December is a big gift-giving time for us. We have Hanukkah and Christmas, and we also have four family birthdays!

Gifts Under $25

Coffee is an essential part of my life. I think these mugs are adorable, especially if you have a coffee addict lover in your life ($19.87):

For colder drinks (or hot ones, actually), I love these Tervis tumblers ($21.99):

You can get them for most teams or with Minions or other characters and designs, too.

Cuddle up under this pretty and soft throw blanket ($20.99):

For easier clean-up when baking, I love these reusable silicone non-stick baking sheets ($15.27):

While we’re baking, how cute are these beehive measuring cups ($12.99)?

And these adorable and useful kitchen towels ($7.99):

I love to paint, so I love getting new, fresh brushes in my stocking! Here are my favorite brushes ($19.97):

And for small jobs or cutting-in, I love this little brush ($5.47):

This is such a handy light. It works with the batteries from the other RYOBI One+ Tools and is a great light when the power goes out or when you just need a little extra illumination ($20.97).

Clamp On, Hand Helds & Stand-Up: Ryobi Flashlights 18-Volt One+ LED Workshop Light (Tool Only) P780

And for your desk (or the desk of a dog lover in your life!), I love this dog calendar from World Market ($22.49):

Gifts Under $50

The Rabbit Wine Tool – the easiest way to open a wine bottle ever ($42.88):

These boots have kept my feet warm and dry on many a cold and wet soccer morning ($40):

My favorite tool: my RYOBI drill ($49 at Home Depot).
Drill/Drivers: Ryobi Drills One+ 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Starter Drill Kit P1810

I use my drill all the time – it’s perfect for small jobs or building big projects. And it’s so easy to use and lightweight that even my eight-year-old can use it!

Splurges

I love flannel sheets! There’s nothing better on a winter night than snuggling into a bed with plaid flannel sheets ($99.95 – Queen Size).

I hope this has given you some great gift-giving ideas! What’s the best gift you’ve ever received? I’d love for you to share in the comments! Thanks!
