100 gift ideas for $50.00 and under
Still shopping for gifts? I have some awesome and affordable ideas for pretty much everyone in your life: a beauty junkie, a style-obsessed fashion lover, the guy, the homemaker and a book and movie addict.
FOR THE BEAUTY JUNKIE
A beauty lover is probably easiest person to shop for. There are so many fun and beautiful gift sets released during this time of year. I would recommend that you avoid buying things like foundation- unless you know the recipient’s exact shade. Eyeshadow palettes are always a great gift option, as are gift cards to places like Sephora or Ulta. When buying gifts, I love buying beauty products that I know that particular person doesn’t splurge for very often, like a high-end nail polish (Dior polishes are in my opinion about the only high-end polishes worth the price, they have an amazing formula and are very long lasting) or a cheek product like the cult Shimmer Brick from Bobbi Brown.

FOR HIM
I definitely love splurging quite a lot when in comes to buying a gift for my husband, but there are also lots of cool things you can get for all the men in your life for just $50.00 and under. My brother loves getting clothes and I think that holidays season is also a perfect excuse to buy some skincare products for your guy.

FOR THE HOME
Shopping for home decor and little kitchen gadgets is probably one of my favorite things to shop for. I also love receiving gifts of same nature- last Christmas my mom got me a huge, king size owl blanket, and I seriously still think that it was one of the best Christmas gifts I ever got- which my mom found hard to believe. I just love owls that much. :)
