As the holiday season approaches, so does stress over getting the perfect gifts for your friends and family. It’s never easy or cheap to get gifts for all of your loved ones.

For this reason, the holidays can be very frustrating, but they don’t have to be. I’ve compiled a list of easy gift ideas for even the most stubborn people you’re buying gifts for!

  • Candles make great gifts for everyone, especially for those that you don’t know very well. They are perfect for last minute gifts, as you can buy them almost anywhere. They are relatively cheap as well. Sometimes there’s nothing better than lighting a Christmas scented candle on a cold winter day as the snow falls outside.

  • Although makeup isn’t for everyone, it is a convenient gift for all of the makeup lovers in your lives. It can be costly depending on whether or not you’re buying high-end makeup. However, there are a lot of deals around Christmas. Personally, makeup is one of my favorite things to receive during Christmas, and it’s one of my favorite things to give!

  • In this day and time, everyone is always on the run. Most people don’t have time to sit down and drink a cup of coffee before school or work. For this reason, to go coffee cups are perfect gifts for many. Coupled with Starbucks gift cards, these cute cups are sure to make anyone happy.

  • Winter accessories, such as scarves, are another of my gift go-tos. They are cute, comfy, and perfect for Kentucky’s bitter winters! Around winter time, most clothing stores sell them. They are typically affordable, costing around $10-20. Since they are such popular holiday gifts, they often go on sale around Christmas time too.

  • As the year comes to a close many people find themselves in need of a new planner. Planners make fantastic gifts for both your organized and unorganized friends. It’s a gift that can be used all year long!

  • String lights make cute, trendy gifts for those who love to decorate. Fairy lights can turn a boring room into a Pinterest fantasy for only $15!

  • Facemasks are one of the hottest beauty trends right now, and contrary to the beliefs of many, they aren’t just for girls. They come in many different varieties; you can even get one shaped like a reindeer!

  • Everyone needs an ugly Christmas sweater! The uglier, the better. They can be worn to Christmas parties, family gatherings, or out Christmas shopping. This makes them perfect gifts for your friends with a sense of humor and Christmas spirit.

  • Gift cards are a last resort for gift giving, but still an option nonetheless. Many seem to think they are impersonal, but pairing them with a sentimental card with a nice message is a simple way to fix this.
