Awesome Christmas gifts under $25

When it comes to Christmas gifts, not only do you have to buy for family and friends, there are colleagues and kids to take into consideration too. It’s those smaller gifts that can add an extra pinch to the budget and be harder to find.

I’ve created an “under $25 Christmas gift guide” to help alleviate stress. You can spend more time thinking about the delicious food you’re going to eat, fun times with family and friends and of course, the presents you’ll get yourself!

Gifts for Kris Kringle

If you know a fella who’s travelling during the Christmas break, a toiletry bag is a great gift. This Nivea Men sensitive skin gift pack is from Target for $17.50.

In Australia, we love a good shrimp on the barbie, especially in summer. This Women's Weekly cookbook is from the AusPost shop for $19.99.

Wool & Willow have gorgeous prints for $12 each or selected sets (x2) for $20. My top picks for the single prints are pink peoniesless drama more coffee, and ocean view

Stocking stuffers

You can find some fabulous gifts for less to put in your family and friends' Christmas stockings this Christmas. They will think you spent a fortune!

For a different way to experience a nice scent in the home, these melting pieces of perfume from Zanui $19.95 will delight. Scents include: cotton flower, lavender harvest and more.

There’s a lipstick for every occasion with this Designer Brands Kiss & Tell 5 Matte lipsticks palette from Adore Beauty ($12.99).
