Gifts under $50 – Gifts that sparkle for under $50….

The Holidays are for sparkle! I personally love to wear a bit of bling everyday – sometimes it’s subtle and sometimes it’s a bit bolder. I love to receive a great jewelry piece but I love to give a great accessory, too!

What I love so much about jewelry is that it can really transform an outfit from day to night or it can just spruce up a very basic outfit. A touch of bling can also really show off your personality.

I have rounded up my favourite gifts that sparkle and they are all under $50 …..

Sparkle Gift Guide

  1. Dorado wrap bracelet
  2. Essential sculptural bangle
  3. Attica multi-wrap bracelet
  4. Delicate Horn necklace
  5. Love necklace
  6. Ulani ring
  7. Pave Orbital Ring
  8. Essential Hoops (gold or silver)
  9. Star Climber Earring
  10. XOXO studs

Why I love these gifts….

These are some of my personal favorite pieces. I wear these regularly – to work or on a date night. I love for different reasons – the horn necklace is perfect for someone who loves to layer. The hoops are a classic (I have them in silver and gold) – they are a great day to night transition piece. The sculptural bangle is another classic that I often wear with my hoops – it’s very simple but so chic (I also love the gold version). The Ulani ring (which is on a HUGE sale right now) is very minimalist but so unique – it’s perfect for someone who likes to be different but still simple. The pave orbital ring – I wear almost everyday! It is very flattering on – it can be worn everyday or for special occasions.

The Star Climber earrings are subtle but a bit edgy with a touch of bling! When I don’t want a simple diamond stud – I reach for these….The XOXO studs are a great gift for a teen or pre-teen girl – so cute! For someone who loves an arm party (ie stacking bracelets) both the Attica and the Dorado are great options – as they are one piece but they look like you have multiple bracelets on – so chic and I get a tone of compliments on my Attica (also the clasp is magnetic – so it’s really easy to put on and take off)…The Love necklace is also a great layering necklace (the cursive script is really cute) and a great gift for a teen or pre-teen (they also have matching hoops and it comes in silver or gold) – who doesn’t love love?

To give the gift of sparkle you really don’t have to drop a small fortune – you can add some bling on any budget ….

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and yes, gifts aren’t the only way to express your love but they are a sweet way to show your friends and family and express your love for them.

Valentine’s Day gifts don’t have to be expensive or lavish – a small and simple little something is often best! Here are some of our favourites….

Valentine’s Day Gift Guide

The simple design of this mug makes it a lovely gift for anyone The ‘Love’ Mug by Ed Ellen Degeneres crafted by Royal Doulton  

 

One of my favourite gifts to give (any time of the year) is a book. I often give my kids books for birthdays, Christmas and other holidays.  For this Valentine’s Day, a book might be a great idea for your little ones….Pete the Cat: Valentine’s Day is Cool

 

Chocolate is a classic but I love these limited edition ‘Be Mine’ Tic Tacs – these are great for a class party or office colleagues….

 

Laugh a little …with these cute pillow covers – Couples pillow covers

 

For the LEGO lover …. this Valentine’s Day LEGO kit is just too cute! I know my son would love it! LEGO Bricks Valentine’s Cupid Dog

 

Don’t forget about ‘Galentine’s Day’ – I love these fun wine labels they add some humour and sass to a girl’s night out. Be My Galentine wine labels.

 

 

I often purchase a small token for each of my kids on Valentine’s Day and I have to say I love getting their homemade crafts and cards (I know they put so much effort and love into creating them, too). I know there are a lot of ‘haters’ when it comes to Valentine’s Day but remember that this day is not just about romantic love it’s about all love – love for your family, your friends, your pets and maybe even teat yourself!
