Holiday Gift Guide: 25 Gifts Under $25.00

This year, more than ever, it's important to shop small businesses as much as humanly possible.

I've compiled a holiday gift-buying guide that will not only help small business owners but will also help your pocketbook this holiday season.

Here are twenty-five gifts under $25.00!

#1: Earings

I've always wanted to be the kind of girl who can pull earrings like this off, but I'm not. So hopefully one of my friends is because I'm buying this.

These are 14k gold and are sure to be a hit with your cool-girl/guy friend.

Price: $12.50-$24.90 depending on specifications.

You can snag these tough girl earrings here.

#2: Wine Lover Keychain

Have a friend or family member that's obsessed with all things wine? Maybe even a co-worker? This is the perfect gift for that special person. This Etsy shop owner allows buyers to customize the initial as well as the color of the charm.

Price: $13.87

#3: Mood Journal

In the famous words of Ariana Grande...

"It's a mood, it's a vibe!"

Okay, but this is actually a really cool gift. It's a mood journal with guided journaling pages.

Price: $15.00

#4.: Recipe Keeper

This is cool. I love this. I don't even like to cook or bake and I'd be very down to receive one of these under my Christmas tree this year. Why? Because who doesn't want to make sure they have all of their grandma's favorite recipes to look back on if they ever do happen to cook anything...?

Price: $17.90-$24.00

Grab it here.

#5: Detox Charcoal Scrub

Give the gift that keeps on giving, literally. This detox scrub from Belier purifies and deep cleanses the skin with active tea tree oil. The beauty lover on your list is going to thank you for this scrub.

Price: $14.40

#6: Name Necklace

Personalized name necklaces have been a real vibe over the past couple of years. This sterling silver one is affordable, doesn't break the bank, but has great reviews so you know it's legit.

Okay, of course, I have to put a little disclaimer here. The price starts at under my $25.00 (hence the 25 under $25.00 reasoning behind this post), however, it can go up to $33.49 if you opt for a longer chain...so don't?

Price: $20.40-$33.49

#7: Memory Maker Cards

This is one of my favorite gifts in this guide. If you have someone on your buying list that loves receiving creative, fun gifts, you have to get them this!

This is an entire year's worth (pending you use this weekly) of activities like the following: making time capsules, going on a scavenger hunt, and learning new hobbies. The catch? You have to do them with your family, or a group of friends...this activity is all about togetherness.

Price: $23.00

#8: Personalized Trinket Box

This is the perfect gift for someone who loves a good keepsake or two. Whether it be a young child or an adult, plenty of people are going to love this handcrafted, customized piece of art.

#14: Blind Date with a Book

This is another favorite of mine on this list.

Perfect for the book lover in your life, this is exactly what the title says...a blind date with a book. This small business shop owner packages a book and the fun behind it is the mystery of not knowing which book you'll get.

*the seller lets you specify the book genre should you wish!

Price: $9.20

Get your book here.

#15: Plaid Fringed Sheer Scarf

This is perfect for person who loves fashion. It's sheer, so it isn't going to keep anyone warm (lol) but it's definitely going to look pretty bomb with any outfit choice.

I loved this one so much, I ordered one for me. Merry Christmas to me!

Hope you enjoyed this gift guide. Make sure to follow my posts because I'll be doing another fun gift guide in the next few days. The next one will be white elephant gifts, a few stocking stuffer ideas, and higher-priced items (but still not anything too crazy because it's 2020 and none of us have time for that shit).
