We all love this time of the year. Full of joy, holiday spirit, and tons of spending. Yes, the holidays have become synonym with over spending. With all your friends and everyone expecting to get some sort of present we came up with this great idea that if everyone draws a name and the person you pull is the only one you buy one nice present for, then we won’t all go broke! Now while this is a great idea, sometimes you get stuck not being able to get the person you have something really nice because of the cost limit, or you basically have no idea what you should buy. We all get stuck in this situation at one point or another but there are a few ways to avoid getting someone something they don’t like. So here are 5 creative ideas to do on your $20 or less secret santa budget.

1. Some sort of item that holds liquids filled with your choice of candy.

2. A clear phone case with a picture of the two of you taped on the back. (If you don’t have a picture together tape a picture of their pet.)

3. A picture frame decorated and filled with a collage of all their favorite things in life.

4. A wine glass the size of your torso painted with cute designs.

5. A mason jar filled with mini nail polishes.

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin.
