Tis The Season



December is finally here, which means it’s time to deck the halls, bake cookies, and yes shop for gifts. If you find yourself a little light in the wallet like many people going into this holiday season, don’t worry you can still find the perfect presents for the whole family at a price you can afford. If you are feeling a little stuck on what budget friendly gifts to get for everyone on your list, take a look at these great gift items all $20 or less. 
 
For Him

Men can be tricky to shop for, particularly if they give you the “I don’t want you to get me anything” speech. So whether you are shopping for your significant other, father, uncle, or brother my suggestion is to stick to practical items they can use. When possible try to give these practical items a personal twist.

For example, check out these shot glasses, coffee mugs, and travel mugs by American Expedition. These mugs come with various outdoorsy designs on them such as ducks, deer, fish, and dogs. If the men on your list enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or perhaps something a little stronger at night, this is the gift you need to grab. 

Have a hunter in the family? Or perhaps just a camo crazy brother? While a hunting jacket or pants may be out of your price range, try these useful hunting hats and gloves all in various camouflage patterns. These are perfect for keeping warm in the cold outdoors whether they are out hunting or on the job. 

 Got a Duck Dynasty Fan in the family? Then these Duck Dynasty shirts are the perfect Christmas gift! Nothing is more practical than clothes and with these Duck Dynasty inspired sayings they are sure to be a great hit. Plus, for $9.99 how can you refuse? 

A piece of the Carson Red Nek Party Collection also makes a great gift for the family members with a sense of humor or a red neck side to them.  These unique glasses are a great conversation starter and are perfect for those on your shopping list that enjoy hosting a few get-togethers.





For Her

So women are generally easy to shop for- just get them jewelry right? While jewelry is usually as safe bet finding something they don’t already have might be a little difficult. If they are hypoallergenic to certain metals finding something might be even harder to find. If you’re worried about hypoallergenic issues, check out these cute Silver Forest earrings. What’s even better is they’re made in the USA. 





For some truly unique jewelry, check out the Jody Coyote Collection. Many of these pieces are made right in Oregon, USA!

What woman doesn’t like candles? These Beanpod Candles make great gifts. They come in tons of amazing scents, and they are a soy wax candle so they burn cleaner and last longer. These candles are perfect for the environmentally conscious female on your holiday shopping list. 

For busy moms a calendar to keep a full schedule organized is the perfect gift. Whether she is into the beautifully panted landscape Lang calendars or perhaps a calendar of her favorite dog breed these calendars are both functional and personal.

For the Kids

If your child loves to experiment these Science Kits by Toysmith are a must have for this holiday season.  They’ll have lots of fun building a rocket, growing a crystal, or building a weather station!
For the children on your list who love to cuddle, why not give them a new favorite stuffed animal from Douglas and Co. These animals are extremely soft and cute, making them impossible for little kids to resist.


  
For the budding book worm, shop our selection of over 100 children’s books, just $3.99 a piece! We’ve got the favorites like Amelia Bedelia, My Little Pony, Danny the Dinosaur, Batman and more.
For the young cowgirl, these cowboy kickers are the perfect thing to keep a baby’s feet warm. With three cute styles, what’s not to love?


Pets

If you are like me and hang stockings up for the pets in your family then these make great stocking stuffers and most are well under $20- meaning your wallet AND your four legged friend will love you this holiday season. 

For the feline family members check out our collection of catnip filled toys. These toys are perfect for keeping them entertained and providing you with some laughs Christmas morning.





For man’s best friend we carry a ton of durable dog toys from Kong at prices you’ll love. These toys will have your dog playing hard long after Christmas is over. 


For the horses, what better gift than horse treats? Whether you use them to teach new tricks, reward them after a ride, or just spoil them every time you’re at the barn, they are sure to appreciate these tasty gifts.  On a more practical side wormers make a good Christmas gift for the horses (or fellow horse owners) in your life. It may be winter but maintaining worms is still a priority. My suggestion is to give this gift to your horse first then spoil them with treats to make them forget about the awful goop you just shoved in their mouth. 


If all else fails, why not give a gift card? With amounts as low as $10, these make great gifts for the hard to buy for people on your shopping list.
