11 Meaningful Secret Santa Gifts Under $20
Help! We've Got Kids

Warm sweaters, baking, and Christmas carols by the fireplace signify the holiday season. It's a time to see family and to appreciate everyone close to us, but as we all know, buying presents for all of our loved ones can be expensive. The best solution: Secret Santa. Everyone gives a gift, and everyone gets a gift. The only downfall is the traditional spending limit, tending to make gifts not personalized and not well thought out. Here is a list of meaningful (girly) gifts for under $20 that will be appreciated.

Gold dots insulated tumbler -- $18.00

The perfect accessorized cup that anyone will love.

Blanket scarf -- $12.49

Why just get a regular scarf when you can get a blanket scarf?

Keurig 15-count K-cup Christmas tree -- $12.99

You could just buy a box of K-cups, but then you fall into two problems: you don't have an assortment of flavors, and you don't have a Christmas tree shape.

Godiva cocoa gift set -- $12.99

Everyone loves Godiva chocolate.

Monogrammed kitchen towel set -- $13.99

Monograms make any gift personalized and genuine. Kitchen towels are always a necessity.

The Hungover Cookbook -- $9.99

If whoever you picked to give a gift to isn't a toddler, this cookbook from ModCloth will help cure headaches and nauseous stomachs. Especially intended for those who get a little out of control during the holidays.

Travel-size Bath & Body Works lotion trio -- $12.00

Because one bottle of lotion isn't enough.

Twisted peppermint candle -- $12.50

If the body lotion isn't an option, go for the candle. Scented candles make everyone happy, even when they aren't burning.

Bangle bracelet with initial and birthstone -- $18.00

If you're really trying to win the best gift of the year, this is your best bet. Personalized by both an initial and a birthstone, this bracelet shows you care enough to go above and beyond. Usually, jewelry like this would be much more, but this Etsy item stays within the budget.

Stemless acrylic wine glass -- $20

This set of two 16 oz. stylish wine glasses made of plastic instead of breakable glass are perfect for both indoor and outdoor activities.

"Make Good Art" by Neil Gaiman -- $9.49

Inspirational Bible quotes are always an option for a meaningful gift, but the encouraging message conveyed through this commencement speech will really stand out. It's not only about art; it's about motivation and ambition. It's perfect for anyone in high school or college, or a recent college graduate.

If push comes to shove, the stereotypical gift card is always an option. But it better be for their favorite restaurant or store.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
