Hard to believe that the Holidays are upon us, but believe it sister! Thanksgiving is next week which means Christmas is right around the corner. I absolutely love that this is the season to give, as there are few things I enjoy more than the look on someone’s face when they open a gift I know they are truly going to love. I live for that element of imagination and thoughtfulness that goes into selecting that perfect gift for those loved ones on my list. But between various holiday parties, work events, and family gatherings, that list of items to buy can become daunting (not to mention, expensive!)  However, in an effort to plan ahead and alleviate some of that shopping stress, I’ve rounded up 20 gifts under $30 that are unique, thoughtful, and sure to be a hit.

Several of the items from this guide are tried and true products that I either use myself or have purchased for someone. You really can’t go wrong with a monogrammed coffee mug, yummy smelling candle, or cute gadgets to jazz up your friend’s at home bar station.

I’m a huge fan of stila make-up products, and picked up a similar set of liquid lipstick at the Nordstrom sale this summer. This set is perfect for the make-up lover on your list, and at only $20 an incredible steal! Another one of my Nordstrom sale picks that’s making it’s way back around for the Holidays, is this awesome rose gold manicure set.

Besides Nordstrom, my all-time favorite place to score one-of-a-kind gifts, is Anthropologie. I’ve purchased so many cute notebooks, luggage tags, and quirky little coffee table books there, and love they have creative gifts at every price point. I’m obsessed with the detail on this abalone corkscrew wine opener, and these fun statement key-chains.

This is just the first of a few gift guides I’ll be sharing this season. Click on any of the images above to directly shop these adorable gifts. Thanks for reading, and Happy Shopping!
