Tis the season to be spending…graduations, weddings, showers, etc. If you are like me, you’ll hunt up a good deal for these occasions to keep costs reasonable. When I need a gift, I check out the bridal registry and take my list to my local discount store, Target or in our area Meijer. Wal-mart is an option also. I can find really nice, quality products and I don’t pay more than $10.
In this article, You’ll find a list of at least 50 different gifts that you can give that will cost you under $10. These are nice, practical and functional items that every couple will need in any living situation. Don’t worry about duplication; the happy couple will need and use all of these items. Many items just don’t last all that long or are items of which you need several.
$10 is the regular price for each item; if you use coupons and watch for sales, you may get better prices. Each item is listed with the store chain(s) at which I saw it sold under $10. T-Target, W-Walmart, FD – Family Dollar, DG – Dollar General, M – Meijer, K – Kohl’s, S – Sears

Look for sales and in the clearance section, also. Many stores will put close-outs or items that were initially overpriced here and you will find some bargains at 50-75% off. Check the after season sales also!
I treasure my wedding gifts (after 20 years not many are left!). I believe all women should be thrown another bridal shower at 20 years!
