Not every gift has to be new and from a traditional retailer.
Just as selling on Ebay and Craigslist is a good way to make some Christmas money, buying on those two sites is a good way to get more for the money you have! Each site is very easy for buyers to use.
You can surf the different “for sale” categories, find items you want to buy, and either bid on them or buy them. They are usually much cheaper than the price you would pay at a traditional retail store. Be sure to pay promptly on Ebay and pick up quickly on Craigslist, or you’ll find your items being sold to someone else!
Facebook is another new venue for buying Christmas gifts. Causes, such as adoptions and non-profit companies, often have auctions on Facebook to raise funds. You can find all sorts of items on these auctions, from services to toys and clothing. Get into a good Facebook group that tracks auctions and get bidding!
You can get inexpensive but personal Christmas gifts this way.
