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.
1. Subscriptions
Great gift that lasts all year round, whether for a magazine, TV, online shows, club, foodie, and more.

2. Event Tickets
Entrance to a theater, play, sports arena, concert, gallery, or opera if you have the budget.
3. Annual or Single Passes
Valuable gift especially when you get at a discounted rate, including passes for the museum, science center, zoo, local attractions and theme parks.
4. Experiences
Give a gift certificate to a spa, an all-expense paid grand tour or a cruise, or a simple picnic or drive in the country.
5. Services
Give your expertise in an excellent massage, car washing, yard work, house cleaning, manicure, babysitting, photography, or whatever you're good at, for free!
6. Clothing
Not just another addition to the closet, but one you have sewn yourself, a uniform for an upcoming dance or karate class, or a coat to keep warm this winter.
7. Crafts
DIY lover or not, people love handmade thoughtful gifts. Unleash your creativity and make a masterpiece.
8. Life's Lessons
Impart your knowledge and teach something you know to enhance the skills of others who can benefit from it.
9. Dine Out
Go out to dinner or make a special lunch date or dinner right in your cozy home. What matters most is you make your recepient feel truly special.
10. Food
Create your own gift hamper, cook your specialty dish, or bake a delicious cake.
11. Memberships
Pay for your partner's, family member or friend's membership for his or her favorite hobby or passion in life.
12. Activity Ideas
Buy kits, collect printables, or schedule a day trip that the whole family, kids, and the young at heart will enjoy.
13. Flowers and Plants
The freshest and most fragrant petals can brighten anyone's day. The best part is if you've got a garden of your own to simply pick and arrange yourself. Pots and plants can go in the garden or as home decors which benefit everyone and the environment.
14. Gift Cards
Give the freedom to choose what they want, when they finally decide what it is, and whenever they want it.
15. Personal Care, Grooming, or Beauty Products
Give what you know they already use or new ones you just know they'd love to try!
16. Calendar
Planners, diaries, and calendars may seem common, but the most practical, helpful, and useful every single day of the year.
17. Home Wares and Everyday Essentials
Though not the most exciting gift, there's a reason why mugs, glasses, towels and things of the same sort are gifted again and again - because they are super useful.
18. Donate to the less fortunate
The perfect gift for the person who has everything may be donating on their behalf without any effort, and of course, if you deem it will be a gesture that will be appreciated.
19. Time
No money involved, but entails your most precious time. Spend time with the people you love and care for, before time runs out. Get yourself a watch or someone you love as a reminder, and to stay on top of your priorities.
20. Tools
Not just the handyman type, but sewing, sports, kitchen, hobby, crafts, and anything they might need.
