It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but for a lot of people, Christmas is also the most stressful and expensive time of year! So hopefully this list of 10 gift ideas under €10 will alleviate some of the pain!
The prices in this post are based on paying in Sterling. It works out cheaper that way (especially with ASOS).
1. A Mug
There’ll be plenty a cup of tea drank over the Christmas, and if there’s an avid tea / coffee drinker in your life, then a mug is a great little stocking filler.
My Pick: Love the Mug have something for everyone. Such cool, funny, sweet mugs. For your partner, BFF, mother, brother, grandmother; there is something for everyone!
Price: €10 and you can shop here.
2. A Hat
In my view, a hat is the trendiest accessory of them all and it’s minus 55 degrees outside (not actually but it’s FREEZING!).
My Pick: New Look, burgandy bobble hat. It comes in teal blue too.
Price: €9 from ASOS (pay in pound). You can buy it here.
3. A Hot Water Bottle
The experts say it is set to be a cold winder in Ireland! I couldn’t be without a hot water bottle, not only to keep the feet warm, but it’s the only thing that helps when I have back and/or stomach pain. I find them so comforting.
My Pick: Blush pink, fluffy hot water bottle. It also comes in grey and beige.
Price: €9 from Littlewoods. Buy it here.
4. Stationary
I don’t know about you, but I just LOVE stationary. There’s nothing like starting a new notepad, agenda, diary or journal at the start of a new year.
My Pick: Kade marble notepad set.
Price: €9 from ASOS, shop here.
5. Gloves
Both practical and stylish as well as needed in Ireland, pretty much all year round!
My Pick: Leather look Gloves.
Price: €8 from M and M Direct, shop here.
6. A Book
Being curled up in bed with a good book and a cup of tea is one of life’s great pleasures. I’ve previously written about those books that have helped me with anxiety. You can read all about those here.
My Pick: Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. This 8s the saddest book ever! So I’m not sure why I’m recommending it :s
Price: Currently on sale for €8.40 in Easons, shop here.
7. A T-Shirt
Women, men, children, dogs… everyone wears t-shirts right?
My Pick: New Look, Be Your Own Hero tee.
Price: €5.50 from ASOS; shop here.
8. PJs
One can never have too many pyjamas… NEVER! If you buy any one pyjamas, consider gifting them before Christmas Eve. New pyjamas on Christmas Eve is a must in my house.
My Pick: Any of the soft cotton pyjamas from Penneys. They have sets that are 100% cotton too!
Price: From €6 to €10
9. A Scarf
A scarf is not just for winter and can very quickly take an outfit from drab to chic.
My Pick: Oversized grey, check scarf,
Price: €9 from ASOS, shop here.
10. A Phone Case
A phone case can be as plain, subtle, bling or as personalised as you like.
My Pick: Marble and blush initialised case from Ebay. Come on, what kind of gift guide would this be without something personalised. Everyone loves personalisation, don’t they?
Price: €8 from Ebay, you can buy it here.
So there you have it. Just because the budget is small, that doesn’t mean you can’t buy some nice and thoughtful pressies.
Hopefully this post has given you some gift, stocking-filler and Kris Kindle inspo. Like last year, there are plenty of more gift guides to come. Subscribe for email notifications below and you’ll to be the first hear about them.
Thank you for reading. LET THE FESTIVITIES COMMENCE!
