    Maybe clarify to your friends the situation you are in and be honest with them , im sure they will still want you there regardless of if you turn up with gifts or not. and if it upsets them, well they are not exactly a right friend afterall if all they want are the presents. You could make them a nice card with a nice verse inside which you can find what to say on the internet. I know i wouldnt mind if someone took the time to do that for me. Excellent Luck

    Start doing crafts or pick and choose who’s thing u go to or get a box and any time you have a few extra dollars look in the clearance departments and pick stuff up that might be able to use. i also set a limit 5 to ten bucks per gift. i make my cards by using index cards then stamps or stickers to use as a gift card.

    Even when your not invited to a wedding or baby shower or graduation, etc. be on the lookout for excellent deals. You can always find them when your not invited to something, but if you will get them when you see them, and place them up, you won’t have that problem when the invite comes.

    When I was in your situation, I just sent cards. I looked up quotations to handwrite onto the cards, and I added personal thoughts or other things to make them nicer. Walgreen’s has nice-looking blank cards at about $1.50/box of twelve, and dollar store sell specific-occasion cards at 2/$1.
    Send regrets (phone or write to say you’re sorry but you can’t be there) for the showers and for any other parties you can’t afford to attend. Remind yourself (and others if necessary) that gifts are never required or owed. It feels weird to send no gifts, but sometimes personal circumstances make it necessary. Depending whose party it is, clarify that your finances are too tight to allow you to attend. Most people know that situation nowadays.
    If possible, make offers to help such as doing behind-the-scenes work for some of those parties (you could help serve food or you could look after children during a wedding or shower, for example). That way, you’ll be with your family even though you can’t attend as guest.
    Try to keep cheerful about this. This stage will pass and one day you’ll be in better shape to afford to do more.

    Coupons as a gift can a excellent thought for you because there are sites online that offer discounted coupons on wide variety of choices. Such as this discounted travel coupons.
