Money might not grow on trees, but budget-friendly gifting helps you fake it till you make it.

	Green Thumb This winter, brighten a friend’s dreary small space with a lively shrub in a Good Erdle Elliot modular planter ($24).

	Tri Again A stocking stuffed with a Baggu key chain ($16) unburdens your nearest and dearest from  conventionality.
	Starry Eyed Crafty pals can pass the time trapped inside with a 2013 Stitch the Stars calendar kit ($24). Glow-in-the-dark thread adds to the DIY satisfaction.
	Degrees of Separation In lieu of your own body warmth, gift him a hot water bottle ($25) to snuggle with on dark, snowy nights.
