Let’s face it. We, as Americans, want to find ways to get the most effect from the minimal effort. It’s a harsh truth, and we probably won’t put in enough effort to face it.

But we value friendship. And the internet. And giving cheap gifts.

Here are some cute, cheap and easy internet gifts to send to friends. You know, for those days when they are having a tough go of it, and you want to put in as little effort as possible to show them that you love them. It’s cheap, y’all!

Seriously, though, we hope these are touching and thoughtful gifts to send your friends and family if they are having a bad week. Pay it forward, people.
