ten gifts under $20

We've alllll been there - the work gift exchange where you have no idea what to get the glorified stranger whose name you drew. I know some exchanges even go so far as to do a gift every week leading up to the Christmas party - so much pressure! Anyway, maybe you're not in any sort of exchange (family, work, or otherwise) but I had fun finding gifts for under $20 (many are under $15) that would probably be pretty safe bets for a wide variety of folks. And, if you have any OTHER ideas - I'm always all ears/eyes!

Some of these might be fun for teachers too! As a former teacher I will say that I loved any and every gift I got (yes, even another mug!) which I try to remember when I overthink what to get for the kids' teachers (only because we appreciate them SO much and I want to convey that with a thoughtful gift).

Alright! On with it, Patton.

1. hot/cold Tumbler - there are a million amazing reviews for this puppy that I found while looking for a gift for a coffee loving friend that is always on the go (I don't think she reads the blog but just in case - gotta be vague).

2. Smith's Rose Bud Tin Set - these have stood the test of time - it seemed like all the cool girls had these in middle school and high school (I hopped on board MUCH later) and they are still going strong - for good reason. A tin would last your giftee a whole year - at least! 

3. It's All Good Mug - I bought this from my friend Jolie's shop because I have a few of her other mugs and love them but this one is a little bigger and thicker and great for soup or the (older!) kids when having hot chocolate etc. It's my favorite mug and I never thought I'd have strong feelings about a mug but here we are.

4. Initial Bar Necklace - I love the delicate necklace trend because I can safely wear them without Bosco trying to decapitate me by yanking it off or breaking it. It's just not big enough to catch his eye or tickle his fancy, I guess. 

5. Wireless Headphones - I've decided that a lot of my trivial problems can be solved with the help of wireless headphones. And so - I want to buy them for everyone else, naturally.   

6. faux fur throw - I bought this for our guest room but love it so much that I snuck it down to our bed and it's aaaalmost my version of a grown up blankie because I drag it to the couch when we watch shows or movies but always bring it back to bed with me. It washes really well and still looks brand new, shockingly.

7. Benefit lip and cheek stain - another one that has stood the beauty test of time. A bottle lasts forever and the color stays put.

8. blanket scarf - I don't own this but I wish I did.

9. mini waffle maker - My "we have nothing for dinner!" go-to is always waffles. Sometimes I even blend spinach into the Kodiak Cakes mix and the kids don't question the slight tinge of green (which may or may not speak volumes about my cooking) but I know they would love mini waffles. I mean I think they would.

10. Gourmand candle - I love hoarding candles but hate to buy them for myself and I guess I sort of assume that other people feel the same? Maybe not but it's worth the gamble.

And now for the fun part. One lucky reader that's made it this far down the post will win allll ten of the above items. A little something from me to you (the winner - although I do wish I could send everything to everyone). This post isn't sponsored by anyone - just me, myself and I.

ALSO as a fun little bonus the winner will get a 2017 Stendig wall calendar because I love them so much and wish I could give one to everyone. They are the bomb. And the kids love drawing on the pages when the month is dead and gone. Best.

Okay - that's all. Rafflecopter your little hearts out. There's a 3 day turnaround so that I can try my HARDEST to get everything to you by Christmas in case you want to regift anything (I won't tell a soul) but I can't make any promises (but I will try!!!) and if the first winner does not respond within 24 hours I will move onto the next and SO ON.

Best of luck and thank you ALL for reading, commenting, and being the best of all the rest blog readers on the w-cubed.
