Holiday Gift Guide - Under $50

My sisters and I recently started a new tradition for holiday gift giving of curating gift boxes for each other based on a certain theme. Our themed boxes from the past year were “sparkles” - filled with shimmery make-up and glittery accessories, “sustainable kitchen” - filled with things like reusable straws, beeswax wrap, stasher bags etc., and “relaxation” - linen spray, ice roller, masage tools. I thought, if I was going to put together a holiday box to pamper a pregnant person or new parent what would I include? Here’s what I came up with if you need some inspiration. Everything comes in under $50 and would also make great stand-alone gifts of stocking stuffer for the pregnant or postpartum people in your life.

Eye gels ($3-$35) - to soothe and refresh tired eyes.

Ice roller ($9.99) - I find this so relaxing and it’s great for the skin.

Extra large water bottle 64 ounces ($18) or 40 ounces ($49.95) - breast/chestfeeding is thirsty work.

Aromatherapy like this create your own set (from $25.95) or this rollerball ($28).

Heat and cold pack ($44) - for the many aches and pains of new parenthood

Wireless earbuds ($45 and up) - to keep cords from getting tangled while they multitask

One Line a Day Journal ($15), Promptly Journal ($37.99), or any other beautiful blank journal.

Lactation Bites (3 pack for $24), Boobie Bark, questionable name, but ok (8.99), or any other homemade or store-bought yummy snacks

Shower steamers ($15) to make a rushed shower just a little bit more relaxing.

Bath soak ($20)

Extra Long charging cable ($40) or charging pad ($50) currently on sale here. 

Lip balm ($6.99)

Silk scrunchie and eye mask set ($15)

Hydrating mist ($12) or this ($18)

Gripper slippers ($40) would be great for the hospital and good to prevent slips at home too,

Cozy compression socks ($32)

Lidded coffee mug ($29.99) to help keep coffee warm and prevent spills while multi-tasking.

A multi-purpose balm ($28), this option includes natural menthol to use on temples or sore muscles.

Luxurious Hand balm ($30)

Deodorizing Wipes ($14) and underarm soap ($8) - postpartum BO can be such a bummer.

Uterine Heat/icepack ($14) breast and chest ice/heat back ($16)
