When the going gets tough, get playful. I guess that not exactly the way the old cliche goes, but it makes sense to me. Face it, we're in a recession, and everyone is feeling at least a little pinched. However, people still have birthdays; the year is still filled with those never-ending greeting card holidays, so can you really just forget about some of our most enjoyable cultural rituals?

When it comes to gift giving, maybe it's is time to alter a few of our attitudes about what makes a gift valuable. It's always been true, but now the economic conditions give us an extra reason to remember that the cost of a gift isn't what really matters. Giving a friend or loved one a token sends the message that you care about them and remember them during important occasions.. That is all that the message of giving means, and that it all that needs to be said in the act of giving.

So here is a tip for giving the frugal way: Think jewelry! I know that seems a bit contradictory, however what I am suggesting is Italian charm jewelry, and that truly is inexpensive giving at its most fun. An Italian charm bracelet is a kind of costume jewelry that is both fun and inexpensive. Let me explain.

If you have a friend who has a stainless steel Italian charm bracelet, you can add a whimsical Italian charm to her collection for well under five dollars. You might even have enough left from your five dollar bill to treat yourself to a small soda.

If she doesn't have any such jewelry, you can buy her an entire charm starter bracelet while only investing less than ten dollars. That's probably not even as much as a cup of coffee and a muffin at the corner coffee shop. Furthermore, that will give you an opportunity to build her collection for years to come.

What if your loved one is a guy? Try an Italian charm keychain. The starter keychain is around five to seven dollars, and you can add a humorous charm for a little extra cash, and you are finished with your shopping. When the economic recovery comes in a few months or a few years, you can splurge for a sports related charm endorsing his favorite professional basketball, football or hockey team, or even his beloved NASCAR driver..

Remember that you don't have to give up giving or a little whimsy when times get rough. In fact, you can turn tough times into fun times with a little thought, frugality and Italian charms.
