Coming up with that perfect gift can sometimes be tricky, especially when you are on a budget. I know I can’t be the only one who ends up resorting to Bath and Body Works sample bottle lotions, the ultimate re-gifted present (because the likelihood of picking the right scent for someone is rare at best and it screams I copped out!). So I’ve come up with a list of some really great items all under $50 (most falling much below that) for you to snatch up for family, friends, and a treat for yourself. Enjoy!

Actually, anything from Bath and Body Works is completely returnable (even w/o the receipt!) in case they don’t like the fragrance and if you have any idea of what fragrances she/he likes, we can help narrow it down. (I work p/t there! lol)
Love the necklace pieces!
