I need to get some sort of gift for a friends birthday (who lives nearby) and for a kid of my extended family (lives further away).

Do you have any recommendations for gifts that go along with sorta frugal lifestyle? I can't think of anything right now (pressure is on, birthday 1 is tomorrow)

I'd say my method is more "cheap" than "frugal" but I'll usually coordinate with someone else (e.g. find out what they're getting as a gift) and then buy accessories for that gift. e.g. They buy a game, I buy the expansion pack.

One time I gave my nephew two 20 packs of AA batteries for all the toys everyone else got him 😆
