Cheapest Christmas gifts for 2022. Itās 12 days ātil Christmas and after two years of playing Santa, our Reserve Bankās been doing their Grinchy best to think up ways to stop Christmas from coming this year. š¹ So far thatās meant hiking interest rates and threatening to put us on the naughty list if we spend too much money on presents. But donāt let that stop the Christmas cheer. Instead, we might just need to plan on a little more thrift with the gifts this year. šļø
If youāre in Auckland, giving yourself a $60 membership to wholesaler Costco (COST) could help stretch the holiday budget a little further, especially when it comes to feeding the whole whÄnau. While youāre there, keep an eye out for one of the hottest toys this Chrissie: Squishmallows. š¤¦The quirky, pillow-like stuffed toys have gone from TikTok sensation (and Kim Kardashian obsession) to a Yuletide must-have. š Hey, itās been a tough year for all of usā¦Ā
Books can be thrifty gifties, especially when theyāre about money. Morgan Houselās The Psychology of Money will help get your head back in the game for the investing year ahead, while The Barefoot Investor Scott Papeās new book Barefoot Kids could be the gift that keeps on giving for our money savvy barefoot Kiwi tamariki. š¤

And if rain threatens, embrace getting wet ānā wild in a Nerf gun battle royale (HAS), š« or gather the fam to head indoors to watch Kiwi-made Avatar: The Way of the Water (DIS). That might also work for Santa this year too, because after a year of quiet quitting and embracing working remotely from Bali, it could be hard to find the elves to fill up his sleigh. š Ā
And because the Hatch newsroom runs on coffee and donuts, we know nothing says āfestive feelingā like a dozen gorgeous Christmas themed donuts from Krispy Kreme (DNUT), paired with a Starbucks (SBUX) seasonal Red Velvet Oatmilk Frappuccino in a holiday-themed Christmas cup. š„¤ Ho ho ho!Ā
