As Seen On Kathleen

Hi guys! I'm sure you're already sick of seeing Christmas stuff everywhere you go and all over your IG feed (and it's not even December yet) - I know I'm starting to feel that way! I feel like there's a lot of pressure around Christmas, especially being a blogger, and I'm trying not to let that pressure get to me because it's really not what the holidays are about. I feel like everyyyyyyone and their mother is posting gift guides and it's just a lot right now. I haven't even gotten all the glitter from Halloween out of my hair yet! Hahahaha. But seriously, good for them for being ahead of the game! I just can't keep up with that and don't want to stress about it.

I do want to be a resource for you guys as you do your holiday shopping, though! That's why I took a poll on my IG story to see if you were interested in seeing a White Elephant gift guide, and you were! If you don't know what a white elephant gift exchange is, check this out. It's like a fun, competitive twist on Secret Santa and you can get really creative with it.

Even if you aren't participating in a white elephant exchange, this guide would be great for when you're shopping for that random person in your life that you buy a gift for every year, but don't have a super close personal relationship with. You could use it for your boss, your neighbor, your kids' teachers....you get it.

So here ya go! Here are all of my under $25 gift recommendations:

Heated Shiatsu Massager

I don't think I know anyone who wouldn't be thrilled to receive this. It can be used on your back, your neck, calves, pretty much anywhere and it's heated. This is the type of gift that gets "stolen" every turn at the white elephant!

Charging Stand

This is such a good one and it's not something that people would normally buy for themselves. It comes in three different colors too!

Customizable Makeup Organizing Case

This makeup case is an Amazon favorite and under $20! You can move the pieces around to make the compartments whatever size you'd like. Plus, there's plenty of pockets for brushes too.

Toothpaste Dispenser

Sounds silly, but could be so useful! It's bound to get a couple laughs out of your coworkers at the White Elephant too. This one also comes with a toothbrush holder - keeps germs away from your toothbrush!

Wine Glass Holder

Drinking a glass of wine in the bathtub is one of my favorite ways to decompress at the end of a long day and this would actually be the perfect stocking stuffer for me *hint hint*. It would also be cute gift for girlfriends or coworkers!

Inverted Umbrella

Again, kind of silly but I have one of these and it's amazing. When you close it, the way it folds up prevents the water from dripping on you, your car, the floor, etc. Plus, it has a convenient hook so you can hang it!


I hope you guys have found this guide helpful and I look forward to doing more! What other gift guides would you want to see? Let me know in the comments!

XO,
Katie
