Gift Ideas to have On-hand

I am always looking for great gifts to have on-hand. The biggest stress to me is having to rush out the night before a party and grab a hostess gift. Or forgetting to get something for the piano teacher, the bus driver, the dance teacher, school teacher, you name it,  I have forgotten and it is a mad dash to find something. These are all such great gifts that ANY woman would love. So mark it on your to-do list and grab it when you are out or better yet order it online now while you are thinking about it and thank me later!

Next time you are at Trader Joes- pick up a box of these star shaped cookies and order THIS glass star dish and you have a gift for about $5! You can also find star pretzels HERE.

I am slightly obsessed with THIS new water bottle from SIC. I can fill it up with ice and water before bed and the ice is still there the next morning ready for me to head to the gym early in the morning. My girls even love getting water bottles as gifts. You seriously can not go wrong. I have the large cup HERE, love the colors.

I am overflowing with dishtowels, they are one of my favorite things to buy and change out with the Holidays. I love THIS simple Christmas tea towel from Finding Home Farms. These would make the perfect Hostess gift or to give to a friend.

I never buy candles for myself. I feel like it is like burning money…BUT there is something about lighting a candle in the home. I love it and that it why I love to get them as gifts. I had a friend I worked with and would go to market with. She would always bring a little travel candle with her and light in the hotel to make it smell nice and help her to relax. It made me happy and created a good memory. You can order these yummy candles HERE and HERE (you could even split them up and give them as separate gifts).

Maple syrup and a delicious waffle mix is a very thoughtful gift for a family or even for a male. You can find this great set HERE.

A plant is such a better gift to give rather then a bundle of flowers. It will last so much longer. I have had that mini Fig plant for about a year and a half now, found it at a local floral shop for $20. You could give a rosemary tree too. The real show stopper is the washable paper bag that I put mine in. A real updated look to your typical pot. You can find it HERE.

THIS Metallic Wallet is also made of a paper bag! I love this size because you can put your phone in it. Making it easy to move from bag to bag. This would make a great gift for a busy mom or teacher.

That same company also makes THESE large bags. You can order as many as you want and click them together. I use mine for laundry in our tiny master bedroom. Making these the perfect gift for a new homeowner or a great hostess gift.

I can always use more bags for storage! Such a great gift idea HERE. Anything from THIS company Uashmama would make a great, unique gift.

Here are some other of my favorite items that I own that would make great gifts- all under $20!
