Affordable Holiday Gift Guide: $35 and Under | Ingrid Nilsen

There are SO many gift options to choose from right now and it can definitely get overwhelming trying to figure out what to get while also honoring your budget. In my experience, I’ve found that “affordable gift guide” lists often feature items that are random and don’t feel personal. To make this process a little easier for you, I put together a selection of unique, thoughtful and sustainable gifts that are all $35 and under. I’ve had first-hand experience with all of these recommendations, so I *know* they’re awesome and stand the test of time. It can be easy to get caught up in the allure of fancy presents (I’ve been there!), but if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years it’s that giving a great gift isn’t about the money you spend, it’s about the time and care you put into it. I hope this guide inspires you with ideas for the people in your life, but most of all, I hope it reminds you that you don’t need a lot to make someone feel seen, appreciated and loved.

P.S. I’ve started vlogging! Week 1 of Vlogmas will be up on 12/4 at 2pm EST. GET READY!
