Holiday gifts under $25 | Jesse Ann Kirby

Now is the gift guide season! Although it is time-consuming to create these gift guides, it is also one of my favorite things every year because I like to find the perfect gift for people. I released my gift guide earlier than usual, but due to expected shipping delays, I know that many of us want to be ahead. As the queen of the last moments, I will not take risks this season.

I decided to make some different gift guides this year. There will be six in total. The first three will be under $25, under $50, and under $100. The general consensus among many of you is that you tend to shop at a price point, so I hope this will make things easier. I will provide a gift guide with three extras, one for men (they are stubborn people), one for giving back gifts, and the other for those who have everything. They will all be online within two weeks before the weekend sale on the Internet (I will definitely pay attention to whether the content in the gift guide is discounted at any time).

Like my gift guide, I make sure to include women-owned, BIOC-owned, and small businesses. I also encourage shopping locally as much as possible. Small retail businesses are the lifeblood of our community, and holiday shopping is always a great way to support them.

This is a holiday gift under $25. Happy holidays shopping.

Mingdi Vinegar

As a brand founded by BIPOC women, Brightland owns incredible oil and vinegar made in California. I tried their balsamic vinegar and champagne vinegar. They are delicious in seasoning and cooking. A great gift for anyone on your list who likes cooking.

Brandy Vinegar

Hand cream set

The best worry-free hand cream. Especially in winter, I make sure to always have this on hand. Super moisturizing, fast absorption, non-greasy. Even Craig uses it, and he likes that it has no fragrance.

Brooklyn Candle Studio

One of my favorite non-toxic scented candles. It is subtle and simple, with sage, lavender and spruce scents. Brooklyn Candle Studio candles are cruelty-free, vegan, environmentally friendly and ethical candles produced in Brooklyn, New York.

Birthstone jewelry

I like these exquisite glass ornaments inspired by handmade birthstones. They are made in Washington and are particularly unique because the glass of each decoration is infused with cuttings from the eruption of St Helens Volcano in 1980.

Rhinestone headband

Without the infamous rhinestone headband, it would not be a holiday gift guide. With this beautiful and shiny headband with comfortable padded lining, there is no better way to add fun to your holiday style. Choose rainbow, gold, silver or black (I have silver). A great gift for anyone in your life, you can use a little spark during the holidays.

Kosas wet lip oil plump and shine

The most beautiful moisturizing lip gloss, non-sticky. It contains hyaluronic acid, which helps to lock in moisture, leaving lips feeling smooth and moisturized. If you are a fan of lip gloss, this one is great. I have jellyfish (transparent). Sephora’s large beauty sale will start this Friday, so please save your shopping cart until then (I will share it during the live broadcast!).

Talula skin care body butter

This black female brand is always my first choice for recommending gifts. Talula body butter is rich, creamy, ultra-moisturizing, non-greasy, and very suitable for sensitive skin (including eczema). It is scented or unscented (the scent is very good and subtle).

Follain soap and hand cream duo

For the duo of Follain soap and hand cream, this is an amazing price. A great little non-toxic suit that can be used as a housewarming and holiday host gift. I am a big fan of Follain Almighty Soap, both scents smell great.

Swedish rag

These are one of my holiday gifts because they are so cute and everyone loves them! Choose from a large number of printed materials, they are reusable, compostable and biodegradable. They can usually be used for 1-2 months, but can be used for up to 6 months, and can be washed in the dishwasher.

Personalized dog collar

Last year I bought these personalized dog collars for Nora and Fuji (I can’t get rid of Nora). They are of high quality and I like to have so many color combinations to choose from. They are also easy to clean. If you buy 2 or more, they only cost $15 each! Embroidery is free, you can add their name and contact number.

Bunny

Marin has a series of cute blankets, but nothing can compare with the jellycat brand. They are the softest, with a bunch of cute animals and colors to choose from. I always give these as gifts to newborns.

Name puzzle

Marin received this Etsy name puzzle as a gift last Christmas, which is a cute little ornament in her bedroom. As one of her first puzzles, she also likes to play with it. It is handmade, non-toxic and customizable.

Uncle Goose Building Blocks

My brother sent several sets of these blocks to Marin, and I was very impressed. They are of high quality, sustainable manufacturing and non-toxic. They are also made in the United States. From marine life to dinosaurs to planets, there are many lovely choices. I really like that they also use very little, low-waste packaging.

Animal paw slippers

These animal paw slippers from LL Bean are very cute. Choose from bears, rabbits, Maine moose or sharks. They have cushioned insoles and anti-skid pedals at the bottom.

Skida Alpine Neckwarmer

You may remember the Skida neck protector from last winter. This is one of my favorite cold weather accessories. They also have styles suitable for children. Marin actually likes to wear her neck protectors, and I like them to keep her face warm and protect her from the cold.
