Holiday Fashion Picks Under $50

It is December 1st, which means #blogmas. I just learned about this term yesterday while surfing on Twitter for some cute fashion blogs. You blog everyday for the entire month of December. This for me an opportunity to recreate the Christmas calendar I had when I was a child. Each day I would open a little door of the calendar to find a surprise - a chocolate surprise. So everyday I will reveal a surprise about me, about my Christmas traditions and my picks for Christmas gifts.

Christmas gifts ideas under $50 

I usually set a budget for all my Christmas gifts, but then I always go over budget. I am a horrible shopper for friends, because I end up buying items for myself. Yes, I know. But this year I am doing great. First, I took notes, while spending time with friends and family. I observed what they needed and liked and when I see something that represents them I just get it now, no matter if there is a reason to buy a gift or not. Second, I got most of my gifts before Thanksgiving and online via Etsy. I decided I would want something made by an artist and Etsy has original pieces. I also sell on Etsy (my shop is empty now though). 

What is in this picture?

1. Notebooks - Naughty and Nice: On Sale right now on One Kings Lane. They are $76 for both. So you could give one to a friend and the other one to another friend.

2. Nice matches - On sale on One Kings Lane. If you are like me you use matches to light your candles.  $15 on sale. 

3. Kate Spade 2015 agenda - You can find this agenda on their site, at Dillards or even at Belk ($14). If you don't care that is Kate Spade, Marshalls sells similar ones for $5. 

4. Pineapple Candle: I am obsessed with pineapple objects. I have a giant white ceramic pineapple just because. This one is from Bed Bath and Beyond. Anthropologies also has them in gold. 

5. This cute candle is from Anthropologie: There are different shapes so you can choose. Prices ranges from $24-36. I really want to buy the pineapple but don't know if I ll have any money left. 

6. Gold drinking glasses: If you run to Marshalls now you will find awesome gold trim drinking glasses with lips, with dots, with whatever you want. I don't have space for more glasses but I so wanted to get them. 

7. Coaster: if you like glitters then get those Kate Spade's coasters. They are $30, available at Dillards or on KS's site. 

8. Shopping mug: Oh yeah... How cute is this mug? I actually bought it for a friend and found it at Marshalls for just $2.00. You can also find it on Amazon, but it is more expensive. 

There you go, you can still buy something for your friends for less than $50 and make your friends very happy. Please comment on this blog if you like something in the picture. I am doing a secret giveaway, so subscribe and check regularly this month for a chance to win something in this picture.
