It’s HERE! As promised today I am sharing 25 more affordable Christmas gift ideas for her! Just like Part 1, all the ideas I’ve shared are under $25! But this time around instead of sharing fashion, beauty, and accessory gift ideas all the ones I’ve shared are centered around lifestyle gifts and gifts for a home.

I’m positive there is something fun any girl would absolutely love within these 50 ideas I’ve shared! If you can’t find the idea you are looking for in this portion (or maybe you just want to browse more options) go ahead and check out my first edition!

I want to make a side note that all these items (at the time I’m posting this) are all within budget at full price. However, most of these items will go on sale sometime over this holiday season. I know how important it is to stay in budget, while still wanting to get your friend or mom an awesome gift. If you guys need help brainstorming when these items will go on sale, leave me a comment and I’ll do anything I can to help you out!

Happy shopping, everyone!

1. Cute Coffee Mug: Ahh! I am just absolutely in love with these zodiac watercolor mugs from World Market. Coffee cups make the perfect gift because they’re useful and cute. Pair a mug with a cute biscotti, instant coffee or cocoa pack to give out as little office gifts or even to the whole family!

These are my favorite biscotti. You could even order a bulk pack of these to fill multiple coffee cups.

More cute mugs:

• These ones from Target remind me of Anthropologie ones (without the high price tag).
• Another cute zodiac mug.
• The perfect mug for a mom of young kids.

2. Pillow: Speaking of Anthropologie dupes I promise I’ll be done after this, but if this pillow doesn’t scream “I bought this at Anthropologie”, I don’t know what does. There is a reason why there is a stereotype around women and throw pillows. Can you ever truly have too many? I know I can’t.

3.Planter Magnets: Who said you can’t bring a little life to a fridge? These would make a perfect present for any plant lover. Fridges can be cute too!

4. A good book With a new year approaching, your girl needs new things to read. If she has a list of books to read, definitely pick one of those up. I think the “Girl Wash Your Face”, self-help workbook (which is also a New York Times bestseller), is an awesome option!

5. Zodiac Catch-All Tray: This zodiac tray would make such a cute stocking stuffer, and it’s only $8! Sidenote: make sure to pay attention to the dimensions of the product. A lot of reviewers say they weren’t expecting it to be so small.

If you think you’re girlfriend may want to use this for anything other than dainty earrings or ring check out this one out instead. It’s also a zodiac catch-all dish but is larger and size, and comes with a lid perfect for keeping jewelry from getting dusty.

6. Candle: Some of you probably have thought of this idea already, but it’s one of my favorite go-to gifts. I couldn’t bring myself to leave it out. Bath and Body Works has amazing three wick candles that originally retail for $24.50.

However, just in case you aren’t familiar with Bath and Body Works they have several half off sales on the three wick candles. I definitely don’t recommend buying them full price unless you are really in a time crunch. My favorite scent is their “Pumpkin Pecan Waffles”.

7. Pop Socket: If you’re familiar with my gift guides from last year, you’ll probably notice that I’m recommending gifting a Pop Socket again. I think the fact that this simple phone grip and a stand is still super relevant a year later shows just how much everyone loves them.

8. Selfie Light: This is a mini ring light that just slips over the top of your phone which provides three different lighting settings. Sometimes the flash just is a little too harsh.  Perfect for any girl who wants to up their selfie game a little bit (I mean who doesn’t?)

If you have a hard time getting your hands on the Elf one check out this one by Impressions Vanity. It doesn’t fit into our $25 budget at full price. However, every time I’ve checked on the price it’s always been on sale. It is currently listed for $14.99.

9. Hydroflask: My Hydroflask easily makes it into my top 5 lifestyle products. A Hydroflask is basically a stainless steel double insulated water bottle that is capable of keeping cold drinks cold for 24 hours and hot drinks steaming hot for up to 6 hours. And let me tell you, it truly sticks up to that reputation. I love my Hydroflask for keeping the ice in my ice water for hours.

10. Planner: It’s the perfect time of year to replace your friend’s daily or monthly planner, she’ll be set for a year of success!

11. Rainbow Privacy Film: This is such a fun gift to give. Not only is it practical, but when the light hits it reflects magical little rainbows all over the room.

12. Fuzzy Blanket: You could find a fuzzy blanket from any retailer right now. But the blankets from Target’s Threshold brand are my absolute favorite. I’m half ashamed to admit how many of these I own (I own four). I don’t care how many cozy blankets your girl has, she could always use another.

Deal alert: The past two years Target has offered an awesome Black Friday deal on these so you can get an even bigger size for cheaper.

13. Phone charger: Here to ask, can anyone ever truly have too many phone chargers? Skip the cheap ones and opt for this quality 6ft braided USB cable from Target. I’ve found when it comes to phone chargers you truly get what you pay for. This one from heyday comes in 6 gorgeous colors and is only $19.99!

14. Tealight Holder: Perfect for any lady in your life looking to jazz up her space. This blush lotus tealight holder is too cute for words!

15. Mini Speaker: Throw this pink portable mini speaker in a stocking or wrap it up! It connects to any smartphone VIA Bluetooth.

16. Passport Holder: This cute “I’m Outta Here” passport cover is perfect for any girl who loves to travel. Along with the spot for a passport, it also has 7 spots for any ID’s or cards she would need.

17. Agate Coaster: This agate coaster would make the perfect addition to any table. The Etsy listing is only for a single coaster, so if you’re looking for multiple you could get a pair of them for under $25. Perfect for bedside tables, or even just a mod podge of already existing coasters.

18. Frame: Add a cute photo of the two of you to a super stylish frame for sentimental value. I know a lot of girls who can agree with the sentiment that thoughtful presents are so much more meaningful than monetary gifts.

19.Macrame: You may recognize this macrame piece from a previous post, it’s under $20 and ships Amazon Prime! Perfect for the bohemian babe in your life.

20. Kate Spade Tumblr: Another awesome drinkware option is a really cute tumblr. Most aren’t insulated like the Hydroflasks, but for someone who is just looking for a basic to-go cup, this is a great gift idea.  I love this floral Kate Spade option for only $18.00!

21.Ultimate Werewolf: Pick up a fun new strategy game for the hostess on your list! Ultimate Werewolf is one of my husband and I’s favorite games to play when we host game night. Specifically, because it comes with an app that basically walks you through how to play the game so anyone can easily jump in and play. You can play with anywhere from 5 to 75 different people!

22. Female Form Bud Vase: This bud vase is truly such a unique and beautiful piece of art. I love it even more with flowers sprouting out from the top. Check out Urban Outfitter’s stock photos to see just how magical this piece would look in your best friend’s new apartment!

23. Essential Oil Diffuser: Last year my husband and I gifted a diffuser to my mother in law, and she absolutely loved it! Such a great option for someone who has expressed interest in getting into essentials oils. Or even if you purchased a second one for someone who already owns one, so they can have them in different areas of their home.

24. Cookbook: Who doesn’t love finding a tasty new recipe? This cookbook by Tasty, a popular food blog, has over 80 of their most popular recipes.

If you’re okay with a “saucier” version check out the “What the F*@# Should I Make For Dinner?” cookbook that offers humor and 50 yummy recipes. This would be such a fun option for a White Elephant or Secret Santa gift exchange.

25. Personalized cutting board: Yes, you did read that right! You can totally get personalized gifts for just $25. I love the idea of gifting this to a family member or friend, and that every time she pulls it out she will think of you.

This would also make a great gift for a couple (like in-laws).

I hope this little series was helpful for you! I loved rounding up all these gift ideas all into one compact space. If you have any suggestions for other readers I’d love it if you left them for all of us in the comments below.

It’s that time of year to start crossing names off your Christmas list! To help you out I’ve shared 25 of my favorite gift ideas for her in today’s post. All these products are under $25 (not even considering sale prices), can you believe that?!

I originally created this gift guide with the average girl in mind. But whether you’re shopping for a girlfriend, sister, or a grandma there is truly something that every one of those special gals in your life will love! These gifts would make great stocking stuffers too!

I’ve included ideas from retailers like Target, Sephora, Amazon, and more. I wanted to include a variety of different stores, so I could share the absolute best affordable Christmas presents! I also think it’s so important to not feel limited to only a few basic stores just because you only have $25 to spend.

As you can tell by the title for today’s post I’ve decided to focus on beauty, accessories, and fashion! No worries if none of these ideas work for you, I have 25 more gift ideas coming. Next time I’ll be focusing on the home and lifestyle category. Once I have that posted I’ll have it linked here.

Without further ado, let’s get into it!

1. Sugar Lip: While $24 for a lip treatment may seem like a little much for someone who has never tried this product before, let me just tell you how amazing this product feels on the lips. This is one of my favorite secrets to keeping soft unchapped lips.

2. Sunglasses: Every girl needs a good pair of tortoise sunglasses. Did I mention they are an Amazon dupe for a pair by Karen Walker that retail for $205.94?! Save your money by opting to gift the more affordable pair. I mean these are under $10 and ship Amazon Prime. Not only will your girl still love these, but you may be able to give her more gifts because of it.

3. C.C. messy bun beanie: I’ve shared this messy bun beanie with you before, but I wanted to mention it again because it’s just so unique. You can have the warmth of a regular beanie without having to give up showing off your cute hairstyle because it has a hole at the top for buns/ ponytails.

This boutique also offers them in a size for littles too! Gifting a hat to a mom and daughter would be so adorable.

4. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Set 13: This trio of neutral lip creams is to die for! The soft matte lip creams are hands down my favorite cream lipstick formulas on the market. I don’t expect this particular set to stay in stock for long, but definitely check out their other sets as well as the individual soft matte lip creams.

5. Mini Emegerceny Kit by Pinch: This is a super thoughtful gift that is sure to save your girl in a “pinch”. It comes with 17 different beauty, personal care and style essentials like stain remover, floss, and even a safety pin! I would never think to buy something practical like this for myself, which makes it one of the best gifts to give.

6. Leather cuff bracelet: This bracelet by Haiti Design Co is honestly the perfect accessory. It is such a simple way to add a little something extra to any outfit. Best of all, each piece by this brand is handcrafted by Haitian artisans so you’re giving back to their community by supporting their products. Yay!

7. Jade roller: This is an anti-aging face roller that has taken the beauty industry by storm this year. If you aren’t sure of the purpose it’s basically a new skincare tool that when you roll it onto your face has a whole list of benefits for your skin.

8. Makeup bag: A perfect solution to keeping makeup organized whether it’s for travel or home storage. Also, can it get any better than this gorgeous floral print? I think not.

9. Sephora Face Mask: Help your girl out by gifting this super affordable self-care product. These masks have a 4.3 out of 5 stars, which is pretty awesome for a $6 face mask. There are nine different masks that cater to all different skin issues, so you’re sure to find one for that lovely lady on your holiday shopping list.

10. 18 Pairs earrings from Target: With this pack, she’ll never have to worry about not having earrings for an outfit because this set comes with 18 different colorful studs that won’t disappoint.

11. Soap and Glory The Scrub of Your Life: Appropriately named this is the only body scrub a girl could ever need. Not only does it leave my skin feeling amazing, but it also smells so good! My husband always compliments me after I get out of the shower when I’ve used this exfoliator.

12. Fuzzy socks from Old Navy: These are cozy, festive, and extremely soft. What’s not to love? Plus, what stands out about the fuzzy socks from Old Navy is they don’t lose their fuzziness when washed. With other brands, I have had such an issue maintaining the fuzziness even though I don’t dry them. I still have my Old Navy pairs from when I stocked up last year. They are great!

13. Sweet Christmas Set from Lush: This duo comes with a candy cane reusable bubble bar and a cherry Christmas bath bomb. Gifting this set is equivalent to gifting a couple relaxing baths. If a product allows you to gift an experience just. do. it.

14. Nail Polish Set: Any nail polish set would make such a great Christmas gift. But my recommendation is specifically for this set by the Morgan Taylor brand. It is so underrated, and I truly think it’s just due to getting lost amongst all the well-known brands. What I love is that their nail polishes is that they don’t require a bunch of coats to be wearable. I just don’t have the time to paint my nails a bunch of coats (I’m sure any fellow ladies reading this can relate). Two coats is the max I’ve ever had to do with this brand.

15. Flex Dry Wet Brush: I shared the Wet Brush in last year’s gift guide. Let me tell you: I didn’t think it could get any better until they released the flex dry paddle. It’s even more gentle on the scalp, while somehow getting even more of the tangles out. This is such an amazing gift idea for any gal, but especially someone with a sensitive scalp (like little kids).

16. Morphe Jaclyn Hill eyeshadow palette: If you’re not familiar with the Youtube beauty community, let me just give you a quick rundown. Jaclyn Hill, one of the most well-known beauty gurus has collaborated with the brand Morphe multiple times over the past few years. Her most recent makeup collaboration was on a series called “The Vault” which consists of 4 different palettes of colors she wasn’t able to fit in her last collab.

These palettes have taken over the internet this past year. Each palette retails for only $15.00 and comes with ten different shades. At that price point, this palette definitely earns a spot in this year’s gift guide. Of the four I  recommend picking up the warm-toned palette “Ring The Alarm” as warm-toned eyeshadows have been really on trend this year.

17. Sugar Lip Scrub: This mint lip scrub from Lush has amazing reviews online (and is another personal favorite of mine). Lip care is essential, and your friend will surely thank you for helping her lips survive the harsh winter air.

18. Zodiac necklace: This dainty engraved necklace is perfect for any gal that loves astrology! It’s totally customizable, but essentially you just pick the zodiac constellation you want to be engraved. Plus you’re supporting a small Etsy business, score!!

19. Real Techniques Enhanced Eye Makeup Brush Set: In my opinion, you can never have too many makeup brushes, but this set would also be great for a beginner! It comes with five different brushes, and a storage cup to keep them all organized on a vanity.

20. Cents of Style blanket scarf: This is another awesome versatile accessory, and there are 23 different prints to choose from. Pick one up for your sister and your mom!

21. Batiste dry shampoo: Dry shampoo is essential in my day to day life. Now while that probably sounds really dramatic and over the top, this product is a game changer! I like to use it to extend the time in between hair washes and also for volume in freshly washed hair.

22. Real Techniques Makeup Sponge: At just under $5 this sponge is absolutely fantastic! I will note that the original beauty blender is still in the $25 shopping budget, but to be honest I actually find myself reaching for the Real Techniques sponge over the original beauty blender. Why spend more if you don’t have to?

23. Rollerball Perfume: Another great gift would be a rollerball of your girl’s favorite perfume. I’ve gifted my mom her favorite perfume many times in the past, and she’s always loved it. These rollerballs are perfect for throwing in the purse and touching up throughout the day. If you know her favorite perfume, definitely hook her up!

Sidenote: If you aren’t sure what kind of scents she likes, I recommend checking out this amazing deal from Sephora. It’s a perfume travel size sampler for only $25. This way she can try seven really popular perfumes and maybe even find her signature scent.

24. Universal Thread Basic Pocket tee: These are an absolute wardrobe essential. I just couldn’t create a gift guide and not include these. I know they are just basic tees, but for $8 each these are so great to stock up on! Roll up the tee and tie a fun ribbon around it and you’re set.

I found myself just picturing the Oprah “and you get a” because that is so “me” with these tees! Maybe just buy a T-shirt launcher for your holiday party while you’re at it.

25. Graphic Tee: Any graphic tee would be a super fun gift to give, but I especially love this polaroid graphic from the Junior’s department at Target. It’s also super relevant as the original Polaroid camera is officially back.

Target has so many pop culture graphic tees to choose from.

Check out a few more she’ll love!

Thanks for tuning in to this year’s first gift guide! I really enjoyed curating this list of affordable Christmas present ideas for her. If you are someone who doesn’t like shopping or maybe you just don’t know what to get someone on your list, I hope this post helped you out!

Be on the lookout for my next gift guide featuring 25 more ideas under $25 home and lifestyle edition!

Are there any other gift guides you’d like to see from me? Leave me an idea in the comment section.

Love is in the air, guys and gals! I have gathered a list of seven affordable gift ideas for all the romantics at heart.

Whether you are a gentleman trying to treat your lady or maybe you are a wife looking for a gift for your spouse, the special one in your life will be feeling all the love after receiving one of these gifts. (Links to products mentioned are provided throughout the post, so you can maximize your cuddle time this month.)

1. Body Paint Kit

Want home decor unique to you and your love? Love is Art is a body paint kit you and your significant other use to create art while making love to each other. (Sorry, mom.)

There are currently 24 different sets you can purchase on their website. A signature set comes with a plastic tarp, treated canvas, 4 oz bottle of paint, disposable slippers, and a body scrubber. The kits range in price from $60- $1,000. (Don’t worry guys the $1,000 price tag is only for the gallery edition).

After you have created your masterpiece you can pay to have it stretched locally or they sell the stretching kit on their site, and you can do it yourself. Hang it up and enjoy sharing how you created this piece of art with all your guests.

2. Scentbird

I have suggested Scentbird in a previous gift guide; however, I just think it makes such a great gift I couldn’t help but feature it again. If you aren’t familiar a Scentbird subscription comes with a 30 day supply of a designer fragrance for just $14.95. They offer over 450 different fragrances to choose from.

This is such a great deal considering rollerballs with less product go for more money through any other retailer. For example, Macy’s sells Dolce&Gabbana’s Light Blue 0.25 oz rollerball for $29. With a subscription through Scentbird, you can get the same perfume in a 0.27 oz spray for the $14.95.

3. Personalized handwriting jewelry or roman numerals

Jewelry for Valentine’s day is a common gift idea, but why not take your gifting game a step higher with a personalized jewelry?  This rose gold Roman numeral necklace by Gold Crush Jewelry starts at $69. Add the date of your first date or your anniversary and wow your girl.

4. Bouqs

This is a classic gift idea, but there is a reason flowers are a go-to. They are timeless. Bouqs specifically has absolutely gorgeous arrangements. If you girl isn’t a rose girl don’t worry, Bouqs has so many arrangements to choose from.

Bouquets typically start around $40-$60.

5. Star Home Decor

The Night Sky, my personal favorite option on this gift guide, is a customizable star map. There are many like this out on the internet, but after doing some research I have come to the conclusion this is the most credible and well reviewed.

The process of customizing your own star map is super easy. Choose the location and date then customize the message and other design elements. Add your anniversary date or even the day of a child’s birth and bring your spouse to tears.

For a 18″x24″ high-quality print you can expect to pay $60. As a side note, you are purchasing only the print it does not come framed. It may seem like a steep price, but when you take into account how many years your love will cherish this gift I believe it is well worth it.

6. Boudoir photos

Truly a gift for the both of you! Treat yourself to some pretty lingerie, and book a boudoir session with a local boudoir photographer. Not only will your significant other love the photos but having sexy photos taken of yourself can be a great confidence boost!

You could even create a book of your boudoir photos and gift it. So many options!

7. Scratch off Map

If you and your significant other are the adventurous type, gift this awesome scratch off map so you can document all your travels together!

If you’re too uncomfortable with #1, this is another great way to personalize your home with your SO. The standard size retails for $32 and the large for $48.

How are you guys celebrating Valentines Day this year? Will it be a steak dinner at a fancy restaurant or do you like to avoid the crowd and enjoy a cozy movie night in?
