Any list that involves finds under $100 always catches my eye because it’s a hard category to fill! And if you have a long list of people you want to gift a little something, there’s a budget to keep in mind. When it comes to lower budget gifts, it’s all about presentation that can make it more exciting and special. Here are some ideas…
I have found Etsy to be a treasure trove for thoughtful finds that aren’t through the roof expensive. Small catch all dishes that have an artful look can be used in so many ways and feel special to whomever receives it. I just love these shell shaped ones and also found this vintage silver shell bowl that is only $20. Etsy has endless options for something personalized, how clever would these personalized matchbooks be with a candle? Makes the obvious beloved candle gift a bit more personal.
These beautiful puzzles are great as a gift around the holidays and you can combine it with other things that compliment that winter mode of staying in—maybe wrap alongside a Goop bath soak, a bottle of wine, candle or an embroidered scarf that looks far more expensive than the price tag. Socks with some slippers are a slam duck, we all know they’ll be used and loved! A friend got be these socks, just because, and they’re still my absolute favorites around the house.
Our kitchen during the holidays gets loads of traffic which makes it the first place I think of if I’m getting a gift for someone who entertains a lot. Simple things like beautiful dish towels, specialty olive oil (my personal favorite) or salt, a beautiful dish or elevated cleaning products (just discovered this brand and I’m obsessed!) are not only thoughtful but essential. And for those that want nothing to do with being in the kitchen a beautiful pair of earrings, a gorgeous enamel charm, this lip set or a sparkly phone case (Ossa New York cases is my number one gift for all my fashion friends, so many options!)
