50 Under $50 Gift Guide

11.23.15

Christmas Eve is exactly 1 month and 1 day away. Now, if you’re like me and haven’t done one lick of your holiday shopping yet, that realization might be anxiety inducing. The good thing is that we still have plenty of time to tick every name off our lists and find that perfect little something for everyone. There are a TON of gift guides out there this year and it can be a little overwhelming to sift through them all. So I decided to keep it simple and do one gift giving post that covers lots of different types of people that might be on your list. I also wanted to help you stick to your holiday budget so every item (there are 50) on this list is under $50 (I even did my best to keep them under $50 CAD). This way you can be an awesome gifter without going broke and you may even have some funds left to treat yo-self!
