KRIS KINDLE GIFT GUIDE - UNDER €20
Kris Kindle gifts are sometimes the hardest presents to buy. A lot of the time, you might not know the person very well - and if it's a work one the budget is probably about €20. It's so hard (not to mention annoying) to get something for someone you don't know too well for under twenty and to make it look nice and thoughtful. So I've put my thinking cap on and come up with a few ideas! I'd be really happy to receive any of the following gifts!. Hope it helps!
PHOTOGRAPHS
Now, I don't mean giving photos of yourself to a work colleague you barely know (unless you're into that sort of thing!). I'm talking about going on their social media and printing the nicest photos from their accounts, wrap them up beautifully and there you have it, the most thoughtful present ever! Artifact Uprising is a company that I've used a couple of times. They print your images on beautifully thick, eggshell textured paper. They come in a square shape so they look like your Instagram feed but how nice to physically have them in your actual hand instead of on a screen. You can print 25 of them for $22 (so it comes in under €20) I think it is an AMAZING present! Download the app and upload photos straight from your phone!. Easy peasy!
A CANDLE
I just LOVE getting candles! My top tip is try to get a light, fresh scent - anything too sweet or too musky might not be to everyones taste! I think this Patchouli + Rose Geranium one from Irish company Clean Slate is PERFECT! The packaging is divine, it looks so luxe! Plus you will be supporting a small Irish business!
STATIONERY
Well, there is nobody I would trust more with my stationery needs than the one and only Dusty Boy Designs. An Irish company making a big impact with their beautiful paper goods! I just LOVE their notebooks. Everyone needs a fancy notebook, no? Whether it's to make lists or scribble down your goals and dreams, this is for everyone! They have so much to choose from including a magnetic list maker and a desk pad that doubles up as a weekly planner (pictured below)! How lovely would it be to get some of these goodies in your stocking?
POTTED PLANT
Ok, I know this sounds a bit random but cacti and succulents are SO trendy at the moment. I swear, all the cool people are buying them. I, of course, jumped straight on the bandwagon. I think it's a quirky present and it will stand out from the sea of soap sets and boxes of Milk Tray. You'll get a decent succulent for less than a fiver then pick a cute planting pot (Industry on Drury Street have lovely ones) and there you have it! Gawjus!
GLOVES
Zara is perfect for picking up gorgeous gloves or a cosy scarf. There are so many beautiful pieces for under €20. You can get something that you hope they will like and then give a gift receipt, just incase. Everyone wins. These ones are 15.95! Get them here!
SLIPPERS
Oh how I love slippers, I own about a million pairs! It's the gift that keeps on giving for tired mamas like me and how about these Pom Pom ones from Next? So you may not have brushed your hair or put a bra on but just look down - your feet are PRETTY!
WALL PRINT
The only thing more trendy than cacti at the moment are wall prints. Whether it's an inspirational quote, a cute nursery print, or wedding inspired sentiments, everyone is lusting after beautiful words to grace their walls!! Even Pippa is a fan! You can customise any of the designs at Dusty Boy! Pop it in one of the IKEA "Ribba" frames and you've got yourself a gloriously thoughtful present.
