under $25 gifts & stocking stuffers!

I recently polled you gals on Instagram for what holiday content you wanted to see (in addition to what has already been here on the blog) and by far the most overwhelming response was under $25 gifts and stocking stuffers.  These are the gifts for teachers, babysitters, girlfriends at the annual gift exchange, stocking stuffers for the ladies in our lives and in general BUDGET friendly pieces that also double as AWESOME GIFTS.  I would be the very glad recipient of any of these thoughtful gifts.

First we have the absolute NO BRAINERS.  A warm pom pom hat, a cozy scarf, a beautiful monogram ornament, soft as "butter" socks and a monogramed journal all make for easy gifts on a budget. They are a little cliche... but only because EVERYONE loves them.  Seriously. You just can't go wrong with a simple but lovely and CLASSIC gift.  If you are looking to go a little more unique how about my favorite detox bath salts, a really cool magnetic hourglass, fresh delivered succulents (um, yes please!), a milk chocolate bars with baby champagne bears (sure to delight!), a glitter snow globe or a 4 pack of face masks.  For the beauty lovers I absolutely adore this glitter cosmetic case,  these gold/rhinestone hair ties are just gorgeous, I love the idea of a little perfume roller to try a new scent, everyone loves Kiehl's "dream team" set or my favorite peppermint lip conditioner is perfect for winter.

If you are looking for teacher gifts these detox bath salts would be perfect with a gift card and a note to "DETOX" over break (wink, wink). Teachers LOVE gift cards or classroom donations made on their behalf (I've heard through the grapevine from multiple sources).  A beautiful scarf, pom pom hat or fingerless gloves are perfect for those teachers that have recess duty... a simple note thanking them and reminding them to stay warm would be a great gift. For teachers I also love giving a simple candle (you could break this candle set up into three individual gifts) or a mug with a gift card alongside it.
