Okay, so with the holiday season upon us, I'm sure you're just racking your brain for
gift ideas that won't break the bank.
So I was talking to Callista on Instagram about this exact topic and trying to figure
out what doesn't seem too cheap, but what's also not too expensive.
How do you strike that right balance?
So I'm going to give you six ideas for gifts, budget-friendly gifts under $30 for your entire
family in this video.
Hey, what's up guys?

And today, I have on the best sweatshirt of my entire life, combining Christmas and Harry
Potter all into one freaking cozy sweatshirt.
I found this on Etsy a few years ago and I wear it every single year.
Okay, okay, I'm going to be giving you guys six gift ideas that are all under $30 each
so that you can pick and choose what the best gift is for your family member or friend or
significant other.
Boom, get it online, done.
The first item that I'm showcasing is for the beer lover.
So if you have somebody who really likes to drink beer but doesn't like to drink warm
beer, because who doesn't, you have to get yourself a Brumate.
Brumate makes the perfect holiday Christmas gift because this thing seriously keeps your
beer cold all day long.
So Kyle uses this when we're up at the pool, when we go to the beach, anytime we're at
a party, he just brings this along.
And what's really cool about this one, this is the Brumate Trio Hopsilator.
So the Brumate Trio Hopsilator actually has three different ways that you can use this
thing.
So it is tall, but what you do is you screw off the lid and it comes with this ice pack
and you put this in the freezer and whenever you want to use it, you just put it into the
bottom of your can.
Now this thing will do short cans or it will do tall boys as well.
The tall boys would just stick up a little bit more in the Hopsilator, but it works.
And what I also like about how well designed this was is that they actually have a ring
here so it's curved to fit the bottom of your can.
So then it fits like this inside of the Brumate.
Hey love, I'm just filming a video.
So you put everything into the Brumate, you put the lid right back on, screw it together
and voila.
Now the other way that you can use this Brumate is if you take the ring off and take everything
out including the ice pack and you can actually use it just as is by pouring your drink inside
and then using the lid that comes with it and screwing it on.
And then you just take this lid, this is the drink lid, so you can pour whatever drink
you have and just use it as like a regular tumbler.
It's an awesome gift.
It's under $30.
We've bought several of these for gifts for people in the past and it's just, everybody
loves them.
They work so well.
Okay this next gift idea is for the game lover.
So Kyle and I really love games and if you're going to pick any game to get for your game
lover this Christmas, it better be Codenames.
Codenames is so fun.
Our friends who live in Austria turned us on to this and we could not stop playing.
It's challenging, you have to come up with strategies, it's a whole word game where you
have to find a common word that describes multiple words on the game board.
Once you pick it up, it's really easy to learn and they also came out with a Disney version
so if you want to combine Disney and a word strategy game, this is the way to go and this
game, the Codenames game, is only like $15 on Amazon.
Now if you want another game gift idea, we also really love Boulder Dash.
Boulder Dash is a lot like Cards Against Humanity only better I think because people get to
write in their responses and then figure out what's true and what's not and it's just a
really fun, another kind of word game strategy and everybody just has a great time playing
this one.
I've played this with my best friend and her sister and we always just end up cracking
up.
It's so much fun.
So Boulder Dash or Codenames for the game lover.
For the beauty lover, somebody who likes putting themselves together, I highly recommend you
get that person a gel manicure light.
I got one of these for my sister about three years ago for Christmas and she uses it religiously.
So the lights themselves are actually pretty inexpensive.
They're around $25 to $30 and once you have the light, they can get a whole bunch of different
gel polishes and go to town.
It's a really inexpensive way to get that gel manicure without having to go to the nail
salon which is perfect for the time that we are experiencing right now.
Okay for the homebody, I have seen these crisscross slippers everywhere, especially on the light
to know it app and on Instagram and I'm freaking obsessed.
This one is on my list.
I found one that's only $20.
They're super cute.
You can find them at Target.
You can find them at Amazon, Walmart.
I will link to all of this stuff below but they're so cute and comfy and perfect for
anybody who is lounging around the house or working from home and let's be honest, that's
pretty much all of us.
For the tech lover, if you want something really easy that's going to wow them, get
them the Amazon Echo Dot.
They can play their music.
They can use Alexa.
They can sync it up to turn lights on and whatnot around the house and it's less than
$30.
I actually got this as a secret Santa gift last year when I attended my aunt and uncle's
Christmas party and everybody wanted that gift because it's techy but it's actually
really inexpensive.
So that's a really great gift if you're looking for something that is small but also kind
of gadget friendly.
And then bonus content for you, what to put in the stocking.
I always opt for chapstick for both girls and guys and then for girls, I really like
getting them nail polish.
I personally love the Sally Hansen Instadry series or their Miracle Gel.
I just find that their stuff stays on.
In fact, this polish right here has been on for over 10 days now and it seriously has
not chipped.
I'm telling you, the Instadry is the way to go.
And then also, I love doing the little like baby alcohol bottles and just putting those
in.
That's super fun and you can get like Rum Chata or Fireball, something kind of Christmassy
that they normally wouldn't drink.
Or maybe they, maybe people normally drink Rum Chata, I don't know.
And then also, I really like getting those Velcro cable ties.
You can get a pack of 100 on Amazon and then I just split them up and put them into everybody's
stocking.
These are so great for tying up cables like your phone charger cables, anything else like
in a desk drawer.
It just keeps things really organized and something that people don't really think to
buy for themselves until they have it and they're like, this is amazing.
This keeps everything secure and put together.
Love it.
And then if you really want to add something a little intimate, a little intimate but they're
going to appreciate, I highly recommend getting a bottle of the Zumbum.
This is a spray that you literally spray on toilet paper and use to wipe your booty after
a number two.
Yes, we're going there for a holiday gift.
But you can buy two of these on Amazon for like 17 bucks and this makes a great gift.
Kyle and I actually each have one of these in our bathroom and they are, they are awesome.
I kid you not.
They are great.
Very refreshing, easy to use, simple.
Get it for your dad.
