Simple, Thoughtful, & Affordable Gift Ideas for the Special Women In Your Life
Christmas is just around the corner, 11 days away to be exact! As exciting as that is, I am also starting to feel as if I have a long list of gifts to purchase but very little time and money to do so. There are so many special people in my life and I want to make sure they are acknowledged and appreciated for all that they do. I am sure we can all relate to the feeling of not having much time, money, or any ideas for gift giving this holiday season so I took it upon myself to compile a short list. Below are some simple, thoughtful, and affordable gifts to give your best friend, sister, cousin, mother, grandmother, aunt, daughter, granddaughter, etc. These are also gifts that are easy to personalize by doing something as simple as picking out your best friend's favorite scent of candle or buying your sister a 2017 calendar filled with quotes from her favorite television show. By adding just a little extra customization and thought to the present ideas below you can show the special women in your life that you care about them and have been thinking about them during this season of giving :)
1. Coffee Mug or Travel Cup
A fairly self explanatory gift, coffee mugs or travel mugs are perfect for a friend that drinks a lot of coffee or tea.
2. Tea Infuser
There are some seriously creative tea infusers out there such as the Manatea Tea Infuser from target, if you have any tea lovers in your life you should definitely check it out.
3. Love Your Melon Hat
Love Your Melon is a fantastic company! 50% of all profits support helping children with cancer. They sell adorable beanies and other clothing items, you really cannot go wrong purchasing items from their website: https://www.loveyourmelon.com/
4. Candle or Candle Warmer
Candles are great for feeling cozy during the colder weather. If your loved one happens to be a college student that lives in a dormitory, candle warmers are a great alternative to candles.
5. Stationary
I am always writing notes and to do lists, this Kate Spade post it set was an excellent gift I recently received (Thank you to one of my best friends, Molly for this present ♥)
6. Framed Picture
Nothing says I value your presence in my life like a framed picture of you and your loved one. I personally have found some great frames at Francesca's or my local HomeGoods.
7. 2017 Calendar
A practical and useful gift, there are many websites that will allow you to choose custom pictures for each month of your calendar. This is a great option for the new year.
8. Blanket
There are so many options for this gift. For a more personal touch, purchase fleece of your choice and make your own tie blanket. Also great options are fuzzy blankets or a heated blanket.
9. Treat Yourself Supplies
One of my favorite stores to buy this type of stuff from is Lush. Lush has great bath bombs, lotion, face scrubs, etc. This is a great gift to encourage your loved one to take time for themselves and relax during the holiday season.
These monthly subscription services are great for anyone who is into trying new beauty products. Each month, a new package arrives with sample sized beauty products personalized to your individual preferences.
11. Fuzzy Socks or Slippers
Fuzzy socks or slippers are guaranteed to be used a lot during the winter, plus look how cute holiday themed socks like the ones pictured below are!
I hope this helps give you some gift inspiration! Most importantly, I hope your holidays are filled with joy, time with loved ones, and relaxation.
