Great gifts aren't always expensive

5 Best Dirty Santa Gifts When You're on a Budget

The holidays are always fun, but they are always expensive as well. From work parties to Friendsmas gatherings to 5 different family Christmases, it can be hard to find those great gifts in the price range that allows you to attend all of these events. With some experience and my mom's experience, I have come up with some great gifts that any dirty Santa attendee would love to receive.

Gift Cards

Gift cards are always a spot on gift just because it doesn't have the chance of not fitting into someone's gift preferences. A Target gift card is always me dream gift, but I am also slightly addicted and could spend hours in there every single day.

A Pamper Basket

This idea is more for a girls only game, but a basket with face masks, nail polish, and fuzzy socks would be a cheap but great gift. Everyone wants a face masks and some socks to put on at night!

Anything cooking related

While this gift does not really benefit the teenagers, but adults will steal this gift in a heart beat. Everyone is looking for a reason to cook, especially during holiday season.

Candles

You cannot go wrong with candles, unless they smell bad (haha). Everybody loves candles, whether it's moms or boyfriends who can regift them to their girlfriend. While candles can be a tad overpriced, there are always sales going on this time of year, which makes them smell even better.

Candy with money

This gift could NEVER go wrong. Who wouldn't want candy and money?? A basket of some of your favorite candy with a $5 or $10 bill slapped on the front is a very easy gift that would definitely reach the 2 steal limit.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
