Is there a gift that you receive, or wouldn't mind receiving that costs less than $25.00, and that you appreciate / would appreciate if you received it?
I would have to say that I would never grow tried of receiving socks, slippers, or a blanket or nice pillow for around that price. A gift card wouldn't be remiss either of course.
What item do you like to receive that costs less than $25.00? Is this an item you receive all the time, or one that is only for a special holiday?

Are you saying you have received $24.99 in USD sealed in an envelope before?

@excellence7 Ah, yes in cash I usually receive less, but when it's on a gift card I receive more.

Neutrogena is such a good brand as well. I bet they have gift kits out as most beauty brands do that this time of year.

@thelme55 I do not do much in the way of make up, and I don't put any kind of cleanser on my skin. I wash it with some plain soap and water.

@ScribbledAdNauseum yes, it is a good brand and good for my skin. Of course there's a beauty kit from Neutrogena

@ScribbledAdNauseum I have thought about doing that many times, But I don't have a car and have limited times that I can drive, even if I could.

I've seen some gift baskets made from the dollar tree for very cheap. Branded items as well, even ghiradelli items. Imagine how much one would save on making a gift basket like that if they could get the supplies from dollar tree.

@dfollin I don't drive either, and we only go out to get food once a week. I do try to make it to dollar tree atleast twice a month though, even if I don't buy anything.

You can never have enough of those! Plus it frees you up to buy things you want, if people gift you clothes for holidays.

Yes, lots of things are too expensive now. It's hard to find things under $25.00 that also have a good quality.

I love the soft / fuzzy socks that are so prevalent this time of year. I got my friends a pair of socks with aloe in it, but there wasn't a 3rd pair for me :(
Chocolate will never go remiss. I was just looking at the swiis colony website for chocolates.

@Tina30219 I haven't, but I am not sure if I would be willing to pay their prices. I feel like I could just get some aloe and then some socks and put them on my feet for cheaper.

That's a gift I am always weary of giving, mainly because people's idea of good smelling things differ.

@NJChicaa Clean cotton is one of my favorite scents, but I have found that some companies version of it isn't very nice.

I think that food is a good gift. Especially as there are so many holiday type foods to enjoy.

a travel sized sketchbook. I always try to keep one with me. it doesn't need to be fancy paper or leather bound or some other crazy ridiculousness. I can always appreciate a little sketchbook, they're usually $5-$10 depending on size and store you buy them from.
candy (any food, really ), a warm blanket, or a candle are nice to get, too!
the gift-in-a-jar idea might work for less than $25

I like all those things minus the sketchbook, I'd just say a journal since I like recording my favorite quotes. Candles are nice too and I wouldn't mind receiving them. Giving them is another thing entirely, I have a different favorite scent.

@isweartokira I realize that, and I wasn't trying to say your choice was bad. I guess I give people the wrong impression by comparing what they want / like to what i would get. I mean no harm in it.

I would love to get durable items that are unique and can also give a long-lasting memory from the givers. I really like a camera mug and a camera pencil/pen holder. Those are under $25. This camera mug is so elegant and it keeps drinks hot. A camera pencil/pen holder is also nice for me. I can organize my pens, pencils, other small utensils there and make my work space more tidy.

Those look really nice. Cameras / photography isn't my thing but I can definitely see where those would be neat gifts for those who love that stuff. I have to admit the camera mug looks very realistic.

Yes, but those will not be under $25.00 surely.

@lovebuglena It really is, and it's high quality chocolate too. The best way to get a good deal with them is to go on there tour which is only $5.00. They give you like 10 or 20 percent off, and if you have a gift card for them then you can get out the door with more. I rarely go there because of it's cost and distance.

Ah yes, that would be a good treat. That reminds me, a chocolate company that usually sells their bars for about $12.00 per bar has a sale for five for $25.00 at the moment.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I wish to get that too. I used to have them when I was still working in the big city. It's not very popular in my province here.
