Holiday Gift Guide: 30 Under $30

November 30, 2017

I don't know about you, but adulting has me balling on a budget this Christmas! I've put together a gift guide of the top 30 gift ideas under $30 perfect for everyone on your nice (or naughty—see kitchenware) list. I'm a firm believer that chic can still be cheap! Just because Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are over doesn't mean you can't snag some great products at great prices. 

When it comes to gifting, I'd rather give someone one thoughtful gift than a slew of presents they'll disregard and never use after Christmas. Below you'll find a few of my favorite things, broken down by category—Kitchenware, Home Goods, Beauty Buys, and Accessories! (Spoiler: I actually included 36 items. Merry Christmas!) 

KITCHENWARE

Getting a Starbucks gift card and cute mug from a friend never gets old, but did you know you could buy a grilled cheese griddle for under $30? Who doesn't love melted cheese? (In all honesty, I'm lactose intolerant... But would still LOVE to get that as a gift.) Everyone knows that the holidays mean lots of alcohol, so I picked the whiskey business flask (which comes in another saying as well!) for the pals on your naughty list. 

HOME GOODS

Another thing I LOVE getting for Christmas is home goods. I always felt like I was returning to a new apartment after Christmas break since my presents would always involve some cute home decor. My top pick from this list is the zodiac journal! In case you didn't know, I'm a VERY strong Aries personality (and feel the need to get every "Aries" thing I can get my hands on.) I was pretty surprised at the price on the letter board as well—It's from Target and SUCH a steal! These things can run pretty high in price.

BEAUTY BUYS

Bath, body, and beauty products are always a great choice for gift giving! I can't get enough of the multicolored soap rocks above. I mean seriously, who invented these? They're so weird. I must order. I also chose a great exfoliating scrub from Frank Body. I try to use only natural ingredients on my face and always exfoliate with coffee grounds! If you want to be more conservative in your gift giving this year, the Herbivore calm bath salts are a good choice. I received them as a stocking stuffer years ago and it was the perfect present. Everyone loves bath salts! 

ACCESSORIES

Yes, that is an LED fidget spinner iPhone case. And yes, yes, that little thing in the middle is a selfie glo lens for your phone or computer.. These fun accessories are perfect for those people who appreciate more "novel" prezzies and uncommon objects. I used to have the "I am busy" phone case in the top right, and got so many compliments I had to include it. I'm also loving the chic little keychain with the cheeky sayings. Must have! 

Great gifts DON'T have to be expensive! You can find tons of great gifts on ShopStyle and set a price range for easy shopping as well. Or, you can take a look at some of my other favorite gift guides this holiday season!

If you don't know what to buy them... Shop Dani Austin's Gift Guide for the Person Who Doesn't Want Anything!

If you're looking for stocking stuffers... Shop The Chan Chic's Girl's Guide to Stocking Stuffers. 

If you're shopping for a busy bee... Shop Hey Kailey Mae's "Go-Getter" Gift Guide.

I hope you enjoy my gift guide, and maybe order a few things for your family and friends this holiday season! Can't wait to hear back from you on Instagram about which you liked most... Happy shopping!

Choose wisely
My whole world
Like if u remember 💀💀💀 | I told myself 2018 would be the year of me doing what I wanted to be doing instead of me doing what I knew would make everyone comfortable and happy. Some loved my decisions, some hated my decisions, some questioned my decisions — I got to hear lots of opinions along the way 😉 But all in all I can say that this year has brought me some of the BEST memories, most WONDERFUL people and most importantly, a sense of S E L F that I’m 100% sure won’t be molded to fit into others’ expectations in 2019. 💁🏼‍♀️
