Girl on a Budget Gifting Guide

December 05, 2014

This time of year I always find myself wanting to get my friends or coworkers cute gifts that I know they'll enjoy, without having to break the budget. Since that's easier said than done, I thought I'd put together a gifting guide with some of my favorite items! I would love to receive any of these from friends or even as stocking stuffers from my hubby! The prices range from $5-$38, but they don't have to know that ;) 

Girl on a Budget Gifting Guide




(Pictured left to right. All products Linked above)

1. Scarf- You have to be hiding under rock not to notice the popularity of the plaid scarf this season. Keep your friend on trend and snatch up this adorable option at Target for only $17.00.

2. Teacup- I love this darling little teacup from Anthropologie. The best part? It can double as a jewelry bowl on her nightstand or vanity and it's only $12.00.

3. Gold Stud Earrings- These little square studs from LOFT are the perfect little accessory. They are simple and will match everything in her closet. Currently priced at $15.00, but look out for sales!
*Since I wrote this post, these little suckers have sold out! Here is an identical option, but with rhinestones, priced at $24.50. Keep a look out for a sale!

4. Royal Apothic Lip Tintie- How cute is this packaging!! I found this lip balm at Anthropologie a few weeks ago and it was love at first sight. It comes in a few different shades, all with a slight tint, making the colors perfect for any skin tone. Priced at $14.00.

5. Rifle Paper Co. Lucere Floral iPhone 6 Case- Rifle Paper Co. always carries the most darling little accessories, and this iPhone case is no exception. This darling case is the most splurgey item on my list priced at $38.00.

6. Socks- You can never have too many cute socks! These polka dot knee high socks are the perfect accessory to layer under her winter boots or to lounge in by the fire. They are currently on sale at LOFT for $5.00. I'll take 3. :)

7. Smith's Rosebud Salve- I love lip balm so much, I just had to include 3 on this list! This rosebud salve is a minty every so slightly tinted balm that she can easily throw in her purse or coat pocket for on-the-go moisturizing. You can pick it up year round at Anthropologie for $6.00.

8. Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment- I adore all of the Fresh Sugar lip treatments, but when I saw this one in Plum, I knew we'd be friends. The Plum shade adds the perfect amount of color to my lips, without looking over done. Bonus? It has SPH 15! You can pick it up for your BF at Sephora for $23.00.

9. Golden Monogram Mug- I love these limited edition holiday mugs from Anthropologie! I mean, seriously, it's a cream and gold mug with a monogram! Enough said. It could be her morning coffee buddy, or a home to her makeup brushes. For just $10.00, this is a fantastic personalized gift for anyone on your list.

10. First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream- This is hands down my favorite facial moisturizer. It is safe for sensitive skin and is formulated without Parabens, Sulfates, or Phthalates. Not only does it zap dry skin overnight, something about it's creamy texture makes it feel luxurious on your skin. You can find this moisturizer at Sephora for $28.00.

11. Nail Polish- Nail polish is the gift that keeps on giving. I chose the color "In the Cable Car Pool lane" by OPI (via Ulta). It's a gorgeous Fall color that will take her nails right into winter. Word to the wise, if you're going to gift nail polish, pick a good quality brand. It makes all the difference and your friend and budget will thank you at just $9.50.
