More and more people are getting laid off every day. Just about everybody either knows someone who’s lost their job or has been laid off themselves. Being unemployed can be a stressful time– so why not help your loved ones through this difficult period with a supportive gift? Here are a few gifts your unemployed friend may appreciate.
The Couponizer
Saving money becomes even more important when you’ve lost your source of income. Help your friend cut costs by taking up couponing. The Couponizer makes it fun and organized by giving you pockets for sorting, surfaces for stacking and tips for getting the most bang for your buck.
A Fun Book
Everyone needs some entertainment– especially when you’ve lost your job. Pick your unemployed friend up a copy of Bitter is the New Black by Jen Lancaster. It’s the confession of a condescending, egomaniacal, self-centered smart-ass or why you should never carry a Prada bag to the unemployment office.
Gift Certificates
Gift certificates can be a great way to give someone a little money without handing them plain old cash. Pick up a gift card for a restaurant, movie theater or store that your friend likes. They’ll appreciate the opportunity to spend money on something they may not normally be able to fit into the budget.
T-Shirt Graffiti Markers
Give your friend a creative outlet– or a chance to put their resume on a t-shirt. The t-shirt graffiti markers are just $12 at Urban Outfitters and could be worth hours of fun.
