It’s always good to have a handy store of ideas for last minute gifts. Inspired by my own wishlist and things I love to give to friends, here are 7 gifts that are perfect for your bestie (or yourself) that won’t break the bank.

1. Ice Roller

Get your girl a chic ice roller, that gives me Skinny Confidential ice roller vibes, but for a not Skinny Confidential price. I’m not sure I could ever justify a $70 ice roller —wild! This is the perfect way to feel de-puffed and luxurious in the morning!

Flawless Finish Ice Roller: $9.98 at time of publishing

2. Finance books

Financial wellness is super sexy! That’s why it makes the perfect gift whether they are just starting out their personal finance journey or if they’ve already got it down.

My girl Alyssa of Mixed Up Money is releasing her second book, Financial First Aid, for helping people become more confident with money.

And Nick Maggiulli from the blog Of Dollars & Data is releasing his first book, Just Keep Buying, to help people save and grow wealthy.

They’re both available for pre-order right now and I’m hoping Santa gets me these for Christmas!

Financial First Aid: $18 // Just Keep Buying: $19 at time of publishing

3. Dossier Perfume

Dossier perfume is perfect for your friend who loves trying new expensive fragrances, but you don’t have the budget to spend hundreds of dollars on designer perfumes. All of their perfumes are under $60!!

Dossier Perfumes: $29-$59 at time of publishing.

Dossier’s perfumes are inspired by designer scents—think Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Jo Malone, Chanel, Tom Ford.

My signature scent is Jo Malone’s Wood Sage & Sea Salt. I’m wearing Dossier’s Woody Sage scent and it smells exactly the same.

Dossier hooked up my fellow Money Honey’s with 10% off using the code: MMH10. (Not even sponsored, I just asked!)

4. Chic Sunglasses

We love a 90s glam look! These glasses make a great gift for your adventurous friend. Yacht Week Croatia? No worries if they lose it to the ocean! Plus I love accessories for really dressing up an outfit.

90s Sunglasses 2-Pack: $14 at time of publishing.

5. 10 Foot Charging Cord

IYKYK, 10 foot charging cords are absolutely life changing. It’s a gift I received one as a gift a few years ago and didn’t even realize how great they were until I started using them. Sure, your friend may have the standard 3 foot cable, but this is a real game changer.

Keep phones in reach and still charging at all times! Plus I love the 90 degree lightning cable because if you’re holding your phone on your stomach it doesn’t poke you…which goes to show how much I’m always on my phone lol.

This 3-pack is only $14 so you can gift two and keep one for yourself!

10 Foot 90 Degree Lighting Cable 3 Pack: $14 at time of publishing.

6. Baggu Bags

Sustainable AND chic? It’s a win/win. I love to keep these on hand to gift whether it’s a zodiac sign bag for my friend’s birthday or cute checked ones. These make the perfect gift that they can use all the time, whether running to the grocery store or shopping at the mall.

My favorite ones are the standard size Baggu bags. They hold SO much, plus the designs are always on point. I like to always have some on hand to gift in a pinch. And they make great white elephant gifts!

3-Pack: $36 // Single Bag: $12 at time of publishing.

7. Quince Silk Pillowcase

Your bestie might not splurge on this for themselves, but this is the ultimate luxurious gift that they would be so happy to receive. Gift it to your friend so they can wake up without bed head!

This Quince Silk Pillowcase is a dupe for the $90 Slip pillowcase. It’s the exact same quality for less than half the price.

Quince Silk Pillowcase: $40 at time of publishing
