$10 Thursday (3) -online deals

^Priced at $10.00 from Amazon.com, this is a steal. This would be a great stocking stuffer. found here.

I don't know about other folks but I know that most of my friends and family tend to destroy ipod headphones within weeks of buying new ones. So things like these $9.95 ear buds usually end up in a few stockings. found here at Amazon.

When I saw this on Amazon (yeah I really love that site) I nearly swooned. Priced at $9.45 this is a bundle of messy happiness for any kid (or adult!). found here.

^A super simple gift for anyone who loves homemade food and sweets! Priced at $9 found here at Etsy.

^Simple but brilliant, you can customize the candy in your jar (there are 4 different kinds of candy). Priced at $6.95 you can find them here at ABC Distributing.

^This is by far probably the best steal I've seen online in a while. Usually these little lip glosses by Burt's Bees are $3 or so a pop. I've found this lovely set for $3.75 here at Amazon.

$10 Thursday (2) - drugstore stocking stuffers

Priced at $1.99 at drugstore.com, these things are amazing. They really can save your life. My father's addicted to them and my mother always had a handful in the bottom of her purse (mostly used during church after communion hehe, cheap wine bleck). found here.






Almost always a good idea, lotto tickets are fun and occasionally a gift that keeps on giving! Be sure that you know the recipients stand on gambling before you consider this, though. This one is priced at $2 (in case you didn't notice the big yellow dot) and obviously only available in MD.

Another of my dad's favorites these little crackers are awesome. They come in almost million flavors now and are just plain fun. I've always thought it would be a cute everyday gift to a boyfriend or husband to stick them in the pantry with a post-it note saying "of all the fish in the sea, you're the one for me!". Priced at $2.19 from Walgreens.com. found here.

Behold, the most manly hand cream ever. This stuff really works magic on those dry calloused hands of older (and younger!) men (and women!). Priced at $7.99 and totally worth it during these dry winter months. found here.

A must have on Christmas morning, it's always a bummer to get a new toy or gadget and run to the junk drawer only to find you only have 1 battery left. Negate the horror and use a new pack as an extra gift! priced at $7.99 at drugstore.com. found here.

Seeing that my entire family are coin lovers (my father's father kept a stash of 2 litter bottles filled with quarters in the back of their closet -just in case, and my mother's father collected foreign coins, me hehe - I just keep a jar by my bed and roll them when it fills) I loved this idea. Far more cheap than most models I've seen, this would make a great stocking stuffer for anyone trying to save or maybe even little ones that love to collect coins. Priced at $8.99 on Amazon.com. found here.

As a full out tomboy, this is my dream toy. I just imagine sneaking up on Kevin in the apartment with this bad boy or surprising my Dad when he drops by. Priced at $9.88 this is not only a steal but a joy to anyone, any gender, any age. found here.

$10 Thurday (1)

So again, today I was searching for cheapie gifts and could not believe how almost impossible it is to find a blog dedicated to gifts under a particular price range!

So here I am, announcing $10 Thursdays (and perhaps later if I become more ambitious I'll add in $20 Tuesdays) where one entire post on that day will be about giftys found online that cost 10 bucks or less - occasionally I may throw in the one odd ball that's a tad more pricey if only because it's too cool to ignore.

Here I show you these ^ candle sticks from CB2 priced at $3.95 each, a brilliant hostess gift or even a cheapish wedding gift! found here.

And this little Christmas ornament ^ (also from CB2) would be a great gift for mom or grandmother or anyone really, priced at $3.95 also it looks to me like one of those ornaments you'd always smile on as you hung it on the tree. found here.

As the future wife of an all around avid gamer, these ^ hour glasses simply spoke to me. Priced at $9.95 (small one) and $29.95 (large one) from CB2, these just look like fun to have around. Perhaps not as easily giftable but still has quite a bit of potential. found here.

This three part appetizer/ dip server ^ is just plain classy in my book, priced at $9.95 from Crate & Barrel, it would make a lovely hostess gift. found here.

These magnetic hooks ^ are amazing in my book. A set of these mini magnet hooks (that also come in 3 other colors) costs $8.95 and would be perfect for someone living in a small apartment (thinking of buying them myself). Imagine sticking them to the fridge and hanging everything from keys to oven mitts to a simple Christmas ornament. Love these, probably buying them for myself ^_^ found here.

As a lover of pigs (I was basically raised in a town named Pigtowne), Polka dots and random, this ^ Piggie bank made me swoon. NOT exactly in the Thursday price range, this beauty costs $15.95 at Crate & Barrel. Love the pig. found here.

These rings ^ (and half the rest of the store's small cheap gift section) simply scream BRIDESMAID GIFTS to me. Priced fairly cheap at $4 a pop, these joys are girly, quirky and unfortunately, only sold in store at Pier 1. found here.

I'll admit, as much as I love writing and adore looking at journals, it was the price of these ^ that caught my eye. Priced at only $2.18 over at Pier 1, these lovely useful gifts are also only sold in store. found here.
