In today’s world money is often a hot topic for conversation. Our financial stability has changed in our homes and our country. The majority of America, and the world for that matter, have had to make changes in their spending. We are trying to spend our money wisely, make every penny count, and give up some things to purchase others. So today it can be difficult when a birthday or other celebration comes up, because we know our budgets are tight. However, there are still ways to provide the perfect gift to someone without breaking the bank or looking cheap. Here are a few tips for saving money when buying gifts:
1. Buy from the sale section: When looking for the perfect gift, start in the clearance or sale section of the store or website. Often time items in these areas are not there because no one liked them; they are on sale because stores are overstocked. When a store orders 6 of an item and accidently receives 12, there is limited space and the products are put on sale to help make things less crowed.

2. Use coupons: Coupons are a great way to buy what you want, but save money while you do so. Clip coupons from the paper; search the internet for special deals, and sign up for email specials. Balloons By Mail sends out weekly or biweekly emails with specials on product and savings coupons. Mailing lists are not only great for savings but also provide inspiration of other great gift ideas.Sign up for the Balloons By Mail Email list for information on specials and coupons!
3. Send food: The common saying is “Food is the way to a person’s heart.” Giving the gift of food will not only satisfy the belly but also the soul. While, food is always a well appreciated gift, it is also typically less expensive than stuff. Choose from traditional and gourmet candies, salty treats, coffee, or soups from Balloons By Mail to make someone feel special on their special day.
4. Ship directly to the gift recipient: When ordering a gift on-line, instead of having the gift sent to you, send it to the true gift recipient. Shipping costs can be expensive if you personally receive the gift, wrap it, and then send it on to that special someone. Often times the shipping and handling you pay on a product is less than the actual cost, leaving the business to absorb the extra. Most online stores offer the item to be sent as a gift for a small fee, resulting in a nicely wrapped package and an invoice without the price. Balloons By Mail always packages and ships balloons and gifts decoratively. In addition to arranging and packaging the items neatly, Balloons By Mail will include gift messages and tags at no extra cost!
