| Don't Break the Bank: Holiday Gift Ideas By: Shannon Southerland It’s that time of year again. The holidays are right around the corner, and suddenly you’ve got a long list of gifts to purchase for family and friends. To help you keep your spending in check, AMG has a few fun ideas that won’t leave you broke. First, the holidays are a great opportunity to really show your parents that you appreciate everything they do for you. A beautiful and sentimental gift for your mom is the Make-A- Wish Star Ornament, available at www.thingsremembered.com for $19.99. Not only can you have a personal message engraved on the ornament, but it’s also a gift that keeps giving. Two dollars of each purchase is donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, so your shopping will help someone else have a happy holiday. Remind your father of his youth with the Cassette Tape USB port, available at www.vat19.com for $22.95. This innovative gadget plugs into the computer and provides an extra four USB ports, but at the same time comes in the fun, classic form of a cassette tape. It’s a perfect gift for the computer-loving dad who often starts his stories with “when I was your age…” Want to give your boyfriend something personal and heartfelt this year? You can customize a T-shirt for him (go to zazzle.com), and he’ll remember you every time he wears it. The site allows you to pick the shirt color, add your own text, and even upload images from your computer, starting at just $12.95. Be creative! This is also a great option for your brother or friends. Stuck on what to get your best friend forever? A great gift is one that reminds her of the fun you’ve had together. The Mix Tape USB Stick, available at www.moderntribe.com for $20.00, is a gift that updates the classic mixtape. The USB stick allows you to choose the perfect playlist with all your favorite songs from homecoming dances or pajama parties. It even comes in a cassette tape case and can be used on any computer. It's a classic and personal gift that never goes out of style. Gifts don’t have to be expensive or elaborate. The greatest gifts are those that are thoughtful and personal and show the recipient that you care. The best part about these present possibilities? Your wallet is happy too.
