Instead, focus on ways that you can give items that are inexpensive, personal, and eco-friendly to some degree. My son was delighted with the used sewing machine my mother bought for him. For years, my son happily used the scarf I knitted for him. Remember that a thoughtful gift doesn’t have to be expensive. Buy Vintage.

My son’s Mother-in-law worked from home for many years transcribing medical notes for several doctors. My son, who is a web programmer, earns extra money via side jobs. When we had a cat, I often wished there was a good, inexpensive alternative to taking the cat to the pet boarder. Medical transcriptionists.

We rented our son’s alto saxophone while he took lessons in high school. Later we went ahead and bought it from the shop – but that wasn’t a very inexpensive solution! Musical instrument exchanges – some sites let owners list and buyers browse used instrument sales. Just search on exchange musical instruments.

Our son is 29 and biological. Part of the appeal of the area in which we live is that there are plenty of inexpensive opportunities for outdoor recreation.
