Gift Guide for Your Bestie | Target Finds Under $15

I’m so excited to share my first (and probably only) real gift guide of the season! I wanted to make this gift guide super college-friendly – so everything is less than $15 PLUS it’s all from Target. Most of the items are even more inexpensive than that, so I recommend picking up a few gifts to mix and match for your bestie. Of course, the best gift is personal… But, sometimes you just don’t know what to get someone!

These are sweet little extras that can be combined to make one gift or added to a bigger gift. Also, I like to have a few little gifts on hand just in case I need them! You know the occasion I’m talking about – a friend gets you a present and you don’t have one for them. Add one of these gifts to a heartfelt card and you’re set. Each of these links is shoppable through RewardStyle – that just means if you make a purchase using my link, I’ll get a small commission at no extra cost to you!

1.) Black Hematite Necklace, $14.99

I think buying jewelry for friends can be so tricky! What you like might not be their style, so I try to stay away from big statements. Simple necklaces like this are a great option that will probably go with most people’s style, whether they like dainty jewelry or statement necklaces. Perfect for the friend whose style changes every day.

2.) Coffee Mug, $5.99

Coffee mugs are one of those gifts that I think you can never have too many of. Pick up this sweet blush mug and fill it with a few other goodies for the perfect (easy) gift! I would add a coffee shop gift card or hot cocoa packets to continue the cozy coffee theme. Or, you could fill it with a bath bomb and face max for a relaxing combo. Perfect for the friend you never see without a cup of coffee.

3.) Black and Gold Journal, $8.99

Journals are one of those things that I won’t let myself buy anymore… but I will never turn one down when I receive it as a present! I love this bold option that’s still in neutral colors. Perfect for the friend who’s always writing out to-do lists. 

4.) Grey Flannel Candle, $9.99

I am 100% on the candle train, but I never let myself buy a candle more than $5, because it just doesn’t seem practical! Christmas is the perfect time to treat your friend with a candle that’ll smell great plus look great with their room. My friends and I agree – scents like grey flannel or mahogany teakwood are the best. Perfect for the friend whose ideal night involves cuddling up with Netflix. 

5.) Scrunchies, $5.99

Scrunchies are TOO cute, and I love this pack with a ton of different styles. Ponytail holders and scrunchies are practical things that we always forget to buy for ourselves, so pick up a pack for your friend! I would definitely combine this with something else on the list. Perfect for the friend who’s constantly rocking a ponytail. 

6.) Milk and Honey Bath Bombs (6 ct), $9.99

I absolutely love receiving bath bombs from people – they’re like an invitation to treat yourself and relax! But, when I receive one super fancy bath bomb I always save it for special occasions which never seem to come. Grabbing a pack of bath bombs will solve this dilemma, because your friend won’t have to worry about using it and running out. I love to combine bath bombs with face masks and nail polish to create little spa sets. Perfect for the friend who seems stressed.

7.) Gold Star Earrings, $5.99

These star earrings are SO cute… I may pick them up for myself! Stars are so on trend right now, but these earrings are also simple enough that your friend can rock them long after the season ends. Plus, at this price they’re ht perfect way to try out something different. Perfect for the friend who stays on top of trends.

8.) Rosemary Mint Sugar Scrub, $9.99

Exfoliating scrubs feel so luxurious and elevate something simple like a shower. Plus, rosemary and mint is such a stress-relieving scent combo. Anything that makes the every day feel fancier is a good thing in my opinion! Perfect for the friend who could use a relaxing addition to their day.

So, that’s my gift guide for the season! Yesterday I shared what I’m getting my mom for Christmas PLUS a way to win $100 off of a wood watch of your own. Go ahead and enter that giveaway, pick up a few things for your bestie, and relax and enjoy Thanksgiving!
