Along with the annual Friendsgiving event, I always look forward to Christmas events with my friends- especially our little gift exchange. Sometimes we go to a restaurant, sometimes we exchange cookies at someone’s house. Either way, nothing beats quality time spent with friends and family during the holiday season.
For my gift exchange we draw names (I get vetoed for Dirty Santa every year) and try to stay under the $50 mark. This way we keep it affordable for everyone, but we can still gift our “Secret Santa” a nice, quality gift.
So I’ve put together a gift guide perfect for your mom, coworker, or bestie… All under $50!
++ For the girly girl, get her something metallic and sparkly- like these gold glitter coasters or metallic clutch.
++ For the phone case lover, surprise her with this python GiGi New York case.
++ Rollerball perfume is always a good option- Daisy Dream smells oh-so-fresh!
++ Any gift with a personal touch is a winner in my book- including these monogrammed Moscow mule mugs.
++ If all else fails, go with cute jewelry. You know I love me some Kendra Scott and these druzy earrings are a steal.
++ Every lady loves to add a new scarf to her collection and you can’t go wrong with faux fur.
++ These totes from Nordstrom have been all the rage- great quality, reversible, and include a little wristlet. All of that and under 50 bucks!
++ I have a slight huge obsession with Kate Spade- these polka dot glasses are just darling and this mini wallet would be perfect to throw in your clutch.
++ Watches can be pricey, but this one from Timex incorporates silver and gold… and doesn’t break the bank!
++ For the baking queen, treat her with this 3-piece kitchen set. The mint and polka dots are too cute to handle.
++A nice, luxiourious blanket always makes a great gift. This faux fur throw from Target is super soft and comes at a great price.
