It is the beginning of December and that means it is officially the holiday season! Cue the festive music, lights, snow, and sappy Hallmark movies. If you decide to exchange gifts with your family, friends, or buy something special to treat yourself this year, I am here to help! Being a college student, it is difficult shopping for gifts because it can get real expensive, real quick. Thankfully, there are plenty of options to choose from if your budget is $50 or under. In fact, I will try my best to include as many as I can that are $25 or under!
Listed below are 10 unique treasures that I have scoured the internet for that will make perfect gifts for others, or yourself.
1. AGATE BOTTLE OPENER, $16
There is always a need for a bottle opener around the house and this one is sure to attract some comments from others. A rose quartz or amethyst stone serves as the handle of this golden bottle opener. A wonderful and unique gift for those obsessed with crystal home decor.
2. PETAL PALETTE MONOGRAM MUG, $10
Personally, I’m always a sucker for a good mug. They’re so useful! These floral monogrammed mugs are sure to put a smile on the face of whoever receives it. Plus, you can’t beat the $10 price tag!
3. BITE BEAUTY BEST BITE REDUX, $25

4. SEPHORA LASH STASH TO GO, $28
This Lash Stash set comes with 5 deluxe mascaras to try and a voucher to redeem a full-sized version of one of the samples provided! Break up this set and give a mascara to each of your friends! Be quick, because these Lash Stash sets always tend to sell out!
