The holidays are quickly approaching, and I am pretty excited about getting some mistletoe action. Regardless of what
holiday you celebrate, it's great to GET gifts. BUT it really feels the best when you actually GIVE someone a gift especially when they open it and exclaim, "Oh my goodness, Jimmy! You shouldn't have!"
However, the problem with the holidays is knowing what gift to get the spicy senorita in your life. Compound that problem of pressure to find a great gift with the lack of available funds, and your holidays can be downright stressful.
To ease your emotions and distress, I am going to help you pick out a dynamite gift. All of these gifts are under $30 -- affordable!
The first suggestion is hand-crafted jewelry. I'm not talking about you breaking out the macaroni noodles as you did for your mother back in the day. I'm talking about visiting an antique shop or farmer's market where a variety of merchants sell hand-crafted jewelry. Grab something unique after talking to the artist because the best gift comes with a story behind it.
Another recommendation is putting together a bath & body basket. Sure, you could go with one of those prepacked baskets, but they are always higher priced than what you can purchase individually. Be creative and mix-and-match a combination and assemble into a basket. Add a soft bath cloth and a loofah, and you have a sweet
gift.
Everyone loves getting pampered -- and everyone loves a pedicure. The pampering makes women feel like a queen. A thoughtful gift idea is a gift certificate for a trip to the salon for a pedicure.
Soft and supple slippers are another affordable and loved gift. You can find some fantastic options online or at local department stores.
Personally I love men's subscription boxes, and many outstanding versions for women are affordable and available. You can find unique boxes specifically designed for whatever sheโs into, whether makeup, wine, clothing, and more. Hereโs a reference of popular subscription boxes currently available https://hellosubscription.com/best-subscription-boxes-for-women/
Scarves are a favorite of mine -- and they are a favorite fashion accessory for women as well. Scarves are a perfect gift because they are inexpensive, super soft, and stylish. Make sure you donโt get a scarf that is made with something sheโs allergic to, howeverย -- that would definitely kill the gift.
Most women love wine -- and yours probably does too. An eccentric or uncommon bottle of wine is a thoughtful gift idea. But suppose she already has a wine collection. In that case, you can give her wine accessories (wine glass charms, for example), an aerator, or a decanter.
Now, I am not the biggest fan of gift cards because they show you didn't try really hard, but some occasions are appropriate. Two gift cards, in particular, are dynamite. One is a gift card to where she buys makeup, such as Ulta or Sephora. Another is a gift card to a shoe store -- all great outfits start at the feet, and women certainly know that's true!
In this day and age of social media and selfies, phone accessories are a fun gift idea. A selfie light ring can make her selfie pictures look even more radiant and beautiful. A shutter remote-control is also a fascinating find. You could even find a new case for her phone -- perhaps a custom case featuring a picture of her pet.
And if you want to WIN this holiday season, get her pet a present. It won't even be fair to Santa Claus! It will be game over, and everything else she gets won't matter because you are a savage and know the way to her heart.
All women, no matter, want to know you put time into your gift. A sincere gift from the heart takes some reading between the lines; therefore, it
doesn't have to be monumental. Your gift simply needs to be meaningful to her.
