What to get a frugal person for Christmas
Trent at the Simple Dollar has a good discussion going on “So, What Do You Want for Christmas?” – specifically, what to get a frugal person or frugal family for Christmas!
One of the commenters, Tradd, has an excellent idea:
I find that when buying gifts for frugal folks, it helps to keep in mind just WHY they’re frugal. Are they frugal out of sheer necessity (ie, do they make sacrifices for one parent to stay home with the kids, is there job loss/health issues, etc.?) or do they do it to be good stewards (ie, they make a comfortable living, but are still frugal?).
The frugal couple I’m buying for this Christmas are in the first category. They love good coffee and Starbucks, but there’s not much room for that in their budget right now. So I got them a bag of Starbucks coffee as well as a $15 Starbucks gift card (they like going for coffee as a date away from the kids).
