Last Minute Holiday Financial Gifts

Updated: January 7, 2009
If you`re still working on your holiday gift list, consider the following ideas as gifts for the money makers in your life! These gift ideas, brought to us by Busey Bank`s Susan Abbott, are great for all ages and stages and for gift giving occasions all year long: 1. For the person who already has everything, those who enjoy paper crafts, or the kid in your life (whatever their age), how about the book Paper Airplanes with Dollar Bills; Another Way to Throw Your Money Away. 2. For those who are counting their pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters, an automatic coin sorter fits the bill. This gift is fast and fun, and sorts, stacks and delivers your coins right into their own coin tube. 3. A personal paper shredder is an excellent gift for everyone on your list. The trash bin is a gold mine for identity thieves, so buy a paper shredder and encourage your loved one to use it when disposing of documents that contain any personal information, from your address to credit card numbers. 4. Here`s a gift that`s appropriate for all money makers, college students, young families just starting out, and even those of us who just need to get back on track. In the book Money for Life Budgeting Success and Financial Fitness in Just 12 Weeks, Ryan and Christine Richardson learn valuable lessons about the principles, tools and steps necessary to successfully achieve personal financial fitness. The companion piece Money for Life Success Planner presents the same 12 week financial fitness program to reach financial objectives; a program that makes the journey to financial security more manageable, predictable and even enjoyable.
