The Ultimate Gift Guide: 30 gifts under $30

Sunday, December 3, 2017

It is officially December, which means I am in full Christmas mode! YAY! Oh my goodness, this time of the year is the absolute greatest. There are so many wonderful things in store for the days ahead. One of the most special parts of Christmastime for me is that it is the season of gift giving. I love spreading cheer by finding my friends and family something special that I know they will like. Gift giving is definitely not the focus of the season, but I think it is the perfect way to remind your friends and family that they are awesome!! Last year I did a gift guide featuring 25 gifts under $25... but of course I had to change things up just a wee bit, so today, I've brought you 30 gift ideas under $30. 
 p.s. they're organized from lowest to highest in price so feel free to scroll around;)


No.1: Red Bubble Stickers


Anne, are you crazy?! A sticker? What?
Friends, stickers are the absolute cutest. Red Bubble has the best options ever. No joke!! You can search any movie, tv show, college, or quote... I guarantee they have a sticker for it. Stick them on laptop cases (ex: here), water bottles (ex: here), or whatever you want! Earlier this year, I gave my friend a lap desk with Red Bubble stickers on it (click here to get a better idea of it). Get creative!! These can turn into such a fun & thoughtful gift!

Pictures are my love language! There's something about looking through pictures in person & not through a screen that I absolutely adore! Artifact Uprising has the perfect, unique prints.
