Budget friendly Gift Ideas For Family & Friends

Parents

When it comes to buying for parents, the thought is really what counts, many parents are happy to get a gift from their kids. 

 Here are some gorgeous inexpensive holiday season gift ideas for parents under $ 45

Silicon BPA free collapsible Salbree microwave popcorn maker, is an inexpensive Christmas gift idea.

Promising review: This thing is terrific! I used 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels, set for 3-1/2 min @1000 watts. 

There were ONLY TWO unpopped kernels when I finished eating the popcorn. I have never seen such efficiency in any product in the last 40 years. 

If I didn’t see it myself I would not believe it.
Subsequent testing: 1/4 cup of kernels, set for 2-1/2 to 3 min @ 1000 watts. Yields: 

Better popped corn, but with approx. 1/2 teaspoon of unpopped kernels. Most satisfactory. Still much better than most methods.

Gourmet Olive Oil set comes in four different flavors. 

Promising review: This product is amazingly delicious. Every flavor is an explosion on my palate. Better than every other olive oil I have tried . Great for entertaining also. – April .P

Customer review: I bought this for my brother agonist recovering from heart surgery…he absolutely loved it! I then purchased one for my antique 3/4 bed (bigger than a twin but smaller than a full).
