Christmas is right around the corner and honestly you should already have your gifts because Black Friday has already passed. I mean, did you not Christmas shop when literally everything was on sale? You could have shopped online if you didn't want to get dragged into the craziness. Maybe you just shopped for yourself. Either way, now you're stuck and have to buy things at their ridiculous full price so here are some simple ideas that you can hopefully find at cheap prices. Good luck!
1. Scarves and/or hats
Literally, the easiest thing to get. Men and women wear them, they're typically under $10 and it's winter so whoever you give them to, will wear them. If you're talented you could even make your own scarf to give. It's probably best to stick with neutral colors so they can be worn with most outfits.
2. Cosmetics
Maybe not the best for everyone but if you have a little sister, she can use chap stick. If you have an older cousin, and you're worried about matching her skin tone, she would love some cosmetic brushes or sponges. If you have a daughter, give her one of your favorite colored lipsticks because its hard to find good colors and you probably have similar skin tones. If the world of makeup terrifies you, just give her a gift card to Ulta.
3. Pajamas
Everyone wears pajamas and if they don't, then gift them some so they can stop scaring their roommates. You don't even need to know their size for this one but just keep in mind that bigger is better.
4. Soap
It's usually cheap and as long as it's not such a strange scent, they'll use it. It's easy and typical. Also, if you don't like them, include a note saying "Smell better next year"
5. Subscriptions
You do have to know the person a little better to do this one but it could be a really thoughtful awesome gift or a really horrible joke. I'm not responsible for anything that comes from this recommendation. Some ideas for nice subscriptions are beer of the month or monthly makeup bags. (I kinda like makeup)
6. Tickets
Do they love football? Do they love music? Do they fly a lot? Buy them a ticket to go to a favorite concert or sports game. It might not be the cheapest thing ever but it would make their Christmas.
7. Food
It could be leftovers or it could be something you made. It could even be a box of their favorite candy or a gift card to their favorite restaurant. Everyone needs to eat, why not make it their Christmas present.
8. Water Bottle
Everyone needs to drink water and the average American adult doesn't drink enough water. So a stylish water bottle is the perfect gift. They can take it to take to work or school. It's a great way to show someone you care about their health and it's typically a cheap buy.
9. Christmas Cards
For those of you who care more about money than you do about your friends, just make a handmade Christmas card. It's the thought that counts, right?
10. Money
Money is the easiest gift to give. Forgot to buy one for your friend and need one last minute? Give money. Don't know them well enough to give a good gift? Give money. Can't afford something? Give a little money.
Merry Christmas and may all your gift dreams come true.
