…I know the title sounds like some clickbait crap, but I’m honestly looking for some ideas that I might not have thought about myself.

I save the butcher paper that comes in a lot of the packages I order, and use that + twine to wrap things. It can look cute and old school and saves a bunch on buying wrapping paper (I also try and buy that on massive clearance after Christmas, and if I can get more generic or even just winter themed paper I’ll angle for that to use for birthday gifts later in the year)
Initially I thought this was a “vacation-related” tips request, then I remembered Lemmy is mainly US English not UK English. You can buy a pyrography set, an engraving tool some sandpaper and the things needed for acid etching for less than $10 With a little practice you can make a cheap gift more personal by adding the recipients name or a message personal to you both on wood plastic, metal or glass. I used some vinegar, a q-tip, 9v battery, electrical tape, salt and copper wire to acid etching a hunting knife last year as a gift.
