The festive season is a chance to reflect on the past year, give thanks for what you have and spend time with loved ones. But the season is also an opportunity to flex your gift-giving skills. You might want to grab your loved ones gifts that are thoughtful. Or practical. Others on your list, you might want to get them something funny.
To help get those gift-giving creative juices flowing, I’m rounding up some items I’m eyeing and buying myself for others (and myself) this holiday season. Oh, and they’re all under $30.
Lanolips Lano Rose Hand Cream, $20.99
This rose-scented hand cream is great to buy for yourself or someone else as a stocking stuffer or Secret Santa present. At 16cm long, it’s small enough to fit in even the tiniest of purses.
Frank Green Ceramic Reusable Bottle, $84.10
Reusable water bottles are a practical gift for someone you notice doesn’t have one. I have this 1000ml-capacity bottle already and I use it daily, filling it with sparkling water.
Kitchen Mama Ergonomic Bottle Opener, now $30.40
Currently discounted by 20%, this ergonomic bottle and jar opener just makes the under-$30 cut. It comes in five colours, including red, blue and green and is particularly helpful for weak hands.
Brown Brothers Prosecco NV, $22
If you’re not sure what to get someone, consider getting them a bottle of prosecco. It’s a festive-feeling drink that appeals to many. And if the giftee doesn’t like it or isn’t drinking, they can easily gift it on. This bottle is low-alcohol with only 14%.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, now $24.80
Though this product’s name says ‘sleeping mask’, you can use it any time of the day for juicy-looking, hydrated-feeling lips. The mask gently melts away dead skin cells, revealing the smooth skin underneath.
Bondi Wash Mist Spray, $24
This mist spray was created with powerful essential oils that kill airborne bacteria and disinfect all surfaces, including fabrics. The giftee can place it in their bathroom to keep it pleasant-smelling or next to their bed so spray on their pillows before bed.
Ikea Fulltalig Candlestick (set of 3), $19
This set of three matte black candlestick holders at varying heights will suit nearly any home decor style, which makes them great for Secret Santa gifts. Bonus: the set looks a lot more expensive than it is.
Palm Beach Collection Sea Salt Mini Fragrance Diffuser, $20.91
This mini fragrance diffuser will have your home smelling like you live by the sea. Though it’s only 50ml, it lasts up to five months. It’s made with eucalyptus, lemon and orange essential oils.
