To give & receive! I'm lucky to have a friends that know how to party! Not just a holiday party, but a back to school party, a Kentucky Derby party, a favorite things party, a Thanksgiving party, you name it! These would also work for a hard to buy for boss. Every gift idea listed is under $50 -- many under $25!
1 | A luxurious blanket -- my favorite! I like to chose a neutral color, but there are tons to chose from.
2 | These are two of my favorite wine chillers/decorative coasters.
3 | Kate Spade glitter stud earrings -- again, my favorite earrings!
4 | Happy New Year champagne -- gifting a New Year's gift in December is perfect! I also love their glitter bottles! This one can be personalized, which would be an extra special gift for someone you had to spend the holidays with over FaceTime!
5 | Nest handsoap -- you can't go wrong with any of their scents! Plus, everyone uses hand soap -- especially this year! You can also pair it with a favorite hand towel if you want a little something extra.
6 | Perfect gifts for a traveler -- a leather bag tag or a key ring. I have both of these and love them!
7 | Super soft {& cute!} slippers!
8 | I love to gift practical things {or consumables!} These are my favorites -- the water glass that I use every day at work, my favorite water bottle to take in the car, and the best can holder for boating. We obviously take hydration very seriously at our house! :) It's fun to pair these gifts with some La Croix or a bottle of Perrier.
9 | A beautiful coffee mug {for under $15!} -- you could add a giftcard of fresh roasted beans from your local coffee shop if you wanted a little 'more'
10 | My favorite candles! -- the hexagon and the jewel box both come in Volcano scent. If you wanted a little extra, I highly recommend the flameless, rechargeable USB candle lighter!
11 | My favorite tote bag ever, it's collapsible & so versatile {I use it as my work bag, my 'returns' bag, my reusable grocery bag, my take towels to the boat bag, you get the idea...} Also, all of my coworkers are getting this as a gift this year! I also love the Picnic tote which can be personalized!
And when all else fails, take a nice bouquet of fresh flowers from your local flower shop. You can't go wrong! :)
What is your favorite gift you've ever received? I would love to know!
