I wish the holidays came with an endless gift budget so that we could just buy all of our friends and family the most fabulous gifts ever without having to worry about money! Wouldn’t that make shopping a blast?! But, the reality is, most of us have to be budget-conscious this time of year (I’m right there with you, girl). That’s why I’ve put together this guide filled with gifts under $50 that moms, sisters, girlfriends, galpals, and co-workers are sure to love!
**This post may contain affiliate links (which means I make a small commission when you shop from them) and sponsored items (gifted items are indicated with a [c/o] and sponsored links with an [sp]) because we all have to pay our bills, and I’d rather keep creating awesome content for you than get a real job. All opinions are my own.**
1.) Clear Toiletry Bag
This Onyx + Diamond Jetsetter Pouch [sp] from LE LÜXACE is a no-brainer for anyone that travels or anyone who loves to stay organized. It’s so much easier to find my go-to products while getting ready when I can see from outside where everything is in my makeup bag! Plus, the transparent vinyl makes for a seamless experience when going through airport security. Use code GEMS20 for 20% off your order until Thursday, December 20th at 12 pm EST!
2.) Comfort in a Bottle
Pure Placid‘s natural, eco-friendly, cruelty-free products are such high quality and inspired by the purity of nature. Thoughtfully designed to provoke tranquility, something like this cashmere sweater scented lotion [sp] will wrap her up in luxurious comfort for getting through the chilliest months!
3.) Statement Earrings
I seriously cannot believe these are only $38! From office to evening, you’ll catch here wearing ABLE’s effortless Echo Earring quite frequently after you add them to her jewelry collection.
4.) A Sweet Shirt
The donut lips tee I wore during New York Fashion Week ended up being one of my most popular looks ever! So, trust me when I say, women LOVE the sweet, statement-making shirts from Yummiewear like this figure-flattering Bite Me Tee [sp]. These run small, so when purchasing, order 1 size up.
5.) Something Playful
We all know women love clothes, but it’s hard to pick them out for someone else. Let me make a suggestion! This striped pom pom sleeve top from frankie + ash runs true to size and the shape is one of those that will look flattering on anyone, so you can trust she’ll love it! With its playful sleeves, she’ll reach for this time and time again on those days when she needs a little pick-me-up!
6.) Decorative Candle
While some say they’re over gifted, I don’t think you can go wrong giving a candle! I do, however, suggest you take it up a notch and find one that can double as decor like this embossed glass candle from Voluspa.
7.) Forever Flower
When I have a vase of flowers on my desk, it lifts my mood every time I glance over at them! This Venus ET Fleur Eternity Rose will make her just as happy as getting a bouquet, but it will last up to a year!
8.) Happiness Planner
For someone who has had a really rough 2018, the Happiness Planner makes a wonderfully thoughtful gift. They’ll appreciate the gentle nudges this planner gives to cultivate gratitude and reflect on the week.
9.) Waterbottle
This Rifle Paper Co Stainless Steel Canteen is beautiful and adventure-ready! It’s more than a water bottle – it’s an accessory!
10.) Ethical Jewelry
There’s nothing more heartfelt than when you find a gift that the recipient will adore that also improves the world in some way. Aid Through Trade has a beautiful mission to empower women artisans in Nepal through Fair Trade, which makes gifting something like The Wanderer Tassel necklace so impactful!
11.) Handmade clutch
For those that appreciate vegan fashion and animal-friendly brands, opt for something unique and useable like the “CarryMe” Сlutch bag from goodmoodmoon! I can’t get enough of this blush and olive color combo.
12.) Catch-All Tote Bag
The Original Deano Tote Bag from Scout can carry pretty much everything and with over 35 colors options, there’s a pattern for every personality!
13.) PixiGlow Cake
Pixi Beauty’s PixiGlow Cake [c/o] will be much appreciated by any beauty lover as this palette achieves a glowing, naturally healthy, radiant complexion!
14.) Key Finder
If you’ve ever frantically helped your girl look for her keys as she’s running late and needs to run out of the door, giving the Tile Pro Tracking Device would be a smart gift.
15.) Stay for breakfast
Ideal for the hostess or foodie, Stay for Breakfast offers recipes for every occasion to start the morning off right!
