birthdays. i have so many of my friends and loved ones in december and january (hence this post hehe). in between getting gifts for Christmas and celebrations for NYE, it can be hard to stay on budget while also making sure its a meaningful gift that your recipient will enjoy. here are my seven suggestions:

16 oz. coffee flask ($25)
For the coffee (or tea tbh) lover in your life, this is definitely the gift to get. Not too small or big, this is the perfect size. It can hold hot beverages for up to 12 hours and cold ones for 24. It’s also BPA and PHA free! buy it here!

cute lamp from smoko ($16)
for your friend that has a weakness (or *cough* obsession) for cute things this is definitely the place to shop! i feel their lights are my personal suggestion but they also sell corgi slippers and cute airpods cases. buy it here~

puravida bracelet ($8.25)
“life is fashion” gift your stylish friend a braided bracelet from pura vida. I love simple and dainty accessories. better yet you can purchase two, match, and have it become a friendship bracelet! buy it here!

starbucks gift card
a classic gift that i never get tired of. if you’re anything like me, you’re a broke college student who functions on coffee. whether its to help me get through a late night writing an essay or to treat myself out, starbucks always satisfies my cravings. also, you can create it completely online and send it through imessage or email- perfect for any long distance relationships. check it out here

mildliners
for your studious or stationary obsessed friend this is a great gift. i love the variety of soft, pastel colors it comes in. not only can it be used to highlight but can be used to hand letter if you’re into creative journaling! they are water resistant, double ended, and doesn’t bleed through. buy it here~

happy socks
if you have an inside joke with your friend or want to gift something a bit more personalized, consider gifting socks! on happy socks they offer a variety of different designs. your friend will stay warm during the cold months and wear a statement piece. It’s nicely packaged and they have a 40% off and free shipping on selected items right now. check it out here

itunes/google play gift card
Of courses, since this is on twirlingpages I couldn’t forget this one. it’s perfect for your friend who loves to read. instead of guessing which book they would like, they can choose any book at their own time and liking to purchase! it’s a win-win while also staying on budget.
if you have need any other ideas, feel free to drop a bit of info in the comments below and i will do my best to find the perfect gift for your friend/loved one!
happy holidays!
much love,

This is a really fun post! Most of my friends’ birthdays are in September and October, so I always go broke around that time 😀 For some reason, socks have been THE gift- I think we’re just at that age that socks are appropriate gift! So yeah, Happy Socks sounds really fun and perfect for my friends!
