Going Christmas shopping with a nearly empty wallet? Fear not. These top ten cute and thoughtful gifts are not only inexpensive, but simple and easy to find.

10. Candles 

Not everyone is a candle lover, but they can easily become an obsession. Candles come in more scents than anyone can imagine and they fill up the room with the warmest and best smells. Yankee Candle is a popular brand and store with many shops in the country. Yes, some of their larger sizes are a bit pricey, but they make sure to have smaller candles around $10 to $16. Seasonal scents such as ‘Cozy by the fire’ and ‘Red Apple Wreath’ are in store now, but Yankee Candle has other year round scents.  

9. Nail Polish 

Sure, we all want nice nails with top-notch quality polish, but not everyone can afford Chanel. A more reasonable choice could be DBT. This brand of nail polish includes chemicals traditionally used to make polish hardier which is made with a formula that resists chipping for up to a week and comes in 32 different shades. This nail polish is $18 and can be found on the rgb cosmetics website. Another good brand of nail polish is Nails, Inc. Not only does this brand leave a luminous glow, but it comes in 150 shades and is sold at Sephora for $9.50. 

8. Fluffy socks

Who doesn’t love warm and cozy feet? Almost everyone enjoys cute, fluffy socks. Both affordable and a great ‘stocking stuffer,’ fluffy socks are a must-have and can be found at stores such as TJMaxx, Walmart, and almost any retail store. Prices will vary from anything $19.99 and under depending on the brand and the store.

7. Gift Cards 

They’re simple, they’re easy to find, and they’re perfect stocking stuffers. Gift cards are a brilliant present idea, especially around Christmas. They are a good choice for secret Santa’s or if you’re looking for something small and reasonable. People may purchase these at almost any grocery store or retail store. Whether you want a specific gift card, or a plain Visa or American Express, people love getting gift cards.

6. Candy

It may seem impersonal, but candy can be a thoughtful gift for someone you aren’t close to, or maybe for a secret Santa exchange. Even perfect for stocking stuffers, candy adds excitement and a little sweetness to Christmas. Pinterest is perfect to search creative ways to present candy, such as cute bouquets of sweets. Candy is cheap and easy to find, sold at almost any store.

5. Jewelry

Many people wear jewelry daily. Even so, many people ask for jewelry for Christmas. Typically, girls swoon over pictures of expensive jewelry made from brands such as Tiffany or Harry Winston. But, not everyone has hundreds to thousands of dollars to spend on a loved one. Luckily, places such as Amazon or Icing has plenty of jewelry at a much cheaper price. For younger children, the jewelry store Claire’s is a great choice.

3. Stuffed Animals

No one gets to an age where they’re “too old” for stuffed animals. Whether you collected Webkinz as a child or got your first Beanie Baby when you were born, we’ve all had stuffed animals, and we all love them. These furry friends with beady eyes are perfect for cuddling and falling asleep next to no matter what age. Stuffed animals are sold at various prices and come in many sizes. They are found at almost any store, but Toys R Us has a larger collection than others.

2. Makeup
