So you might not have thought it was possible, but I found several cheap gift ideas that are super cute and stylish.
1) Rainbow stone crystal necklace
I can’t believe this pendant is less than $10! It is absolutely gorgeous. I’m not sure what type of packaging it comes in, but at this price you can always buy a nice box to put it in.
2) Soft, warm chunky knit trendy hat

With the cold weather here these hats make the cutest winter accessory. They range in price depending on which color you pick.
This same brand also offers messy bun hats. I’ve been wanting to make one but have been so busy blogging and for $6 I think I’ll just buy my own 😉
A versatile scarf that can be worn a number of ways. This scarf may be cheap in price, but according to reviews the quality is not!

They offer a bunch of fun prints, inspirational quotes, and art printed on dictionary paper.

I know what you might be thinking, a lunch bag really? Not only is this a budget friendly gift idea, it’s unique.

Use this compact device in your home to check the weather, call people, listen to audiobooks, stream music, and so much more. It pairs with Alexa to turn your lights on and off, call for pizza delivery, and lock your doors. How cool is that?!

This is the exact same red stand mixer I have and I love it. A perfect gift for a baker/chef, plus you will reap the benefits in the form of more baked goods I’m sure 😉
3) Instant Pot
An Instant Pot is a cheap Christmas gift idea because it is multiple appliances in one. It’s a programmable pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, food warmer, and sauté-er (if that’s a word). You see them on a lot of gift guides because they are that great. It’s one of my must-have kitchen items if you want to save time and money.

This is the exact smoker I bought for my husband and we both love using it. We’ve made smoked chicken, salmon, and fall off the bone ribs. My coworker just bought one for his niece and her husband. I love how easy it is to use. Very much a set it and forget it type of appliance.
