Gifts under R150 that aren’t cheap

If you’re looking for fabulous little spoils for someone special this festive season but you don’t believe in going broke for the sake of giving a good gift, then you’ve come to the right place.

 

I’ve rounded up some of my favourite, cost effective spoils that are cute and thoughtful without looking cheap and nasty (from left to right)…

1. Ma Mere Gold Sugar (R109) is a cute little gift that is full of sparkle. Find it direct from Ma Mere or from Poetry Online.
2. Large Gold Hair Pin (R99) from MeiVee is a great gift for the girl who likes to look cute and play with cute bun hairstyles. I have the Large and small hair pin from them and love them both. They are super well made and last. The gold plating looks as good as it did the day I bought it.
3. Skoon Bamboo Muslin Face Cloth (R109) from Woolworths. Also available on Takealot, Superbalist and Faithful to Nature. I have a stash of these which I use for my own face and also to give as cute and thoughtful gifts because they are so unique and I love the artistic illustrations on the cloth. 
4. 100% Mulberry Silk Scrunchies (R69 each) from MeiVee. I love these luxurious skinny silk scrunchies! I bought them in black and buttercream and they are the only hair bands I like to use these days. They keep my hair secure without snagging and they don’t break my hair because I never get my knots tangled. Plus, they look super cute on your wrist too – better than those horrible old school bobbles that cut off your blood supply.
5. Everyday Fork (R140) from Babylonstoren. How friggin cute is this stainless steel, brushed gold fork that will look so adorbs on your cheese board. Love, love, love!
6. Paper Pot Maker (R140) from Babylonstoren.  I bought one of these to help kickstart my Spring sowing in the garden, and I can’t tell you how much fun I’ve had making my own biodegradable seedling pots with nothing but newspaper and this super cute wooden Paper Pot Maker. I think it would make a fabulous gift for anyone with a green thumb.
7. Africology Shampoo & Conditioner Gift Set (R119 down from R149.98) from Africology is a great gift for hair lovers and comes beautifully presented in a hand sewn linen bag. Even at it’s full retail price, it still comes in as a great gift under R150.
