Happy Wednesday, friends! Since last year’s 50 gifts under $50 post (you can see that here) was super popular, I couldn’t let the holiday season pass without sharing one for this year. I’ve rounded up the best 50 gifts that are all under that $50 price tag. And of course I stuck with a color theme! From blush pink to magenta and everything in between, these gifts are perfect stocking stuffers or gifts for your sister or friends. Since there are so many products, I tried to break down the items by shade so it is easier to view. You can also scroll down to the bottom of the post and click directly on the product picture! Without further ado, here is this year’s 50 gifts under $50!

Christmas Breakfast Casserole

breakfast casserole recipe

One of the things I look forward to most on Christmas morning are the breakfast casseroles. I know, it probably sounds crazy, but this is one of the few mornings that it seems alright to indulge in the “not so healthy” breakfast foods. My mom usually makes a french toast bake and egg casserole, both of which are fan favorites. I thought I would take my mom’s usual egg casserole recipe and make a few changes, including adding hash browns, for a different spin. The hash browns were the perfect addition! This new Christmas breakfast casserole might just be the new go-to on Christmas morning.

Happy Friday Eve, friends! I’m back today with another holiday dress. Last week, I shared this velvet bell sleeve dress (you can see the post here). But this week’s holiday party dress is a little different. I spotted this dress a few months ago and knew it would be perfect for the holiday season and even for New Year’s Eve!

Happy Wednesday, friends! How is your holiday shopping going? I say this every year, but my dad and husband are always the hardest for me to buy for. Maybe it’s because they never ask for ANYTHING! This year, I am thankfully finished with my shopping (including the two hardest on my list!) but I wanted to share a gift guide for the guys for this week’s gift guide. Although men are typically difficult to buy for (at least in my experience) it seems like each year I find more and more gift possibilities. I think retailers have upped their game because they know how much women suffer when it comes to finding the perfect gift for all the men in their lives! Anyways, here are this year’s picks for the guys.

Wednesday Wishes Gift Guide edition is here featuring holiday gifts under $100! Since I typically only share women’s clothing and accessories in Wednesday Wishes, I decided to skip the Gifts for Her this year and focus on a gift guide that is more cost friendly. Although, this particular gift guide could actually be gifts for her under $100! With Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I feel like all I have been doing lately is making collages! As much as I love finding the products and putting these posts together, I am ready for a break…and for stores to re-stock! Without further ado, here is this year’s holiday gifts under $100!
