Affordable Holiday Gift Guide

Hi,kitties!
I know I haven't wrote in a while here, I was just very busy and my camera broke and....excuses,excuses. So, since December is around the corner and also Black Friday (here, in Romania, some retailers had sales last Friday too) and I know many people do some of the Christmas shopping now (myself included). Because,as we all know, I have a small budget, I thought about sharing some ideas I have and I'll give you some examples. This are NOT affiliate links, I don't make any money, bonuses, points or what so ever if you use them, so it's completly up to you.
First of all, pajamas
Everybody needs pajamas right? Weather you get them flannel ones, satin ones, long sleeve or short sleeve, it's up to you. This is definitely a gift suited for someone close to you: someone from the family or your best friend because you have to know how they sleep. My husband, for example, sleeps in t-shirts during winter too, so there's no use I'd buy him a long sleeve pajama.

My favorite one is available on bobomoda.ro at the price of 79.9 lei (about 20 euros)
Next up, wallets
Another thing almost everyone has. I keep putting off buying a new wallet and I would love it if someone would give one for Christmas. This can be an expensive gift also if you chose a leather one.

My favorite wallet is form Meli Melo and it costs 39.9 lei (almost 10 euros)
Scented candles
Every woman I know loves scented candles, so these would also make a great gift. Christmas scents are best for this season.Since we don't have Bath & Body here, I chose some Yankee Candles.

Fireside Treats

Merry Marshmallow

Christmas Memories

There are many more available on yankeeland.ro, but they are pricey too, the big jars are almost 30 euros each!
T-shirts
This is also a gift you can get for almost everyone. From basic shirts to funny ones, you can chose accordingly to each person's character.

I really love the shirts from letrico.ro. They have very cute and funny designs and the shirts are much cheaper than on other sites. I got a shirt for a friend of mine last year and he wears it very often, so he naturally washes it often and the writing didn't came off. One of my favorites is this Grumpy Cat shirt, for only 25 lei (about 6 euros).
 Notebooks
For the avid old fashioned writer, a notebook is always a good idea. I myself still carry a notebook in my bag so I can write down important meetings, bills to be paid, blog ideas, or even phone numbers. Electronic devices are nice, but sometimes you lose all your data, so it's good to have a copy on paper. Or you can use the notebook as a diary, why not?

I found this cute Paris themed notebook on miniprix.ro at the price of 16 lei (about 4 euros).
DVDs
A boxset of a someone's favorite tv show or movies is always a good choice. Here in Romania even more so if you orther them online, because very few tv shows are sold here on the market.

Small gadgets
Ok, so you can't afford to give everybody tablets and e-book readers and stuff like that, but you can always get accesories such as earphones, headphones, a mouse, speakers and small things like that.

I always ahe to replace my earphones for my mp3 player because I lose them or sometimes I even break them (don't ask). These are form emag.ro and I like them because they're pink and cute.
Show tickets
Sometimes people don't want to splurge on show tickets or maybe they don't even know about an event and you can give them tickets to a show you know they'll like.

For example, I have some Smiley fans in my circle of friends and I know they would like to see him live.

Bags
For the fashionistas in your life, a bag or a clutch is always a good choice because women love bags and shoes. I suggest you get this gift only if you know their preferences though.

For now, I crave for this purple gold studed bag from ilovebijoux.ro
Beauty subscription
many times, those beauty subscription boxes are somewhat disappointing for what they have to offer, but I think it would still be a great gift because the person who is going to get it will have a surprise  each month and they get to try new products, so it should be fun.

From what we have in Romania, I would recommend the Pink Box. It's not great, but the others are too expensive for what they offer.

Gift sets
Many cosmetics company have gifts sets for holidays, so you have a large variety to chose from, according to budget.

My personal favorites form the drugstore are the ones from Dove and Nivea, two brand I love.
Books
Yes, old fashioned books. Now is the time to get those pricy art albums or foreign language books one wouldn't normally buy and offer them as a gift.

I got this book last Christmas and let me tell you I quite enjoyed it. It has everything Christmas related from traditions around the world, decorations and related holidays to Christmas books, movies and songs.

Final tip: visit your local Christmas fairs (I suppose everyone has those) and get some handmade decorations, cosmetics, candles or pieces of clothing.
So, that's all I have in mind for these holidays and remember, any gift will be welcomed if you offer it from the heart and you put some thought in it.
