In This Article:

The holiday season is approaching us quickly, meaning that it is also the season of giving to those we love. Our friends and family give up their time to open up their homes to celebrate one of the most wonderful times of the year and the best thing to say thank you is a housewarming gift. These items not only will be a fan favorite at a Secret Santa party, but also are extremely affordable, especially if you happen to be attending multiple gatherings. The best gift is to make someone else's day with a personal handpicked gift and here are some of the best gifts to do so:

1. Capri Blue candle

The Capri Blue Jar Candle is a great addition for a holiday gathering. It lights up a room with its amazing scent and beautifully designed jar. It is sold in multiple different scents and found at Anthropologie for only $30.00. Yes, it is hard to purchase candles at times because everyone has a different taste in scents, but I can guarantee you that you will not go wrong with any scent you choose!

2. Cheeseboard

Wine is one of the most gifted items during the holiday season because everybody loves wine and it always spices up the mood. What's even better is having a monogrammed tote to carry your wine around in! No one likes just carrying a single bottle alone, we always feel as though we have to have it in a bag when we walk into a party. This bag is a great investment that anyone would enjoy having. Only $59.99 for both at Harry & David.

5. Oversized cozy throw blanket

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you.
