Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts Under $30

My Holiday Gift Guide series continues tonight with gifts under $30. Enjoy!

Georgetown Cupcake Christmas Collection ($29.00)-I can't think of a better gift for someone with a sweet tooth. These cupcakes are delicious and so beautifully decorated that the person who you're giving them to might not want to eat them! You can either customize your own box or pick one of the pre-packed assortments that they have like this one. If you don't live in the DC area, you can just go pick something up at your local cupcake shop or make your own. That could be fun!

Birchbox 3 Month Subscription ($30.00)-You guys probably could have guessed that this would be on one of my gift guides. I've been getting Birchbox for almost a year now and have no plans to cancel my subscription any time soon. For those of you who aren't familiar with Birchbox, you receive 4-5 beauty samples from luxury brands each month in the mail. So the person you buy this for would get a box of samples every month for 3 months.

J.Crew Golden Stripe Bracelet in Mint ($29.50)-This bracelet caught my eye the other day when I was waiting in line to make a return. I almost bought it for myself, but decided to wait since Christmas is just around the corner. My store only had the mint color, but online it's also available in navy, yellow, and red.

Philosophy The More The Merrier Set ($20.00)-This set comes with four bottles of the shampoo/bubble bath/shower gel in different holiday scents and then it also comes with a marshmallow scented lip gloss. I will warn you that their glosses are pretty sticky. So if the person who you're buying for doesn't like sticky glosses, you might want to consider getting her a different set (they have plenty of different sets available).

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Travel Duo ($29.00)-This perfume has notes of sambac jasmine, centifolia rose, cattleya orchid, ballerina freesia, and patchouli. I'm not a big fan of floral scents, but I really like this one.

Fresh Mini Sugar Kissing Trio ($28.00)-I've never tried any of these lip treatments, but I have swatched them on my hand and I can tell you that they glided on like butter and all had decent pigmentation. I may or may not have bought this set the other day to give to my husband to put in my stocking :) I pretty much had to because he never would have found it in Sephora on his own!

Lauren Conrad Style Book ($12.66)-This book has lots of great tips on beauty, fashion, and lifestyle and it also has beautiful pictures throughout all the different chapters. Makes for a great coffee table book.

David & Goliath Tees ($24.00)-Love the designs and funny sayings on these tees!

L.L.Bean Ice Cream Ball ($26.95)-Wouldn't one of these be nice for those nights when you're craving ice cream, but are too lazy to drive to the store and get it?

Rubik's Cube Notepad ($12.99)-Maybe it's just me, but I think this is a really cute stocking stuffer idea. Who wouldn't want this sitting on their desk at work? If nothing else, it would probably be a good conversation starter.

Apples to Apples ($18.00)-I don't know of anyone who doesn't like this game. It's fun to play in a group of about 4-6 people and is even more fun if you have a couple drinks in you. I promise it will have your group laughing all night long!
