The Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide for All – Under $300
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
Last year, I did this Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide, and I really loved it.
For me, I find that having one main piece of literature that encompasses the gist of gift giving really helps my brain.
You can get really detailed or really broad.
It is up to you.
This likely won’t be the only gift guide I throw up for the Christmas season, but if it is.
I think I could be absolutely fine with that decission.
Groceries are expensive.
Rent is high.
Let’s stop pretending we inherited our parents economy when they were our age.
No.
No. We. Did. Not.
You work hard, I see you.
I see me.
So, here I am.
Just plugging away at this Christmas gift guide, knowing that many homes are surviving by the skin of their teeth every month.
It’s stressful out here.
A Shopping Tip
Gifts are always optional. I would discuss with your family how you want to exchange gifts this year.
Last year, I bought everyone a very nice present with a specific monetary limit.
What I loved about that was I only had to worry about one gift per person in my immediate family, and it was way less stressful and meaningful.
You know?
Also, shop sales.
Always try and shop sales, and if you can swing it….shop throughout the year.
I would say save.
But baby.
Have you seen these prices?
Consumerism has us all PUNKED, and saving is even harder to do with how expensive everything has gotten.
End rant. Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide time.
Let’s run away to the Candy Cane forest of the 90s with Buddy the Elf–where things monetarily made sense for anyone over the age of 18.
