The ultimate 2020 affordable Holiday gift guide

Ahhh I’ve been working on this guide for what seems like weeks thinking of items to add that would be a hit. My biggest goal this year was to make it an affordable gift guide. I get it. The holidays are stressful. Gifts are stressful. Add finding the money to buy gifts during a pandemic in the mix and you get a whole lot of feelings. Either way, I feel your struggle and I’m hoping that I can help you out on whatever item it is you’re looking for.

As for us, we’ve really had to buckle down on the gifts. Kyler and I actually aren’t gifting each other anything to save money. I have both girls done and I have spent a whopping $200 total on their gifts and stockings combined. The biggest items was Laken’s scooter at $97, so I think we did pretty dang good! I even started saving for Christmas Next year.

When I did my poll over on Instagram on what price range you all would like to see all items in $150 and below one. Truthfully, most items in every guide is under $75. There is one item per that is between $100-$150 that’s more of a splurge item and then on the Gift Guide For Her there’s one that’s $200.

ASH BOUTIQUE – is located in Topeka, Kansas and is one of the top places to shop. They carry well loved brands like Z Supply (lounge pieces to die for) and Karlie (the cutest trendy finds) and the best closet staples! I don’t get to shop at Ash Boutique nearly as much as I’d like.

Wayward Honey – has the most beautiful polymer clay earrings. All her pieces are $20 and under and her collections to soon be released are stunning.

KB&CO – a Lawrence local boutique made up of other local boutiques. KB&Co sells home decor, fitness, trendy, and accessories.

Sixteen Eleven Boutique – always carries the cutest graphic tees! She just released a Shania Twain graphic tee that has my name written all over it!

Inspired Boutique – My sweet friend, Lauren, owns Inspired Boutique and I have many pieces from her. She is always collabing with other bloggers and releasing the cutest pieces!

Remporium KC – Holy Home Decor. I have been begging Kyler to take me out to shop for our home. We both want to make it a goal to shop more local for our home and I cannot wait to start here.

Da Bomb Bath Bombs – This one I’m sharing is birthday cake flavored but they have the coolest bath bombs!

Bathtub Crayons – these are fun for adults too! Make bath time a little more fun by being able to color on the wall of the tubs!

Bathtub color tabs – these tabs turn bathtub time into one colorful bath tub. We practice our colors and mix colors!

Baby Shusher – this sound machine has been a lifesaver! The number one baby item between Kyler and I.

Baby booties – Always a fav of mine to give. They stay of better than socks and wash super well!

Lovevery – block set keeps the girls SOOO busy. It’s on the pricy side but to keep a 1 year old and a 4 year old entertained for a couple hours makes it all worth it to me. I would personally give this to them as a shared gift.

ball pit & balls – the best big gift for a toddler. Lots of ball color options too!

Kitsch hair bands – are the best hair ties!! They leave zero crease and are great for a small add in for gifts.

fuzzy socks – Barefoot dreams blankets are on the pricy side, but these socks are made from the exact material and so dang warm. Definitely a good gift or the home body.

Able Alem Utility Bag – This is a pricy item in the $200’s but I’m so grateful to have my hands on it. I have used this bag more than any other bag for baby and work just because of how spacious it is. It’s also incredibly comfortable to wear about. Able carries a lot of utility bags/cross body bags and I highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking for someone. I had to add it because it’s that good!
