On A Budget? These Gifts Are Under $20 And You'd Never Know It
It’s no secret we don’t all have the dollar-dollar bills that say, Justin Bieber or Kylie Jenner have. And while we may all love to fantasize about what it’d be like to be gifted a f*cking Maserati or, I don’t know, say $100,000 worth in red roses, it’s just that: a fantasy.
Sure, a girl can dream, but a girl might also be on a budget, too. If your wallet is tighter than the Botoxed lips of a Kardashian friend who just signed an NDA, then don’t stress. There are still some amazing gifts you can give this holiday season — without breaking the bank and putting yourself in debt.
