I’m gonna let you all in on a little secret. This is not the post I had planned for today. Not even in the slightest, but some things are out of my control. I would tell myself to “stop and drink the rose,” but it’s way too early for those shenanigans.

Anywho, onto the good stuff. This particular list is filled with holiday gifts you can pick up for under $50. They are perfect for your best gal pal, the woman who shares your office space or you sweet sister!

I treated myself to this grey suede crossbody bag from Old Navy earlier this week and I’m here to tell ya, it’s the perfect size. Speaking of size, the people over at ASOS weren’t messing around when they made this blanket scarf. Someone on Instagram actually asked me where I got my blanket. In her defense, it was folded up next to me because I was using it as such – it’s huge! You’re probably wondering why there is an egg tray on this list and honestly, I just couldn’t help myself. I think it’s adorable and would look way better in the refrigerator than the styrofoam carton. Pretty jewels? That’s a no-brainer. Dare I say that Bauble Bar’s Holiday Collection is my favorite one yet?

SHOP THE POST:

I’m looking forward to a relaxing and productive weekend…and the first snowfall of the season! I feel as if I’m stuck in a vicious cycle of weekends where I go, go, go and wear myself out to the point where I don’t want to do anything but hole up when the next one comes around. Does anyone else struggle with this?
