Before you stare at this post a little stunned, I promise I’m not the Scrooge of Thanksgiving skipping over the holiday! I start purchasing Christmas gifts the first week of November in order to be budget conscientious and and not have to spend hundreds of dollars in one week and get it all done. It also feels nice to wrap gifts as they come in and check it off my list. 😉
I always like to start with a gift guide under $100 because this knocks so many people off your list that you may not have even thought off. A faux-fur throw for your mother-in-law, a neutral bag for your sister, a pinky-nude gloss for your coworker and a pom pom keychain for your girlfriend. Before you know it, you’ve knocked off half your list and hopefully been able to do it all under $200! *insert praise hands emoji*
I’ve heard amazing things about #8 [like you wake up looking like Jennifer Anniston amazing], #7 is a MUST if your friend lives in a city [they save your feet] and I’m partial to #9 as I think it’s perfect for your desk and pens.
For those also looking to get a few more gifts checked off their list, if you head to the Christmas Shop on the top of my blog I’ll be continually adding my favorite gifts for the season as well as compiling my gift guides so you can have a one stop shop! Another thing to help with your budget shopping? Shopbop is having a surprise sale up to 40% off! Shop it here and my favorites below.
Does anything on this list catch your eye?! Happy gift giving!
Hi Katey!
This post is SO helpful! Are you planning on doing something similar but for men? I always have the HARDEST time picking out gifts for my dad/brother/boyfriend so I would love to know what you had in mind! 🙂
Thanks so much!

Hi Sarah!
Yes I will! 🙂 In about 2 weeks!

At first I really did stare at this post stunned! But I like your reasoning of slowing buying gifts. I think I will try that this year!

I always start my shopping this week too! Between Christmas and everyone I know’s birthdays being in December as well it’s the only way to stick to a budget! I might have to get a few of these for myself though 😉 SO CUTE!
I like to start on my gift shopping in early November, too. It’s easier on the wallet to spread out the purchases, and I also feel a sense of accomplishment getting everything done ahead of time. Thanks for the great, budget-conscious gift ideas!
