Tis the season for hot cocoa, Holiday parties, and white elephant gift exchanges! I have received quite a few requests in particular for the best white elephant gifts under $30. Items that can appeal to a wide range of women and are tried and true favorites.
While putting together this list I immediately thought of one of the group texts I am a part of. I have a group texts with my influencer friends, my friends from my time at Tory Burch, my college girlfriends, my friends from San Francisco, and then this one group text that is a magical mix of my college girlfriends and many of their high school friends that I have met over the last 20 years. This particular group text is a jumble of Happy Birthday texts, newborn pictures, and fun life updates. Unlike all of my other group texts, there is lots of ‘omg I just got this lipgloss and I think you would all love it’ types of messages. It’s also the place many of us turn when we need a new pair of running leggings, or want to know if anyone has recently bought sunglasses that they love.
As I was starting this post, as one of our favorites topics is white elephant exchanges, I knew I should ask them for recommendations. Well as usual, this delightful, fun, and witty group of women didn’t disappoint. Below are the best under $30 white elephant gifts – a combination of my own personal picks plus the all-time favorites from some of my nearest and dearest!
Maybe I am showing my age, but there is nothing better than a great hand soap!
Bombas not only makes incredible socks, they also give back. Even more reason to support during the season of giving!
This cookbook has over 100 no-recipe recipes and is currently $15 for a limited time here.
Candles are a safe choice when it comes to a gift exchange, especially if you don’t know everyone or it is a group with diverse interests! This one is top of my list.
