Last Minute Gift Ideas on a Budget

For whatever reason, this year it just does not feel like Christmas. I am still amazed that Christmas is right around the corner. With that being said, the stores seem to be busier then ever with last minute shoppers struggling to find the right gifts for those on their Christmas list.

So, I thought I would help out all you last minute shoppers with a couple budget friendly gift ideas. You can watch the video here to see two very easy movie themed gift baskets OR check out the list below for some more budget friendly gift ideas.


Here is my Top 10 budget friendly gift ideas that can be grabbed last minute and would be great for anyone on your list.

1.Bath and Body Works Candle (on sale 2 for $22)

2. A book, I suggest Divergent ($9.99 at Barnes & Noble)

3. A set of pajamas (2 piece set $10.79 at Target)

4. A nice robe ($24.99 at Target)

5. A warm throw/blanket, I suggest a fun holiday print, like this one ($8.88 at Walmart)

6. A soft pair of slippers, I suggest these, they are the softest slippers EVER ($26.99 at Target)

7. A gift card, I suggest one from Amazon, that way the recipient can buy what they want. Amazon even has a cool feature where you can email the recipient the gift card (e-gift card) or you can choose the option to print one out yourself. You can also find Amazon gift cards at most stores that sell gift cards, ie. Walmart/Target, etc

8. Home made cookies, muffins, or loaves of bread. 
(Tuck a homemade loaf of bread in a basket with some jam/jellies 
OR
 Pop some homemade muffins in a basket w/ a bottle of champagne and orange juice and add some wine glasses and you have a cute morning breakfast for a couple (you can find wine glasses at the dollar store) 

9. Stationery Kit, for those who love writing letters and cards. Snag a cute stationery kit like this one ($4.97 at Target) Add in some nice quality pens and a book of stamps (usually $9)

10. A nice photo album, everyone likes to take photos. I suggest something like this OR this one ($10.79 and $15.99 at Target)
