I feel that this year sped up quicklY, I blinked and boom we are in December already. I think it’s is safe to say we’ve survived another Covid year full of change, but I believe overall we’ve gotten better at navigating around it. How was this year for you? Comment below and let me know how 2021 went. Anyways, its time to talk about gift ideas for you late shoppers.
I must confess that December is one of my favourite months because it is full of activities, family, friends and of course GIFTS! We all know that Christmas is almost here and many of us are still working on our Christmas shopping list for loved ones and possibility for ourselves and of course we try to sneak a gift for ourselves each year and to be honest, we should, we deserve it! How does that famous line go..” Self-love is the best love” right? But all jokes aside, it’s time to get your gifts in order and today, I’ll be sharing with you 5 gift ideas that are under $50 that your loved ones would love. And of course, you can also spoil yourself as well.
5 gift ideas that are under $50
1. Candles
Candles: The first of my gift Ideas I would propose would be candles. Candles always have a way to brighten up any room and mood. I actually stumbled upon this amazing candle business while searching for new and exciting scents for my place. Eternal Light Candle is a company that was founded mid-Covid by three women who were having a fun-filled group chat and decided to create a business. They knew they had the knack for home decor, anything that smelled good, and, of course, food. That statement alone won me over! Their mantra is to create something that “smells as loud as they should, look as pretty (or delicious)” as it should, and are great for the environment. All Eternal Light candles are made 100% vegan with soy and let me tell you the candle cases/vases are so creatively crafted you would just fall in love with them! Some of the candles have funny quotes that would bring a smile to your face or texts they are relatable. My personal favorite scent would be the Strawberry Shortcake. I have bought 3 so far as the prices are affordable, they range from $26-$50 and they smell divine. Trust me your loved ones and maybe you will thank me for it.
2. Books
I am a huge believer in progression and growth, I believe we should always find tools and ways to always evolve on both a personal and professional level. With that being said, here’s the second gift idea I would just recommend for your loved one. I would recommend this amazing book titled Think Like a Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Every Day” by Jay Shetty. For all who aren’t familiar with him, he is a social media superstar and host of “On Purpose”, where he shares the wisdom he learned as a monk into practical steps anyone can take every day to live a less anxious, more meaningful life. Jay Shetty draws on his time as a monk to show us how we can clear the roadblocks to our potential and power. He combines ancient wisdom that he acquired and his own rich experiences in the ashram to birth this incredible book. He reveals to the reader how to overcome negative thoughts and habits, and access the calm and purpose that lie within all of us. He transforms abstract lessons into advice and exercises we can all apply to reduce stress, improve relationships, and give the gifts we find in ourselves to the world.
In this incredible book, you will find tips on how to overcome negativity and overthinking. He also shares tips on why comparison kills love, how to use your fear to your advantage, why you can’t find happiness by looking for it and a lot more! As 2022 is almost here, it’s time to start changing the way we approach life. Life is ever-changing and we have to practice self-care and take our mental health seriously. I would highly recommend this book and you can find it on Amazon with both paperback and Kindle editions between $12.99-$24.75.
3. FUN CARD GAMES
Now that we’ve spoken about the importance of self-improvements in my previous recommendation, it’s time for a little fun this holiday season. The third of my gift ideas under $50 would be a fun card game! I mean no holiday gathering is complete without games and when you add a dash of booze and you’ve got yourself a party! The card that I recommend is called “These Cards Will Get You Drunk – Fun Adult Drinking Game for Parties”. This entertaining adult drinking card game will have everyone laughing as you compete, vote, and embarrass each other with funny questions and activities. Just a fair warning there are fun little challenges and rapid-fire questions that are impossible to answer after a couple or more drinks. Just make sure there are enough couches, blankets, Ubers, or designated drivers to get the losers home. An even though this is a drinking game please drink responsibly. It is great for 2-8 players and it’s perfect for your next holiday party, pregame, or night in with friends. You can find this card game on Amazon for only $15.99.
4. Makeup KITS
The fourth recommendation would be gifting your loved one with the perfect lipstick! Lipsticks are great but the perfect red lipstick can change up your entire look. The lipstick I would recommend would be Pat McGrath Crimson Couture Lip Kit. The packaging alone is to die for. It screams luxury with a dash of mischief. Your loved one or maybe you would be getting the iconic duo lip liner and lipstick. This duo is a show stopper and is the holy grail of that classic Christmas red lip-inspired look we all want to emulate. In this kit, you will get one 4oz MatteTrance™ Lipstick in Elson 31 and one .042oz PermaGel Ultra Lip Pencil in Blood Lust. Some of the perks would be that it smooth your lips with an exfoliant, then gently neutralize your lip colour with a touch of Skin Fetish: Sublime Perfection Concealer. The lip pencil defines and enhances the size of your lips. You can use the lipstick either directly from the bullet or by using a finger to press and roll lip color onto the lip. All these amazing goodies for $45.00!
5. Rich Flower lash BUNDLES
The fifth recommendation that is close to my heart would be none other than a set from Rich Flower Lashes! You already know the perks of our cruelty-free mink lashes but there is more! One of the best things about our lash offering is that we have customized bundle options that start as low as $50 with the added perk of free shipping with your order. If that doesn’t sound like a deal, I don’t know what does. Rich Flower Lashes has 20 phenomenal lash styles to choose from that can be worn up to 20 times with proper care. Furthermore, we believe in choice, because you deserve lashes that suit you perfectly, that’s why we created customizable bundles options. Gone are the days where you would receive pre-packed lashes and not fall in love with all of them, we want you to love each pair you buy! And of course, we have lashes that have different volume levels, different lengths, and also different lash placements. Each lash pair is hand-made with care with a soft cotton band that is flexible and comfortable. So whether you like dramatic or natural lashes, you won’t feel burdened with weight when you have them on. So what are you waiting for? Get a couple of pairs and save while you explore your lash style. They are also the perfect stocking stuffers for your loved ones.
I hope you find these holiday gift ideas helpful. Of course, You can also tell Santa that you have been good this year and deserve all of these items for yourself *wink*. However, I hope, this helps you to finish your shopping so that you can kick back, relax and enjoy this holiday season.
