Best Affordable Christmas Gifts for Your Friends

Best Affordable Christmas Gifts for Your Friends

By Katherine Sullivan

We only have 16 more days until Christmas, so it’s just about 2 weeks away. Here are some gifts you can get your your friends if you’re running low on time. The items on this list are easy to get in store or online and they aren’t too pricey.

Mugs

Mugs are nice for hot chocolate and coffee any time of the year. There are so many designs and quotes you are able to find on mugs. You can even bring one back as a souvenir from a trip. Some stores where you can find nice but affordable mugs are Anthropologie, Pier 1 Imports  and Target.

POP Key chain

These key chains have become very popular lately. They are small figurines made to look like movie and TV show characters, animals and much more. Each one costs about 13 to 14 dollars.

Phone Case

A new phone case is always nice to get. When you have the same case on your phone everyday, something different is nice. There are so many different types of cases. Some are combined with a wallet and others are 3D, not just flat and square. You can buy an affordable one from Charlotte Russe in the mall or a phone store. This should only cost you about 15 dollars.

Jewelry

Earrings, necklaces and bracelets are also great gifts. An idea for this would be something with their first initial on it. Places where you can buy affordable jewelry are Forever 21 and American Eagle.

Movies

This is a gift you can buy or go watch at the theater. Many new movies will be coming out around Christmas time along with all of the classic Christmas movies.

10-15 Dollar Gift Card

Everyone can use a gift card, whether it’s for iTunes music, the app store, a bookstore or clothing store. These are nice because it allows them to buy something specific.

Books

Books, especially fiction ones are great gifts for anyone who loves to read . Some popular book series right now are The Selection, The Mortal Instruments, The Uglies, Legend, The Maze Runner and The Lunar Chronicles. To get a good price on new books go to Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Baseball Hat

Hats are nice gifts, especially baseball hats because they are casual. Bluetique, on the square, has hats printed with the state of Kentucky on them and sometimes monogrammed ones too.

CD’s

Even though CD’s aren’t needed anymore because most of us have an iPod or cellphone, some people still enjoy having a copy of their favorite artists album without it being electronic.

Candy

Candy is always a good gift that everyone loves. Most people would like getting a chocolate bar or a bag of sour patch kids, M&M’s or skittles. 

Time

The best gift you could ever give someone is your time. Spending time with people is the best way to show them what a great friend they are to you.
