What Christmas gift can I get for a family member who just got laid off?
February 27, 2010 | In: Christmas Gifts
I’m 18 and only have around $10-$15 to get my uncle who just got laid off this week. My aunt can’t work because of a medical condition and instead of getting them a knick knack for Christmas, I want to get them something that would be beneficial to them. Also, I don’t want to get them something stupid like laundry detergent for Christmas, know what I mean? Does anyone have suggestions for a thoughtful and helpful Christmas gift?

Make them a small gift basket of food items…
Just give a Walmart gift card that can be used for groceries
A gas card is always useful.

Instead of just spending money on them, try looking around for jobs that are in your uncle’s field of expertise. type up a list and give it to them.

Socks, gloves and a hat, a snow shovel, everyday clothes like a t-shirt or you might ask your aunt what he needs and get him something from there.

A gift card would probably be best. This way he can spend the $15 dollars on something he really needs. If you want to get him a real present you can always go with something weather appropriate, like nice gloves or a hat & scarf set.

I go to a departmet store or dollar store every year and i pick out two mugs and a set of matching plates. Everyone loves them especially if you put in a christmas card that says something really nice.
