The much awaited time of the year is just around the corner. As wonderful as it is, Christmas never fails to make people wonder of the best gift to give. Why exactly is finding the perfect present always a really big challenge? No doubt, you've probably asked someone dear to you, or someone has already asked you what you want to get. The answer is most likely you don't know yourself! Truth is, many of us really don't need anything to add to that pile of unused items at home only to store someplace just to forget or eventually become part of the clutter. Neither would anyone want to show up empty-handed, nor spend the holidays without getting any present! The ultimate solution? Give the gift of a non-stuff, practical and quite useful gift that will definitely be consumed and surely appreciated. Here are 20 Expendable Gift Ideas that will make your recipient remember you with a smile any time of the year.
