Free People's Holiday Gift Guide for $50 and Under
It is that time of year again. The Holiday season is full of seeing family and friends, eating delicious food, AND giving gifts. As a college student it is hard to buy gifts on my limited/non-existent funds. With the little money I do have for gift giving, I go to Free People. The brand is synonymous with high quality clothing. So, when your gift comes in a Free People box no one will suspect it was under $50. Here are my suggestions for appearing like the most generous broke- college kid this season.
1. Bohème Crystals: Perfect for your overly stressed loved one. These bath salts create the ultimately relaxing bathing experience. There are three different options: Elysian, Celestial, and Ethereal. They all provide different specific benefits. So, you can customize your purchase to the needs of the recipient.
2. Earmuff Headphones: Only a limited group of people would not want this gift. There is nothing better than keeping warm and listening to your favorite songs. These earmuffs are a perfect gift for college students. They are offered in five different colors that range from neutrals to animal print. So you can easily find a pair that fits the style of the receipent.
3. Trilogy Slouchy Tote: This tote is perfect for everyone you know. In fact, I was shocked to see the price tag on this item. Made from vegan leather the trilogy tote comes in an assortment of colors. It will become the recipients go-to everyday bag (I promise).
4. Star Struck Studded Aviator: An awesome idea for someone living in a warmer climate. These are not your typical shades so they will be a great statement piece to gift to that trendy loved one.
5. Crop Top: For the athletic type this crop top is an ideal gift. Free People has so many selections for workout clothing, and they are comparable in price & quality to other workout attire companies. This seamless crop top is great for yogis, runners, etc. One can never have enough active wear.
6. Perfect Gift Ring Box Set: The name speaks for itself. It's a given that jewelry is always an appreciated gift. This 3-piece set of rings is elegant and bold. No need to guess size or style. These rings will work for any type of person.
7. Happy Trails Pom Beanie: Trust me, I have worn my fair share of beanies and Free People's beanies are by far my favorite. Unlike other beanies they aren't itchy or awkwardly sized. Beanies are the perfect holiday gift, because everyone is in need of more warm clothing during winter. It can't kill someone to have another hat in their winter wardrobe. From past gift giving experience, I have gotten all my friends FP beanies in different colors and they all loved them.
8. Material Girl, Mystical World: Who would've ever thought Free People would have books? Well, they do now. Along with an assortment of healthy lifestyle books, Free People has added this book to their collection. For your friend who always has a book in hand and enjoys learning about modern spirituality (astrology, meditation,etc.). This is the most thoughtful gift they will receive.
9. Vegan Solstice Slipper: Wow, I added these to my cart the second I came across them. My family has a tradition of gifting slippers each Christmas. Slippers are the one shoe that "always fits". These crazy looking slippers will put a smile on anyone's face and make their feet very happy.
10. Technicolor iPhone Case: Also, most people do not think to treat themselves frequently with a new phone case. These five funky patterns offer a range of options to choose from. Phone cases are the best because they are a universally wanted item. Most people, also, spend the majority of their day staring at their phone. So it might as well be nice to look at!
11. Holiday Lip Kit: More lip colors? Yes, please. This set of three lip glosses are infused with coconut. They will not only make lips pop, but they will soothe and nourish them too. With three different colors in the pack it gives the recipient options to find their favorite. If they are anything like me they will love all three.
12. Cement Candle Pentagon: Candles are a holiday staple. They are especially great for gifting to those you might not be as close with or for White Elephant Parties. Also, everyone loves a good candle. This candle's funky, geometric shape will serve as a great addition to anyone's home. If you are lost on what to get--this is a safe bet.
It was hard for me to stop my list right here. By the time I finished looking through Free People's options my cart was full of items. These 12 items are my favorites, and I believe will be your recipient's favorite gift this holiday season. Though the holidays are about being with those you love. It is always nice to receive thoughtful gifts.
