Holiday Gift Guide : Under $30

Under $30 Gift Guide, Gift Guide, Gift Ideas, Holiday Gifting, Stocking Stuffers, Affordable Gifts

This is always one of my favorite gift guides to put together because I believe that when it comes to gift giving, the amount of money spent doesn't matter as much as the thought that goes into the present. As long as you try to make it meaningful and purposeful, it will go a long way to impress the recipient.  These are a mix of fun and practical picks that would be suitable white elephant gifts and they would also work for friends as well as colleagues. And yes everything is under $30.

I love that decision maker dice. Would make an awesome host/hostess gift as well:) And I honestly think one can never have enough universal adapters. I've actually given them as gifts a few times:D
Happy weekend, chingu!

These are great gifts for anyone. I bought a similar garden kit for my cousin since he lives in a metro city now. I'd add for travellers I think RFID wallet sleeves are also good gifts, I was recently gifted one earlier this year and love it, you might as well! Happy December & wishing you a lovely weekend! <3
