small gifts gift guide

December 12, 2011 by Lindsey 2 Comments

We probably all have situations around the holidays where we just need a small gift for someone, or a grab gift, Yankee swap gift, etc. So, I thought I’d share with you a few of my top picks for small gifts this year.

Makeup Bag: Always a good choice. Can be used to carry makeup or toiletries when traveling or at home.

Headlamp: You might laugh, but you might have no clue how handy a headlamp is. I’ve learned this over many years of camping with my future brother-in-law. The man always has one on his head and it’s brilliant. Perfect for grilling hands free if it’s dark out or looking for something in a dark attic or basement.

Tervis Tumbler Cups: These are the best cups we own. They come in a variety of different sizes, colors, monograms and so on. You can drink cold and hot beverages in them and they even sell accessories such as a lid and a slide on handle. There are SO many to choose from. You can also find them at Bed, Bath & Beyond…and use a coupon!

Kids Crayon Tote: This is a great gift for kiddos. Perfect for traveling with or even to have in the car to keep them busy. The crayons slide into the slots and the bag can hold their paper or coloring books.

Tabletop Ping-Pong: All I have to say is I wish I had a dining table large enough for this. What a fun gift! The net clips right on to your dining table and you have an instant ping-pong table.

Reindeer Beer: How cute is this! Jazz up a regular six-pack of beer with some pipe cleaners, pom poms and googly eyes. The extra supplies will cost you less than $4 probably.

So, there they are, a few of my top picks for small gifts this year. I’m definitely going to be making some reindeer beer to bring to parties we have!

    I took your suggestion and bought a headlamp for a white elephant party I have this weekend. Such a good idea! I kind of want to keep it for myself.
