Money is tight for nearly everyone this year — but if you think creatively, you can give some pretty cool holiday gifts without spending a whole lot.
I found a fun website 
that can help you organize your gift-giving process, and offers some cool ideas for "alternative" gifts as well.
A couple of my favorites that they suggested were a compilation CD or a special photo, enlarged and framed — both items are always inexpensive, but very personal and fun to get.
Use your imagination and you're bound to come up with something affordable, yet meaningful for a special loved one. My stepdaughter once made an updated version of a "World's Best Dad" plaque that she'd originally created when she was about five. The new version is really cute and very sentimental — it was definitely a hit with her dad. And it hardly cost her a thing.
If you don't see a lot of your extended family these days, try giving the gift of special time with you. Take your aunt pottery painting , or invite your uncle to a basketball game at your school after winter break is over. Wrap up a nice-looking coupon to open, and be sure to be specific about time and place, so you actually follow through.
There are other great ideas for I-O-U coupons on the site as well. Check it out and save yourself some cash.
