HOLIDAY GIFTS UNDER $50
Kicking off this Monday with another gift guide. The under $50 range seems to be a popular price point for everyone. Hopefully there’s a few ideas in this one that will work for you. I’m definitely shopping from this guide! In case you missed it I published my Under $25 Gift Guide here. Look out for more gift guides this week on the blog plus an exclusive code for a 24 hour sale with ABLE (my newsletter subscribers will be the first to know!).
Here are holiday gifts under $50.
Saie Sun Melt Duo
The BEST bronzer ever. It’s creamy and buildable and gives a gorgeous sun kissed glow. It comes in four shades (I have light bronze). The brush makes it super easy to apply (and it’s a really good makeup brush in general) so this set is the perfect combo. A nice clean beauty gift to brighten up those cold and dark winter days.

Facial Steamer
Say hello to your skincare routine’s new BFF. I got this facial steamer last winter and it is an absolute game changer. Amazing for hydrating and softening skin, and clearing pores, making skincare products more effective. Drop essential oils on to the attachment for a soothing spa-like experience. Have a cold? Use some eucalyptus to help clear congestion.

Sherpa Slippers
These slippers are super cozy and soft. Feels like walking on a cloud, and even better they’re made using polyester recycled from post-consumer plastic which helps keep trash out of landfills.

Merino Wool Socks
I LIVE in Smartwool socks from now through April. Truly they are the best. Super warm and comfortable, perfect for cold weather and great quality. I love that this pair is a “chic” sock (is that a thing?) with the warmth and quality of Smartwool.

Skida Alpine Neckwarmer
I know I won’t stop talking about Skida neckwarmers but they’re so good. They make such a great gift for anyone that lives in a cold climate. I am a fan of the alpine neckwarmer that has a soft fleece lining. They come in tons of really cute prints. There’s also unlined and balaclava styles for cold days on the mountain or cross country skiing in the woods. Oh, and they’re made in Vermont!
Love & Lemons Cookbook
For delicious plant-based recipes I absolutely love this cookbook. Every recipe we’ve tried has been so good. We use it for meal inspiration too. You don’t have to be vegan or vegetarian to love this cookbook.

Embossed Rolling Pins
How fun are these embossed rolling pins? For anyone who loves to bake these would make such a sweet gift. They come in a variety of patterns including some holiday-themed. Just looking at these makes me want to bake cookies.

Custom Pet Portrait
I shared these last year but they were a hit so here they are again. Custom watercolor pet portraits in several sizes starting at 5×7. You can also have one done with you and your pet. You can still order in time Christmas delivery.

Equilibria Relief Balm
This is one of my favorite gifts to give especially for anyone that’s hard to buy for (parents/grandparents come to mind). It’s an amazing topical CBD balm for aches and pains and it works. Everyone I’ve given it to ends up buying more because it’s that good. Use my code JESSANNKIRBY for 15% off your first purchase. Stay tuned because EQ will have some great promos in November and December!
Farmhouse Pottery Match Striker
I bought one of these in the Farmhouse Pottery store on our first visit to Vermont and it’s still one of my favorite purchases. It’s adorable and looks great next to your candles or on the mantle, but it’s also so functional. Handmade in Vermont. It comes with special strike matches too so it’s ready to use!

Follain Candle
My number one favorite candle of all time. I gift it all the time, especially for party hosts, housewarming, engagements, etc. It smells incredible but not at all overpowering. It’s 100% non-toxic made with sustainable coconut and soy wax and essential oils. Use JESSANNKIRBY15 for 15% off your first purchase.

Feminist Merch – OVERSEASONED
The softest sweatshirts and tees, plus tea towels and baby onesies with feminist sayings from woman-owned brand Overseasoned. I wear my “Root for Women” crewneck sweatshirt all the time, it’s warm and comfy too.

Mermaid Print by Justina Blakeney
Justina is so talented and I love everything she does. Her art prints are fun and gorgeous. This would be cute in an office or kid’s room. There’s an incredible collection of affordable prints on her site curated from diverse artists.

Walnut Desktop Calendar
This is one of my go-to gifts for all kinds of occasions (including holidays) and you can not beat the price at $35. It’s always a hit and the quality from Artifact Uprising is great. Customize each month by uploading your own photo and choose from multiple font and foil styles. Plus I love that you can buy the calendar refill pack the next year and customize it with a whole new set of photos.
L.L. Bean Tote
The do-it-all tote from L.L. Bean makes a great gift. It’s so versatile, we use ours for everything from beach to boating, and now it’s Marin’s school bad. Monogram it or add a name, and it comes in several sizes. I love that it has a zip top too.

Fleece Mittens
These cozy fleece mittens will keep hands warm and toasty all winter long. They come in four colors (honestly can’t even pick a favorite) and would be great for cold morning walk. Makes a dog walk in the bitter cold got a little less painful?

I had a wall old match striker in the country that was lost and I loved it so much . I just got this but kittens and candles need watching . I am so excited and I’ll be very careful that my candle is covered . It’s so perfect. A little bit of Vermont again . Yea! I used to go to Frog Hollow in Middlebury , VT near the College where they had such beautiful things by local Artists. Such a cute college town . Not like Woodstock but nice and full of life with the College kids . Good memories.
