Holiday Gift Ideas $25 and under

I can't believe the year is almost over. I feel like I just did last year's Holiday Guide. Low budget doesn't have to mean low WOW factor, here are a few ideas for those that are thrifty yet thoughtful!


Live Butterfly Garden


I don't understand why there is a photo of 2 kids on this package because this would be great for anyone of any age. I mean really who wouldn't love to have a gaggle of butterflies flitting about. Especially for those of us with gardens, they can make great pollinators!

$14.25


Recycled Glass Big Bowl Glasses

Recycled Glass Big Bowl Glasses

These pretty glasses are perfect for that stylish eco-minded friend. They can sip organic sulfite free wine while watching the butterflies flittering about.

$24 for a set of 2


Recycled Keyboard Frame


Recycled Keyboard Frame

For the tech lover in your life this 4x6 frame is a great gift. You can give it to them with a photo already in there to remind them that there's life in the meat space - j/k, but not really.

$16.50


Softest Hands Kit

Softest Hands Kit

I'm a big fan of 100% Pure products and absolutely love their hand creams so I was thrilled to see this hand cream set. I know where I would keep my 4: computer, purse, work desk, night table.

$22 for the gift set of 4


Davidson's Tea

Davidson's Tea Bulk, Classic Chai


For the tea snob in your life delight them with a pound of organic chai tea from Davidson's Tea. Chai not their thing? No worries, they have a huge variety teas to choose from.

$13.50 for 1lb





Moleskine Sketch Book

Moleskine Sketch Book


I love pretty notebooks. Moleskine books are one of the best out there. They're durable and make you look good. This notebook is a sketch book but can also double as a journal - you can use it to skournal!

$20.25

Donations
Not really sure what to give the person that has everything - how about giving in their name.


Farm Sanctuary


Bat Conservation International

Children's Defense Fund

Environmental Defense Fund
Lighthouse International

International Rescue Committee


Physicians for Social Responsibility
