Buying Christmas presents for everyone can add up to be an expensive burden. When you factor in how many people you have in your family with the number of friends and associates you have, your Christmas bill can easily top the amount you pay in bills each month. Finding cheap Christmas presents that are still useful for the men in your life will help reduce the amount of money you spend. - When thinking of a cheap present idea for a man, you cannot go wrong with shaving accessories. A good quality set of clippers is probably going to be above and beyond your budget for a cheap gift, so stick with the other accessories such as replacement blades or a carrying case for the actual clippers. You can also purchase some disposable razors for him to have as a backup plan in case the clippers that he already has breaks. You can also purchase tweezers or shaving cream, aftershave lotion and razor bump lotions.
- Buying a nice scented cologne does not have to be an expensive gift. You can find some name-brand, nice-smelling male cologne fragrances for as little as $20 as long as you do not purchase the largest size bottle they have. If you want to do more than purchasing the smallest bottle of nice cologne, you can purchase a scented lotion that matches the cologne he already has. Chances are that if he does have lotion, it is not scented, so purchasing lotion that matches the scent he already wears is only a complement and is not nearly as expensive as the cologne itself.
- If he is a foodie, and even if he's not, you can make him his favorite cookies, cupcakes or dessert. Whichever type of dessert you decide to make, you can add a special message with frosting that says "Merry Christmas."
If you are not a good baker and the dessert you make may feel like an actual punishment, consider making a personal coupon book, drawing or scrapbook. Depending on your relationship with him (husband, boyfriend, father, grandfather or friend), you can simply make a coupon book for free hugs, kisses, car washes or something that you know he loves. For the drawing, if you are artistic, you can draw a picture of him by himself, you and him together or him and his family.
If you have a close relationship with him, you probably have pictures and other sentimental knickknacks to put in a scrapbook. Make a scrapbook from the day the two of you met up to the present.
