I am not someone who loves to rush any of the holidays, but I am someone who likes to plan head. Gift buying is one area in which you can plan ahead this Christmas season. I love reading gift idea guides, so I decided to create one of my own. Are you searching for a gift for your mom, your daughter, niece or best friend? Take a look at my 5 gift ideas for under $50!
1. Vera Bradley Triple-Zip Hipster Cross-Body Bag. I own a Vera bag right now, but I have been eyeing the triple-zip hipster. There are so many great designs, and not all are under $50, but this fun one is currently $37.99 + shipping.
2. A warm, comfortable blanket. I have a number of blankets in my home, but my favorite is at the end of my bed. I found so many different options when searching for ideas for all of you. Consider a fun color that might brighten a room….or a mood!
3. A cozy scarf. Scarves are pretty and practical, so they make a great gift idea. I purchased this scarf as a gift for a family member last year. The color options are endless and the price is right. I might just have to pick one up for me!4. An electric tea kettle. Tea is one of my favorite things in the world. I love boiling my tea water in my electric kettle; it’s fast and hot! I have had my electric kettle forever, but it is not as pretty as what I found for you. This $39.88 electric tea kettle has great reviews.
5. A good book. I love a good book. I have read many good books over the last year including this one. Do you have a reader on your list? Consider purchasing this book for her. I loved it, and I think she might, too.
I hope you are inspired to begin hunting for gifts, and I hope this post has given you an idea or two. Online shopping makes the process that much easier. So, plan ahead, consult my gift guide, and check off a person or 2 on your gift-giving list!
What about you? Have you started your Christmas shopping? Any good finds for under $50?
Until next time,
Charissa

I’m glad you liked these ideas, Aldy!
That tea kettle design is fabulous! Mine just died, I think it’s time for an upgrade! Thanks for the suggestion
Mine is in good working condition, but I am also wanting an upgrade! 🙂
Great ideas! I love warm cozy blankets.
Hi Melissa, I love cozy blankets, and there are so many fun colors and patterns available!
Love the list especially the tea kettle
Thanks, Ashly, I’m a big tea fan so a pretty kettle is always a good option in my book!
Ooh I think I might need to get #4 and 5 for myself!
Hi, Elizabeth, yes, a warm cup of tea and a good book are some of my favorites, too!
I love a scarf for a present. Affordable, practical, pretty and you can’t get enough of them!
hi, Twin Pickle, yes, a scarf is always a good option!
Yes! The blanket, the tea kettle, the book and the scarf sound like a perfect Saturday or Sunday afternoon!
Hi Vicki, a warm cozy afternoon, indeed!
