Under $15 Gift Guide + How Our Family Is Celebrating Christmas This Year

How We Used To Celebrate Christmas

_{Growing up, my parents always showered my sister and me with lots of gifts. It makes Christmas super fun as a kid, doesn’t it? No complaints here! Those were some magical mornings.}

 _{And while we continued that tradition well into adulthood probably for longer than we should have (again, no complaints – haha), once my niece Kaylee came along, we started to do things differently.}

_{In an attempt to get things under control, the past few years we’ve started doing Secret Santa. Everyone draws a name and then you buy a gift for the name you drew. I think we did a $50 spending limit.}

The New Way We’re Celebrating Christmas This Year

_{But to shake things up this year, we’re going to try something new that my sister and Kaylee found online.}

_{It’s called Switch, Steal, Unwrap Gift Exchange.}

 _{Have you heard of it? Or do you do it?}

 _{You can find the instructions here.} 

_{Here’s How It Works:}

_{– Each person buys three gifts.}

_{– Each gift should cost no more than $10 each.}

_{Find the full instructions and a free printable of the game here.}

_{What’s tricky is that the gifts need to be able to appeal to guys, girls and (in our case) ages 13-60s.-} 

 _{It’s not so easy!}

 _{But I love a good challenge and had fun finding things that could fit the bill.}

Gifts Under $15 

_{I thought I’d share my roundup for Gifts Under $15 in case you’re on the hunt for a similar gift exchange, whether it be office gifts for co-workers, Secret Santa, stocking stuffers, or what have you.}

 _{If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear!}

_{Likewise, if you have any traditions or family gift exchange ideas, I’m all ears!}
