When we popped into a shop the other weekend to grab a gift for a friend we were shocked to find there was nothing under $50 to pick from! Since when did $75 become the new $50 for gifts?
We don't agree and with things like "cossie livs" and "shrinkflation" dominating our feeds this year we thought it apt we provide a Gift Guide where everything is $50 and under!
Here are our top $50 and under picks from our range for this holiday season:
$25 Gift Card
A Gift Card is best for a work mate, secret santa, or friend that is part wider friendship circle. Its simple and everyone always happy to receive a gift card to somewhere new!
$35 Plate
We purposefully sized our ceramic plates at 20cm to be able to used as a multifunctional item in the home versus just for dining. We use the plates around our own home for our jewellery, candles, etc. Due to their multifunctional uses it means that just one plate makes the perfect gift as you don't need an entire set of plates for these to be used. They are the perfect colourful home decor addition and easy for your friend to choose how they want to use in their own home. Offered in three colours there are plenty to choose from depending on what colour your friend prefers most.
$35 Photography Print
We have two photography prints with the smaller sized prints both being offered at $35. These are a great gift for the friend looking for unique artwork in their home and something that isn't generic and seen elsewhere. We took the photos ourselves on 35mm film so they aren't prints you will be able to get anywhere else. This means they will be a unique gift to your friend and still under the $50 budget!
$50 The Grocery Bag
Our final gift offering for $50 and under is our Grocery Bag. This bag was designed between ourselves and a friend and was screen printed by hand at a local business a friend owns close to where we are based. Not only does the bag have a unique design offered only by us but it also supports local businesses by being printed locally and also is a great option for your eco-friendly friend with the intention of the reusable bag to be to help reduce single use plastic bags.
With 6 products to choose from all $50 and under we hope you can find something for your friends that doesn't drain the bank. And if on a tighter budget than this a heartfelt note and quality time is something we personally will always treasure more than anything!
