Hey Friends,
Today, I decided to share a fun gift guide for those of us who don’t have pockets full of cash to spend on expensive gifts. I polled some of my instagram friends and decided to put together a list of gifts for men, women, and children that are UNDER $25 dollars a piece. Hopefully, this list will spark some great gift ideas for you!
Shopping at Christmas time can be overwhelming (been there, done that). I hope and pray you will remember the true meaning of Christmas without getting caught up in the hustle of shopping. Gifts are supposed to be a gesture of our love – a blessing to the one giving as well as the one receiving (please keep that in mind as you shop this Christmas!).
With that being said… I hope the following list will be a help to you this Christmas season!
Gift Ideas for Women
KJV Beautiful Word Bible – $20
This is a lovely, illustrated Bible for a Christian lady or teen girl. It’s currently for sale on a couple different websites.
Word Before World Memory Journal – $12
This is a delightful little journal created just for memorizing Bible verses. This notebook contains 50 blank pages to jot down memory verses and review them at home or on the go.
Twinkle Lights – $16
These are my FAVORITE twinkle lights for indoors and out. Battery operated, these lights come with several different settings as well as a self-timer feature. They aren’t super bright lights, but they look absolutely lovely with their warm white glow! I have purchased these lights for myself and have given them as a gift.

White Sherpa Throw Blanket – $20
Adam and I received a similar blanket as a wedding present and it is my FAVORITE throw blanket. We use it just about every night and it a constant decorative piece in our room.

Succulents are the perfect plant for the “beginner plant lover” because they are low maintenance and hard to kill. These individual succulent plants are lovely and make an inexpensive (yet lovely) gift for a friend.

I love these organic lip/cheek colors from Erzulie Natural Cosmetics! Made from organic and natural ingredients, these color sticks are moisturizing and look lovely! A simple gift for the beauty lover.

State Map – Starting at $10
This is such a fun gift idea for the traveler or geography lover in the family. I have given my husband a United States map and a Pennsylvania State map and he loves them both! Add a frame with the map or give the map on it’s own. You can spend as little as $10 up to $100 or more for a good map and frame, so choose your price range ahead of time. Etsy is the only place I’ve used to purchase maps.
Engraved Pocket Knife – $23
I love this idea… simply for the personalization. Most men can always use an extra pocket knife!

Would it even be Christmas if there wasn’t a brand new tie under the tree? I’m kidding 😉 but you can’t get anymore classic than giving a tie for Christmas!

I personally love giving books – you never know when a certain book will truly resonate with a person and be life-changing for them! Here are a few suggestions…
