Although extravagant gifts can impress people, it's the thoughtful gifts that will warm the heart and make a lasting impression. Presents that obviously show a lot of thought and care don't have to cost an arm and a leg; here are several affordable items that are sure to put a smile on the recipient's face.

Instead of buying a present, gift yourself and your friend with a pair of tickets to an concert, museum, the zoo, or any other fun event you can enjoy together.
Surprise your friend with fresh baked macaroons (check out this recipe on POPSUGAR Food) or another one of their favorite recipes.
If there's a charity the recipient is passionate about, give them a gift card so they can choose their cause.
