Now that Christmas is done and dusted it’s onto the next big event. New Years Eve, a time for spending your Christmas money on overpriced nights out, quadruple priced taxi fairs and hangover remedies the next day. However, if you want to avoid this (or just too skint!) Then check out some ideas to do New Years Eve on a budget.

Fireworks!

Most major cities will host their own fireworks celebration and they’re free. Usually in the city center, firework shows literally start your new year with a bang! Bring a thermos with you (or a hip flask) and soak in the gorgeous colours while pondering what you want to bring to next year.

Throw a party

Stay in, invite some friends around and have a cheap night full of fun and games! Would you rather wait for your favourite song to come on in a busy club or be the master of your music?

Create a punch bowl, set up a snack station and bring in the New Year with all your best people!

Have a movie night

Instead of braving the cold, why not stay in and get cuddly in the warmth and watch one of your favourite movies. If you’ve got a loved one, cosy up and have a cute night together seeing in 2019…ahhh cute!

Just… don’t drink!

The biggest cost for every New Years Eve celebrations is booze! So, instead of necking shots and downing pints, why not save most of your money by doing any one of the above (or even going out) and not drink.

Think of how refreshed you will feel waking up to a new year with a clear mind to really plan what’s going to happen next year.
