Even though we haven’t hit Thanksgiving yet, the trees downtown have started to go up and I’ve started doing a bit of holiday shopping. It seems like most people are starting to shop earlier this year and I get it. Last year was a weird (and little lonely/lowkey) holiday season for all, so I know everyone wants to get ahead of things.
Last year I really focused on spending my dollars to support local and small businesses and that’s still my intention with gift giving in 2021! Supporting local and small shops in Chicago, with other gifts mixed in.
Here’s a bit of gifting inspiration for a girlfriend, mom, aunt or sister for under $50 and under $100! Simply click on the item images below to easily view and shop.
GIFTS UNDER $50
Candle, Wick Trimmer and Matches Cloche // I would never be disappointed with a bougie candle as a gift and I love all these cute candle accessories we have on our console table.
Pill Box // My friend gave me this last year and it’s so cute and handy! If you take multiple vitamins like me each day, this box is very helpful and chic to keep yourself organized.
Camp Socks // Hands down my favorite socks that I wear with my Blundstone Chelsea Boots. A little weird to get hyped over socks, but I love giving them as a gift. So comfortable and cozy for the winter.
Yeti Rambler and Glass Straw // A friend influenced me to get this giant cup last year and I use it every single day. I fill it in the morning with lemon water and it sits on my desk and is refilled throughout the day. No excuses not to drink enough water in 2022.
Ribbed Pom Pom Beanie // I have this hat in a few colors and it’s just the cutest (plus, so warm) for the winter. Always an easy gift that’s a winner.
GIFTS UNDER $100
Vuori Joggers // I finally understand the hype around these joggers. They are super soft (great for work from home life) and yet stylish enough to wear out and run errands.
Gorjana Necklace // I wear this necklace on repeat and feel like it’s the perfect gift for a fashionable girlfriend.
Moonlight Pajamas // I’ve successfully influenced a handful of friends to buy these amazingly comfortable PJs. If your friends are going to stay with family this holiday, upgrade their pajama game with this set.
Wireless Charging Accessory Tray // This is actually on my wish list, but what a sleek design to plop your phone down to charge and avoid having cords all over the place.
La Mer Set // Ah, the gift of skincare. I love this travel set and there is no better moisturizer than the pricey La Mer.
