Hey Gang!
I hope everyone is doing well!
I took most of last week off from posting because I’ve been dealing with a few health issues that I plan on posting about in a few days. So before I get into all that, I have been working on some holiday gift guides and today I am sharing my top picks for gifts $30 and under!
I know Thanksgiving has not even happened yet, but since it’s kind of late this year, there isn’t THAT long to shop! Plus, a lot of really great sales are already going on so I figured I might as well post a gift guide now!
$30 is usually around the price that you spend on a friend, relative, (or for those pesky Yankee Swaps that people guilt you into participating in lol) so everything in this gift guide is either $30 or under!
So let’s get into it!
1. Candles!
Bath & Body Works 3-Wick Candle in Marshmallow Fireside $24, but there is always a better sale or coupon!
Anthropologie Capri Blue Mini Jar Candle $14 – now 20% off!
Bath & Body Works 3-Wick Candle in Winter $24, but there is always a better sale or coupon!
Candles are always a great gift because who really likes spending their own money on unnecessary scents for their home?! I feel like sometimes people think gifting candles is boring or lame, but honestly you shouldn’t feel this way at all! The gift recipient should be happy getting a candle because now their home smells fragrant and they spent ZERO on it! Win-Win! Plus, these three that I’ve linked all double as cute home decor!
2. Sparkly Pouch
Madewell Sparkle Pouch $29.50 – but now 25% off! in Rainbow Sparkle
Madewell Sparkle Pouch in Pink, Gold, & Silver Sparkle at Nordstrom
Small wallets and accessories are always a safe bet when it comes to gifting and this little sparkly pouch is just too adorable! Perfect for the “extra” person in your life to stash a few cards and cash and be on their merry little way!
3. Cozy Hats
Marcus Adler Hats Regularly $32, now on sale for $16!
When it comes to thinking of reasonably priced gifts, if you live in a chillier climate then wintertime accessories are always a good idea! These chunky knit hats from Macy’s come in a variety of colors so your sure to find one the perfect one to gift.
4. Slippers!
Women’s Bp. Sophie Criss Cross Plush Bedroom Slipper $29.95
Give the gift of being cozy! I don’t know about you, but I’m sooo happy to receive slippers as a gift! The second I walk into my house I immediately throw off my shoes and throw on slippers, so I can really never have too many pairs – but enough about me!
In general, I think most people appreciate a pair of cozy slippers and I ordered this same pair of slippers last Christmas and they were my fav pair all year. They are totally worn out now with holes on the bottom and the stitching is falling apart on the straps, but they’ve lasted all of this constant wear all year for just $30! I highly recommend these and they come in 5 different colors!
5. Cute Drink Cups
Kate Spade Striped Tumbler $18
Cups like this are great as swap gifts, because everyone uses a cup! 😂 These two are both from Kate Spade who makes some of the cutest insulated cups around. Simply fill the cup with candy or maybe a few k-cups for an easy swap gift!
6. Nail Polish Gift Set
Hello Kitty OPI Nail Polish Set Regularly $30, but now only $17.99 at JCPenney!
The gift of beauty is always appreciated and this nail polish gift set is a great deal for 10 nail polishes! It’s in stock at a few different stores, but I think JCPenney has the cheapest price currently!
7. Fun Jewelry
Sugarfix by Baublebar Earring Set $20
In this case, I’m linking a cute set of earrings from Target’s line with Baublebar, SugarFix. Costume jewelry is almost always a safe bet as a gift, as long as you know the gift recipient well enough to know their basic personal style.
8. A New Tee
Madewell Tee $19.50, now 25% off!
In this case you need to know who you are gifting well enough to know their t-shirt size. This is definitely a gift for someone you know well, and someone who appreciates a good tee! I’ve gone through a lot of T-shirts in my 34 years and this Madewell one is my current favorite. It’s held up very well through a lot of washes and has kept it’s shape! Available in a variety of colors.
9. A Wine Bottle Sweater
Knit Wine Bag $19.99, now on sale or $7.49!
LC by Lauren Conrad line available at Kohl’s consistently has some great pieces! I especially like that she branched out into a home decor line and this bottle sweater is the perfect touch for turning a simple bottle of wine into a cute gift!
10. Butter Socks
Women’s Nordstrom Butter Crew Socks $12 or 3/$10 also here
So we all know about cozy socks and how fabulous they are. But like most things in life, not all cozy socks are created equal!
The ones for $1 are alright for $1, but THESE butter socks from Nordstrom are eons better! They are super soft and hold up so well. I ordered one pair last year and I wore them nearly every single day in the winter months and they are still in great shape and are still so soft! I currently have to wear them with my ratty old slippers (see item #4!) because the straps on the slippers are falling apart and were cutting into my foot, so I now need to wear socks with the slippers! 😝
Suffice it to say, that these butter socks are awesome and would be a fabulous little gift!
11. Monogrammed Journal
Anthropologie Monogram Journal & Pen Set $24
For the organized little do-gooder in your life, this gold monogrammed journal with matching pen is sure to be the perfect little present. I’d also add a set of colorful Flair pens for fun and consider the gift done!
12. Sweet Dreams Gift Set
Bath & Body Works Sweet Dreams Gift Set $22.50
Aren’t gift sets just the best?! A whole curated little box filled with delightful goodies just makes me smile so much!
Beauty gift sets are especially great and especially one that is meant to help you get your best sleep possible! I own the lavender pillow spray from Bath & Body Works and I find it to be very calming and think it really does help me to fall asleep quick! I’m certain this set would make a fabulous gift for anyone looking for a more restful night’s sleep!
13. Hair Care Gift Set
Target Hair Care Gift Set $14.99
Everyone loves to have a good hair day! This salon favorites hair care set from Target is a great value with 9 products for $15!
There you have it! 13 different gifts for under $30 and a lot are way under $30! I hope you enjoyed this gift guide and that it helps make your holiday shopping a little easier. Let me know what you think and which picks are gifts that you would want!
