10 Awesome Holiday Gifts Under $100

'Tis the season of giving! Even the most organized and well planned among us can find ourselves leaving holiday shopping to the last minute.

So if you find yourself frantically attempting to cross through that list of names, we’re here to help! A little inspiration is always useful, and after all, nobody needs another gift card.

For many,  the holidays are often seen as a time of worry. Among the pressure of gift-giving are tangled lights, never-ending baking (READ: dishes) and of course a slew of guests. Instead of stressing this year, however, let’s all learn to savor the season and create meaningful memories that will one day turn into traditions. Try to focus on the important things and let them rank highest on your to-do lists. While presents are always an enjoyable part of the holidays, there’s so much more to this time of year, and you simply can’t put a price on quality, memorable moments spent with family and friends.  

And of course every January brings along some renewed optimism; typically for change, sometimes big and sometimes small, and that’s a wonderful thing. Some may make the commitment to jumpstart a new exercise regimen or start eating smarter. Some may commit to spending more quality time with loved ones or devoting more time to giving back. Whatever it may be, a fresh start gives us a chance to reinvent and reinvigorate ourselves. Remember that anything is possible! And that is a gift, my friends, which we can all appreciate. Say goodbye to the old and anything that may be holding you back and welcome the New Year in good spirits.

HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON!
