60+ Gift Ideas that are $100 or so or less
And are guaranteed to please
It’s the fourth night of Hanukkah, just about two weeks until Christmas, and we are in the thick of White Elephant/Office Party/Holiday gatherings. I have words for whoever decided to make the busiest time of the year also the most social. Imagine if gift giving season was in February, wouldn’t that be nice? Along with no more daylight savings? Here’s a quick gift guide with items ranging from $1.94 to $150 - and sorry if I have a thing for scented presents. I don’t pick favorites, but my number ones live here.
Enjoy!
