The only thing I like less than opening gifts in front of a crowd is watching someone else open my gift. What if they hate it?
Does she really want more socks, soap and scarves? Nope.
Spending more doesn’t equal a better gift or a happier recipient. It’s quality that counts.
Because not only do we have lots of family and friends to shop for at Christmas, but there’s also the girls’ teachers and even bus driver to consider. She’s great!
It sure adds up fast. It also forces Tom and I to be frugal shoppers so we can show more cheer.
So here’s 15 gifts for under $15 that just about anyone would rave over.
How can I be so sure? Because I’ve personally tested and tried all products on this list to my complete and utter satisfaction.
A quality pink Himalayan salt & pepper grinder set
It’s the grinder bit that makes all the difference. I had no idea until I tried it. They look cute just sitting on your kitchen countertop, too!
Power pins push pins magnets, fridge magnets
A girly tape measure
The softer side of tape measures suit me to a tee. This floral/coral one got my heart fluttering. But at $15.95 we’re a dollar over budget.
Ice Chips Candy
And the flavors they come in. Swoon. The pack in the first photo has chocolate brownie, orange cream and root bear float.
Plus, they come in tins. Candy the old-fashioned way. The pack in the picture is $13.90 but Amazon does feature various deals.
Some variety packs come in a 6-pack for about $21.00. You can split them up, too! At that price, I can afford to give one to each of the girls teachers at $3.50 each. (With a coffee gift card of course).
Ice Chips satisfy your sugar cravings and sweet tooth minus the sugar!
Spices & seasonings
Umbrella
And an umbrella isn’t just for rain anymore, everyone is using them to block sun, too!
A high-end bottle of olive oil, vanilla or vanilla beans!
Wall Clock
What can I say? I like to know what time it is. There’s so much on my plate that I have to budget my time carefully. The only way I can do that is being aware of the time.
There’s dinner to make, laundry to do, appointments to get to, a garden to wrap up and then kids getting on and off the bus. Never do I want to be late!
Most homes only seem to have one clock, if that. Personally, a clock in every room is kind of nifty. And clocks don’t have to be expensive. You can pick up cheap ones for $5-$10 at any drug store. Ikea has super cute ones at reasonable prices.
Air plants
Doormat
Doormats welcome visitors to your home and many times are the first impression they get of your dwelling. Why not have an inviting one that is pretty?
Target always has a nice selection of doormats for $12.99. Makes me think I can get a new one every year and not go broke! ALDI’S is another great place to look.
Actually, I like to switch out my doormats so I always have a festive one for each holiday.
Yellies
And the queen was delighted!
So have you heard of Yellies? What about Wrapples? I’m in the midst of deciding if I’m going to get one or both for my daughters this year.
Probably I’ll end of buying both from Walmart at $14.99 each. Then I’ll just have to add the whopping pack of 30 rolls of Scott toilet paper for free shipping to apply.
Toys are fun. And not just for kids as the Queen rightly proves!
Speaking of the Queen, does anyone know if “The Crown” will ever be back on?!?
Magnet clip hooks
Gleen cloths
Need a man gift? How about a Gleen cloth for vehicles and boats! Just $15.00 for a pack of 3 on Amazon.
Christmas ornaments
Favorite movie
Secret code: Grinch
Anne of Green Gables anyone besides me? Actually, as silly as it may seem, this is my favorite movie. David Suchet is my favorite actor, okay?!
