Gift Guide: Under $30


The holidays can definitely feel daunting when it comes to finances because it just seems like you’re throwing money at ALL THE THINGS: holiday outfits, flights home and gifts for everyone and their mom. It’s funny cuz I’ve noticed over the years we all put the gift pressure on ourselves and the reality is that most people aren’t expecting much. You’d be surprised at how far a bottle of wine, a little gift and a thoughtful card can go. TBH that’s my go-to! I usually stock up on the seasonal wine from WINC and buy all the NEST votive candles then make little gift bags for my friends. I mean, who doesn’t love wine and candles?

If you’re in the market for some great gifts under $30 that pair well with wine or just make for great stocking stuffers, keep scrolling for all the ideas. And if you’re looking for gifts that aren’t THINGS, make sure to check out my EXPERIENCES gift guide.

underrated gift alert: BOOKS!

There are some amazing books out there and I swear some of my favorite gifts over the past few years have been books. A few that I like:

  • Your Are Badass - great for college age through 30s, especially for those experiencing big life changes, work frustrations, or are looking to pivot in business

  • BECOMING - my mother-in-law got this for me last year and I read it in 2 days. It’s a beautiful insight into Michelle Obama’s life.

  • Daisy Jones + The Six or anything by Taylor Jenkins Reid: adult fiction that’s a quick read and loved be most!

Don’t sleep on Urban Outfitters

UO is one of my go-to spots for finding unique gifts that aren’t too expensive. I swear you can find the perfect gift no matter who you’re shopping for or how old they are.
