gift guide: cheap gifts that look expensive

There is nothing I despise more than clicking on a "Gifts Under $100" link only to find that everything is exactly $99.99. That in no way helps me. I am a poor college student working part-time to pay rent. I want cheap gifts that look expensive, not gifts that actually are expensive. So in effort to combat the extremely misleading "gift guide" posts who promise you nothing but inexpensive glory only to swallow your bank account whole in one swift swoop, I present to you an actual, legitimate inexpensive gift guide. Everything shown above is under $50. Seriously.

holiday gift guide: for him

The age old question: what the heck do I get my boyfriend for Christmas?
S O L V E D.

1.  A watch. Simple, classic, and always welcomed.
2. Beanies are the cutest things in the world on a boy. Buy him one so YOU can benefit from it.
3. Boys who can skateboard/longboard are so attractive. If he doesn't know how, make him learn. If he already does, he will love you forever if you get him a new board.
4. Who can deny the cuteness of a bow-tie on any boy? Cute overload.
5. Beats by Dre are perrrrrfect for any boy who is into music. 
6. A pair of brogues is something every male needs in his closet. So you're doing him a favor.
7. Cologne is one of the most simple gifts you can get for your man. If you're in a new relationship, this is something I'd suggest. It's not too much, nor too little. Plus, who doesn't want their man to smell nice?
8. Ray-Ban Clubmasters are so stinkin' cute, and every boy needs a pair of Ray-Bans. They're timeless.

Enjoy spoiling your man this holiday season! xo
