Favorite Things - Budget Version

It's gift giving season, and all of the kids' gifts have been purchased and wrapped.  Their wants leaned heavily towards electronics, so it was pretty boring crossing off items from their wishlists.  I thought I'd share some fun gift ideas that I've seen around that won't bust a hole in your Christmas budgets(under $30 each,) should you find yourself looking for just a few more stocking stuffers.

For your girlfriends:  A Lily Puliltzer iPhone cover from See Jane Work.

For your favorite baker:  A HomeMade Cookie Stamp from fredflare.com.

Or a fantastic Pink Ribbon Retro Style Apron from the etsy seller ApronQueen.  She has some amazing designs.

For the guy in your life who's just a big kid:  A Hand Grenade USB

Or Salt & Pepper Robots.  Both of these are from Think Geek.  I love going there for really unusual items at great prices.

And what's this baker's favorite budget gift to give?  Cookies of course.  Here's one of last year's baskets.  Find the ornament gift tag tutorial here.

I have no affiliation with any of the mentioned shops and have not been perked or paid for the mentions.  I just think there stuff is really cool.  Thanks for popping in and shopping with me.  I'm linking this up to Nester's Favorite Things and Polohouse's Favorites on the First.
