With the holidays just around the corner, I thought I would bring back this post regarding gift baskets. They are a frugal way to provide a great gift for someone. Here are a few more ideas:
For her. Gather all of the random lotion, perfume, shampoo, coffee, tea etc samples that are hanging out around your house. Add in an inexpensive bottle of nail polish and treat someone to a great girls night in.
For him. Back to the samples - gather some of the food samples add in a gift card for a movie rental and you have a great guys night in.
New business: If you have a friend who is hanging out their shingle, give them a starter basket full of office supplies. By watching deals at Staples, Office Max, and other office supply stores you can pick up inexpensive office supplies for next to nothing. Feel free to add in some of your coupons to those stores too. I like to house all of this in a nice trash can or desk organizer.

For a family gift:
Give popcorn, candy (bought on clearance), hot chocolate, and an inexpensive movie or a game. Before Christmas, many games go on sale for very little.
This is also a great newylwed gift.
