Holiday Gifts Under $50

I love shopping, whether for me or for someone else, as long as it's for something fun. I think gifts are one of the most delightful things to shop for, because the sole purpose of the shopping trip (or online spree) is to bring someone else joy. How warm 'n fuzzy is that?! Anyway, here are some cheap gifts that are sure to delight almost anyone on your list:

♥ Right now I'm totally thrilled with the idea of picking out some glorious fashion pictures from Foto Decadent, saving them to my computer, and then ordering prints of them through a photo service like Photo Bucket. Super cheap, but anyone interested in fashion would love to receive some prints to tack up on their wall. Non-fashionistas would probably appreciate prints from other websites. Also, ordering some prints from DeviantArt might be fun if you're looking for a different kind of art. There are so many artists selling prints there.

♥ Everyone, girl or guy, needs a good winter cardigan. I think a men's cardigan looks great on both sexes, and no one can deny the coziness. How about this Urban Outfitters one? Classic and warm. I've been debating buying it for myself...

♥ How beautiful are these Teaposy Blooming Teas? Tea in the winter is a sensible gift, but these are so much more fun and exotic than a normal (and dare I say boring) tea. Mmm.

♥ An Andy Warhol wristwatch? YES! Who wouldn't want good old Andy strapped to their wrist?

♥ I'm a sucker for a soft, warm bathrobe. There's nothing better at the end of a cold day. I like this American Eagle one because it's covered in cute little stars.

♥ Of course, DIY gifts are also so nice to receive. I really like the necklace the Gossip Girl stylist talks about on the Week 5 G.G. style video. It would make a nice gift for someone who likes statement necklaces. It will take a visit to the hardware store for chains, as well as the craft store for beads, but it should be fairly cheap and easy to make. I might make myself one!

That's the end of the gift ideas for now, but I might do another post as the holiday season gets closer.

I love the holiday seasons as well and I always like giving gifts better than getting them. That photo idea is fantastic! I might want to give myself that gift now :D

A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away. nice post and thanks for sharing...
