Holiday gift ideas that you'd actually WANT to give (or keep!)

It’s the unofficial holiday we all love to hate: BLACK FRIDAY! For some of us, this whole post-Thanksgiving weekend is going to be all about the deals and getting presents at the lowest prices we can find. It’s actually a pretty good time to find some of those inevitable white elephant and Secret Santa gifts, too. If you’ve got a coworker, friend, family member, or just yourself to buy for, we’ve found a few doozies that are guaranteed to please someone out there.

I’ve included gifts in a variety of price ranges since there’s usually a limit or minimum when it comes to these round robin-style gift exchanges.

Pro tip: are you organizing the Secret Santa gifts? This site allows you to add all of the names you need and have everyone generate a match. This helps when you’re not all in the same room literally picking from a hat. We all don’t live in the same town, Aunt Janet!

Back to our regularly scheduled Secret Santa shopping, all sorted neatly by price to match your gifting needs…

For gifting, they’ve got build-your-own kit sets (if you know what color your pal wants) or go for a gift card if you just want to give the gift of dope hair.
