these are a few of my favorite things [gifts <$100]


Time for the grand finale of this super fun linkup series!!!!

Grab the button above, link it back to Cheers Y'all and Down with the Dearmore's, & share your favorite gifts <$100...for anyone and everyone!
(For more detailed instructions...check our this post!)

Here are some gift ideas from yours truly... :)
 


 
one // My favorite red wine right now (and my sister's and my mama's favorite too). Give this as a gift (and get some for yourself too). No one will be disappointed. :)
 
two // One of England's best kept secrets. Why oh why do we Americans still put our kettles on the stove?! I'm telling you, this thing is a game changer. Especially if you are a big tea drinker (like my hubs!). This is the exact one we have, and I couldn't love it or recommend it more. Even the "dinngggg" when the water is ready is cute (seriously).
 
 three // Faux Fur Throw...the Pottery Barn look without the Pottery Barn price. Even though I love me some Pottery Barn, I don't like to fork over the cash all the time. Thank you, Tar-jay.
 
four // ...because a Cheers Y'all canvas won't do ya wrong! [Eeeep! Can't wait for the post-Christmas canvas collection to come out...!!!]
 
five // I have a Table Topics game, but I don't have this "Not Your Mom's Dinner Party" version. How could it not be good? This is the recipe for perfection for fellow game-loving open books like myself. :)
 
six // My mom had the brilliant idea of ordering Elf Yourself mugs (with the 3 kids and 2  dogs in my family) a few years back...let me tell you...they do not disappoint. Such a hilarious and fun idea that you will love bringing out year after year (or keeping out for use all year long)!
 
seven // I told y'all I love games! This is an easy favorite. The electronic version makes it easy to take anywhere!!
 
eight // I LOVE CONVERSE. For me. On my hubs. On little kids. You name it...I love thhheeemm. I have an olive colored pair (that I can't seem to find online at the moment), and I wear them all the time. My jam.

nine // I mean...a fire pit? How cool would this be to give as a gift?! Maybe it's my new-found love affair with fires since we have a fireplace in our home now...but regardless. People you love, a warm fire, lots of chatter, smores...sounds like perfection to me!!
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can't wait to see your ideas! 
 
I now have a go-to place (THIS LINK UP!) for all birthday/special/just-for-fun gifts for friends and family THROUGHOUT THE YEAR! So I'll be stalking yall's posts after Christmas too!!! ;) 
 
 Link-up, buttercups!
