Gift ideas - Under $50

Today's theme is gifts in the $25 - $50 range (or a teeny bit over).  I have divided these into different categories.  Hope you find something you like!

For the home

Bread bin ($29)

Pair this modern, glossy red bread bin with a loaf of homemade bread

Shadow-stripe throw ($49)

Bamboo-cotton reversible throw

Beep-beep 16" pillow ($30)

A fun little Mini Cooper throw pillow

Personalized collegiate placemats ($18 per placemat)

I had to sneak some KU Jayhawks in here somewhere!  If you like these, check out La Plates' other college products--individual plates, platters, and cups.

White ceramic clocks ($34-69)

I love these white alarm clocks, and West Elm is offering free shipping on them too!

For guys

Recycled cardboard animals ($28-58)

This is really the only way that I approve of animal heads hanging on the wall

Motorcycle helmet pencil sharpener ($42)

A manly desk accessory, this helmet is also magnetic!

Men's wool beanie ($29.50)

This charcoal grey beanie is also reversible for a little more versatility

Destruct 3 game ($55)

So this one is really for the whole family, but I think most guys would like it because it involves building and destroying things

For ladies

 

Luminesce earrings ($48.50)

Available in grey or pink, these would add some sparkle to a holiday outfit

Zip-around shopper bag ($35)

Comes in a leopard or snakeskin print and zips into a small metallic pouch that fits in your purse

Heather grey snood ($49.50)

I don't know why they call it a "snood"; this is basically a really cozy infinity scarf

Vogue Living Houses, Gardens, People book (on sale for $47.25)

A large book (400 pages!) that documents 36 amazing homes and gardens -- perfect for your design-loving friends or family members

For kids

Customizable child's name "handwriting" melamine plate - $22

(get a set, one for each child in a family)

Book buggee ($40)

Slide books into the slots on the back of the buggee and load up the front with other toys, then use the attached cord to pull your books along wherever you go

Peep toe ballet flats ($26.50)

Super cute for a stylish little girl!

Domino rally game ($40)

All wood set is colorful and encourages creative thinking

Tomorrow I will post some "if I had the money..." gifts, and then Friday I'll put up some much more reasonably priced stocking stuffers.  Happy shopping!
