Ultimate Awesome Gift Guide Under $50

Nov 27, 2020 · 3 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links, please see my privacy policy for details.

I’m so excited to share this ultimate awesome gift guide under $50! There is something for every person on your list!An awesome guide for gifts under $50

Big White Yeti Candle – anyone who knows me knows how much I love a good candle.  And what I love about this company is that they are local to Milwaukee!  A product I love, in a city I love!

SoftPretzel & Beer Mustard Making Kit (or any of these awesome DIY kits) – it’s so fun to allow people to create.  That’s one of the reasons I love these DIY kits.   Plus, there is such a range, from making your own sparkling wine to artisan BBQ sauce.

Leggings – everyone needs a good pair of leggings and these leggings are all you need.  I don’t wear much Lululemon, but a friend of mine told me that these leggings are a really great knock-off of a Lululemon pair.  Works for me!

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Gloss – When I want to feel even just a little bit put together, I slap on some of this lip gloss and viola!  This gloss stays on all day and makes my lips feel silky and yummy 🙂

Cookbooks – cookbooks are always a great gift and I happen to have two that are great for a new Mom and a busy family.   AND, coming soon, if you purchase either cookbook – Baby Food Maker Cookbook or Fast & Easy Five Ingredient Recipes, you will get a free sweetPhi tote bag!  Details launching on Small Business Saturday so keep an eye on the blog!

Slippers with Soles – confession, sometimes I like to wear my slippers outside.  I mean, I’m only running to the mailbox or going out on the porch, but it’s nice to have a sturdy sole on slippers for this very reason.

Cutting Board – there is something about a beautiful personalized gift and this cutting board is the perfect fit for almost anyone on your list.  It’s simplistic and functional and would look great even left out on the counter.

Planner – All planners are not created equally.  I have spent more time than I care to admit looking for the perfect planner and this is it!  Every year, I look forward to buying a new one and filling it up with all of the fun plans for the blog.

Touch Screen Gloves – I’ve been on the hunt for a good pair of touch screen gloves.  You know that I’m always shooting pictures or peaking at things on my social media, so having a gloves that allow me to stay warm and still get the job done are super important to me.

Eco-friendly items that are part of the SweetPhi ultimate awesome gift guide under $50

Tote Bags – I absolutely love tote bags.  I keep a pile of them in my car for those spur of the moment grocery trips.  And I love them even more when they have a super PUN-ny saying on them!

Reusable eco-friendly kitchen bags – Have you seen these cool bags yet?!  I am always trying to make an effort to be a little more friendly to the environment here and there.  I’m not perfect, but these bags help along the way.

Beeswraps – You’ve maybe heard me talk about these before, but I learned about beeswraps when I was trying to loose less plastic wrap in the house (see environment note above).

iPhone Stand – I use my phone for pretty much everything, so I love having this stand to set it on.  It sits in my kitchen and I use it when I’m playing music from my phone, when I’m using it to read recipes or even send a quick text.

Universal Charging Port – this thing is the coolest!  You just plug it in and simply place any device that needs a charge on top and viola, charged device.  No more searching for the right cord or a place to plug it in, this is the only charger you’ll need.  I’m obsessed.  And you can even order them personalized.  If that’s not your thing, here is a more basic option as well.

Denim Apron – I love a good apron and already have a denim apron on my list for this year.  I do love the apron Ben made me that says “Mom” on it, but these denim aprons are sleek and amazing.  Plus, there is a His and Hers version available – a great couple gift for the couple that loves to cook together.

Good phone case – Again, see note above about how much I use my phone on a daily basis – don’t we all?  So when schlepping all the things around (groceries, kids, bags and more bags), it’s nice to just have a great phone case that also happens to double as a wallet.  And this case, in particular, is super sturdy for any of you that might drop your phone on the regular.

Pairing a cooking class gift card with a food-themed ornament is a great gift

Ornament – Every year, I buy a new food-themed ornament for our tree.   These ornaments are far and away my favorite.  This year, I’m feeling the coconut-shrimp vibe!

Cooking Class – Experience gifts are quickly becoming one of my favorite things to give and get.  When you have that person on your list that is impossible to shop for, look toward an experience gift like these amazing cooking classes.  And save some time, go online now to buy a gift card for the cooking class, buy this adorable food-themed ornament and gift the two items together.  In no time, you have an adorable gift for almost anyone on your list.

Meal Delivery Service – the absolute perfect gift for the new mom on your list, the busy family trying to balance working full time and time with the kids, the person wanting to try new foods….and the list goes on.   My personal favorite is Home Chef (if you’re getting meals not a gift card for someone else, use code 40SweetPhi for $40 off your first two orders), but Sun Basket is another fantastic option if you’re looking for healthier options.

Blanket Scarf – anything that can double as a blanket, but pass as fashion is good in my book!  A blanket scarf is maybe the best thing every created, am I right!? haha

Matching Pajamas – each year, our family buys Hanna Andersson pajamas and these are a favorite in our house this year.  But I couldn’t decide because these and these are also so amazing!  The best part is that they make it easy for the family to get a whole matching set and I just love to get matching pairs for the kiddos.

DIY Kit for kids and adults – I love this Global Adventure Cooking Kit because it encourages parents and kids to cook together (which I obviously love to do with Ben), but it also teaches them some geography and culture along the way.  I also love doing art projects with Ben, so another great DIY Kit option to do with kids is this clay model kit.

Theo Chocolate – if you’ve never had this chocolate, now is the time to try it.  I love the sample pack because you get a little taste of everything Theo has to offer.  Handcrafted in Seattle, these are a must-add fr the chocolate-lover in your life.

Audible Subscription – if you’ve been reading along for awhile, you know that I spend quite a bit of time in the car, so audio books are my best friend.  Listening to them makes the time go so much more quickly.  This summer, I shared a list of books on my listening list and I got through listening to them all!  You can get an Audible subscription for as low as $14.95 per month, so put $50 on a gift card and give someone the gift of audiobooks for three months.  They will love it.  Pair the giftcard with a great pair of headphones for listening and you’ve got a great gift for a book-lover!

Want to hear the horrible thing that happened in m Want to hear the horrible thing that happened in my house this week? 🎻 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First, I ran out of coffee beans 😳😩😢
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then, as I was washing dishes late at night, my French press slipped through my hands and shattered 🙀😭😫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just kept repeating a German phrase my mom used to say “sherben bringen Glück” which means “shards bring luck” (it’s usually applied to like porcelain- which is why plates and mugs are thrown on the ground ahead of weddings... but my mom would apply it to glass/plates/whatever broke) 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So...I’m going to go ahead and make some sweet cream, bust out my old coffee machine until the new French press arrives <-because apparently now I’m someone who makes French press coffee every morning! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m going to drink my coffee and make my meal plan and shopping list for the week ahead (if you need some inspo the latest free meal plan and which has the ability to create a shooting list with the click of a button is live on the blog!

Are you team ♥️ anchovies, or team 🤢 anchov Are you team ♥️ anchovies, or team 🤢 anchovies? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I used to be 🤢 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They sounded kinda gross if you asked me. Canned fish? No thank you. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then I was part of a cookbook club (remember social activities.. 😭) and I cooked a recipe with anchovy breadcrumbs. It completely changed my perspective and thoughts on them as an ingredient. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now whenever I encounter someone who is team ♥️ I rave and rave at them about miraculous anchovy breadcrumbs. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re awesome on roasted cauliflower or on pasta 😘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I gotta know? Are you team anchovies ♥️ or 🤢?!?
