Under $30 Gifts

I've got a family of 11 to buy holiday presents for, but I always want to get gifts for coworkers, friends, neighbors, etc.  It can be hard to think of a gift that isn't overly expensive, but still thoughtful and nice.  Here are some more affordable options that could even make great stocking stuffers!

So ME Room

If only I could change my room to be more like this! I love these colors, patterns, mixture of modern and vintage, neon lights, and rich wood.  Not to mention the $1k cashmere throw blanket...oh me oh my.  It's also the bedroom to this living room....and not even on purpose!

Items not labeled:
Pillows: Gilt (Deny Designs and E by Design)
Throw Blanket: ABC Home (Kevin O'brien)
Chairs: One Kings Lane
Candle: Pier 1

Cheaper Chic

Realizing that I usually post quite expensive furniture rooms, I attempted to design one that is a little more affordable.   I wanted it to be classic, fresh, but still chic!  I personally shop at West Elm, Pier 1, Z Gallerie, and Cost Plus, so I am happy to use the stores that I know and love.

Keep Pretending - Room

I remember when I first saw the movie "Big", and I thought of how I would've decorated my apartment at that age:  trampoline, Pacman arcade, waterbed, graffit wall..I could go on. I've been thinking lately how I can be such a 30 year old kid sometimes.  I am responsible and independent, yes, but I play with my friends all the time and do love being silly and spontaneous.  That's where the design of this room came from - it's got a hammock, fun rug, girly colors, silly pillow, and even oversized Jim Henson quote.  Just simple, innocent, and fun.

Leather and Luxe

I'm not sure that I'd actually want a leather couch for as much as I love napping on mine; however, they are just so cool, and Rusty's hair would just slip right off.  An unconventional color makes for a pretty awesome choice as well. This room just came together mostly from a bunch of neat pieces on Gilt and One Kings Lane.  If you don't know about either site, they are discount designer flash sales....so get 'em while they're hot!
