, but few people take advantage of such opportunities to make a good impression on their girlfriend. And romance without money is very possible.
Ways to pleasantly surprise a girl without money
- Choose an unusual place, invite her somewhere that is fashionable, cool and, as a rule, expensive. And where it is unusual and interesting, where people are rarely invited at all. This is especially useful when your relationship is still developing. For example, there is a beautiful lake in your area, but you have to get there. Or you found out about some unusual place that no one knows about. The Internet can help you. But never make an appointment in that exact place; it’s better to make a date near it, and then take the girl there yourself. This is one of the options for how to arrange romance for a girl without money. In addition, almost every person has a place or places where he likes to go. And if a girl is really interested in you, then you can take her there. For those couples who have been together for a long time, places associated with the past are considered romantic, for example, the place where they met, or places where they were very happy. Moreover, you need to choose the same scheme - make a date nearby, and then surprise your girlfriend. You can do something nice for your wife without money.
- The next way is to give the lady an interesting souvenir. Someone will immediately ask the question, what can you give a girl if you don’t have money? But a souvenir is a trinket that costs a penny. But how can you make your friend like her? Everything is individual here. Let’s say she calls you something affectionately, for example, “bunny” or “bear” - find such a souvenir, give it to her and tell her that you are giving her yourself in this way. Keep it, they say, and don’t lose it.
- The tracking option does not require any investment at all. It was noted that most Russian guys behave and speak quite similar, and sometimes even like a carbon copy. Apparently they have watched enough of the same films once, and they are copying a certain image of a real man. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that ladies sometimes want variety. Therefore, very often you can surprise a girl even with your original opinion and beliefs. And this is actually a good way to surprise a girl if you have no money. But it is relevant only when meeting. In general, almost every girl keeps a whole profile in her mind and asks all the guys the same standard questions. Therefore, if you start answering outside the box, not the way most guys do, it will surprise and interest her. And if you really have your own point of view on many things, then you shouldn’t hide it from the girl. After all, for most women, all men are really very similar to each other. And sometimes the reason for separation may be that the girl thought that she had met some unusual and interesting person. Although in fact this dude is no better than you at all, but she is more interested in him. It is possible that he knows very well how to make a romantic without money.
- Romantic dinner. This seemingly ordinary event is actually quite rare, and therefore your girlfriend will definitely be surprised. And if you’ve also learned how to cook a couple of dishes well, then such a surprise will definitely please her. This is an option on how to surprise a girl without money with your own hands. Such a surprise will cost much less than taking her to a cafe or restaurant. It’s not for nothing that they say that the best chefs are men. However, you should not focus on this and pamper her too often, otherwise it may happen that in your life together you'll have to cook.
Conclusion
As you can see, it is not at all necessary to have billions to please your lady of the heart. And those ladies who can only be “surprised” by diamonds and expensive yachts are simply spoiled by their men.If you follow this path, then even with a considerable thickness of your wallet, someday you will have suspicions that your relationship is between a seller and a buyer. And some girls are just chasing money, and therefore try to “sell” themselves as dearly as possible. I would advise you to avoid such beauties.
A normal girl you can surprise without money, even if you have it. You need to surprise her and show her your attention. Of course, you shouldn’t be a curmudgeon either. And if you have serious relationship, and such a gift will really bring her some benefit, this is exactly what she wanted, then why not. It is much better when the gifts are rare but memorable. And finally, about how to surprise a girl from a distance without money. There are also many ways, but you can start with the simplest thing - write her a real letter.

- Checkbook of wishes or such certificates. For example, 10 hikes with friends without a single reproach on your part. Or refusing to go to see your mother. There are a lot of examples on the Internet, imagine what you could offer. Or give blank certificates and let him write in what he wants, but be prepared that he will have to follow through.
- Massage. Of course, romantic. It would be nice - with massage oil, but in fact, you can take olive oil, drop aromatic into it, or flavor it with something else. Think about what you have at home and experiment with mixing ahead of time.
