Gifts Under $30

Hello, my friends! Thank y’all so much for your kind words via DM about me kind of being off my game this weekend (and lately)! I decided to just give myself some time to mentally rest this weekend. While I love blogging and shooting outfits and making gift guides it can be kind of hard to come home from heavy report writing days to stare at a computer screen for another few hours. My house was also IN SHAMBLES because I was starting laundry, Christmas decor, and who knows what other tasks and not finishing any of them. Needless to say, I am feeling a lot better and little more mentally organized (does that make sense). I am actually writing this blog at my desk, which I haven’t done in SO LONG. It’s nice. Last night, I finished up my gift guide under $30 collage because something in this price range was HIGHLY requested! This whole gift guide would be great to put together a gift for your co-worker, put the finishing touch on a gift for a sibling, or put a smile on the face of your long distance bestie!

one. two. three. four. five. six. seven. eight. nine (smaller version). ten. eleven.

The great thing about a lot of the sets I’m showing y’all today is that you can actually break them up into individual gifts! I have quite a bit of skincare on this post, but it’s because EVERYONE deserves to have glowing skin. The deep pore cleansing mask is my favorite of this set!! I  also love that these are also travel size, so they’d make a great gift for your bestie who is always on-the-go!

Another gorgeous gift set! I love the size of the Mac mini lipsticks because it is much easier to color in my lips! This set also comes with two gorgeous make-up bags! I would love to give this to a teen and maybe gift her some of my must-have make-up products! She’ll appreciate your advice and you’ll also gift her a mini make-up bag to carry in her purse!

Sorry not sorry, I love flair pens! Maybe because I work in the school district and bright colored pens are acceptable, but I’d LOVE to get these pens as a gift! I’m actually gifting a set of these to my SLPA (She doesn’t read the blog! No worries! haha!) because she loves borrowing mine!

Y’all know I’ve been obsessing over initial pendants lately and this version is ADORABLE! The rhinestones make it stand out and I think it’d be so cute for layering! At $10 (on sale!) these are a great gift for a girlfriend!

My obsession with TULA products are no secret! I think I talk about one of their products every time I discuss my skincare routine. This set of two are minis of two of my favorite products. BONUS: get 20% off with my link!

I bought this candle at Target a few weeks ago and it has burnt soooo nicely. I love that they’re only $10 and the velvet packaging makes the gift look super luxe!

These headbands have been EVERYWHERE lately and I feel like Christmas is the perfect opportunity to spice up a friend or sister’s closet! I love this set because they’re neutral and can go with lots of outfits!

One of my beautiful friends GIFTED her bachelorette party guests some similar key rings. I’ll be honest: I didn’t know what the fuss was all about. I would see these on everyone’s wrist on instagram and didn’t get it. BUT OMG- since I’ve had mine, I am obsessed with it! I ordered a few of these for gifts!

When I saw these make-up brush organizers I got so EXCITED (and sad because I don’t need this gift, ha!) I initially fell in love with the larger version, but the smaller one is perfect for maybe even a pen holder for a desk!

I am a huge fan of coffee (and abuelita hot chocolate if the weather permits) I LOVE that these mugs have a little cookie slot! This is basically a HUG in a physical form and you should gift it to someone you love!

So these are SLIGHTLY above $30, but when you consider that you can break them up into smaller gifts (these come in separate packages!) I love these lip treatments because they offer the best amount of color, but also help out with chapped lips. BONUS: there’s SPF 15, which keeps your gifted loved one’s lips protected.

These pajamas were actually a TJMaxx find from last Valentine’s Day! They’re from my favorite lingerie brand, Natori (this is my wedding robe)! These are a very similar version for much less! This was also the first time I wore these open Danielle earrings from Kendra Scott! I love that these are so glam for the holidays!

I hope y’all enjoyed this gift guide! I have two more that I want to get out to y’all and I may just do one huge post! Stay tuned for how productive I am over the weekend! I am headed back to Harlingen tomorrow for day 2 of an Autism Conference that has been SOOOOO informative! I can’t wait for tomorrow! After, I might stop at the outlets to pick up some last minute gifts- are y’all done shopping yet?! image
