'Tis the season for gift guides! ​Lately, there have been a lot of gift guides floating through my feeds and I'm loving it! It is so helpful to see what other people are loving and what they have found to really add value to their lives. Although I find them super helpful for adding to my own Christmas list and/or a close family member, some of the suggestions are just a little out of my price point for gift giving on a bigger scale (i.e. friends and co-workers).
 
I love to give a little something to friends as I meet up for happy hour or coffee around the holiday season. Something that doesn’t break the bank but also shows love and care for having them in my life. The same goes for co-workers, in reality, I actually spend more time with them than friends so a thank you for a great year always goes a long way.
 
That being said, depending how big your circle of friends is, this can quickly become a much bigger expense than intended. I’ve been searching for these go-to gifts this season and rounded up my gift guide for affordable and fabulous gifts to share with all of you. To be fair, I may have overdone the personalization aspect of things, but a lot of time people love the personal touch yet would never get it for themselves so it really adds a little something extra to the gift. 

1.  Scented candle - ($12.00) These candles are some of my absolute favorites! They smell amazing, burn forever, and once you are done, the jar top makes for an amazing coaster!
2. Handmade fleece blanket - ($15.00 - $25.00) This is a great DIY gift. It requires no sewing, is quick and easy and you can pick the perfect fabric combination for the person in mind. Joann's always has coupons online so find a deal to make it even more affordable!
3. Bud vase & eucalyptus leaves - ($10.00) These sleek and minimal vases are the perfect gift for someone to add some good vibes to their home or desk. 
4. Personalized stationary wax seal - ($15.00 - $25.00)This gift is filled with nostalgia and fun. Most people don't use wax seals anymore but they are actually super fun to do and a great way to add a personal touch to letters. 
5. Personalized stationary - ($18.00) So often at work we are taking notes or leaving post its. This is a great way to add an extra touch around the office and know for sure who the note is from ;-)
6. Monogrammed winter gloves - How many times do you lose your pair of black gloves right?! These are a great way to make an affordable staple unique.
7. Bluetooth tracker -  ($14.00-$25.00) I lose my keys all . the . time! If it's not keys, it's something. We all have that one think we misplace and now you can gift someone the ability to find it. With an 8-pack that breaks down to $13.75 per tile, place it in a gift card holder or mini stocking and you have the perfect functional gift. 
8. Wine Ornament - (8.00) I've gifted bottles of wine in the past, but these wine ornaments are so festive and a unique twist to a classic co-worker gift. 
9. Notebook and unique pens - Whether it's journaling for personal development or taking notes during a meeting, a personalized notebook takes something relatively generic and makes it special. If you are willing to splurge a bit, keep your gift under the $30 mark with these super adorable pens from Sparkly Scribes.

​And remember, no matter who the gift is for, a personal, handwritten, holiday greeting card goes a long way. 

​Happy shopping!
