Happy (almost) Holidays! This year, it seems like everyone is feeling a little stuck in the gift department. While making holiday wish lists is a great way to ensure everyone gets something they like, it seems no one knows what they want to ask for this holiday season. I am struggling with this myself. I’m not sure if it’s because we’re getting older or because everything is so expensive right now, but when my loved ones asked what I wanted for Christmas, my mind went blank. If you also feel this way, no fear! I have compiled a list of a few popular items that won’t break the bank!
- Sephora gift sets: Sephora offers some great deals for their gift sets. It’s a great way to try new things without committing to buying a full-sized product. You can choose from sets that are under $50, $25, and even $10!
- Ribbon for hair bows and other accessories: This winter, a big trend is tying ribbons in your hair! This can be a super inexpensive and fun gift. Ribbon is less than $10 at craft stores or big box stores like Walmart. You could even get a few different colors!
- Perfume: Everyone likes smelling nice, but perfume can be really expensive. Sites like Dossier sell expensive perfume dupes for brands like Gucci and Chanel for around $25! They also have sales all the time.
- Digital Camera: Digital cameras are all the rage right now, but they can get really pricey. I have found a few on Amazon for around $30 that have great reviews! This way, you can enjoy the trend without hurting your bank account.
- Redbubble Stickers: As someone who loves covering my computer and my water bottles with stickers, I love Redbubble. They have stickers of literally anything you could think of! They also have great deals, providing discounts for every five or ten stickers you buy.
