The holidays are supposed to be stress free; not a time to break the bank on presents. These are a few inexpensive gifts that your friends and family will love.

1. Coffee Mug

During the winter everyone loves to cozy up with a warm cup of coffee or a hot chocolate. A coffee mug would be an inexpensive option that is still useful. If you’re willing to spend a little more, we suggest you fill the mug with ingredients to make hot chocolate!

8. Travel Size Fragrance Sets

Lotions and Soups are a great gift that often come in many different scents. However, the full size bottles can be costly. Instead of writing this present off as too expensive just get the miniaturized versions instead!
