10 Birthday Gifts Under $50

Hey again guys! If you have me on snapchat then you probably noticed that my best friend's birthday is 9 days after mine, so I've been giving and getting lots of presents here lately. My bestie is broke AF too so this post is what we got each other plus some other ideas for when you have a friend's birthday coming up but have a small budget.

Shirt- $20

My bestie recently got this shirt (not from me but ugh I wish I'd thought of it) and it's perfect because she always jokes that it speaks to her soul. A cute shirt like this isn't expensive but is still personal and funny. Basically anything that would be great for a Saturday afternoon will be perfect to get.

Snapchat Filter - $25

I got this for her and I'm really proud of it because she loved it and it was so cheap. Even one of our other friends who has a birthday coming up was heavily hinting that she wanted one. The most stressful part definitely is making sure that you have the right time and location for the filter to go live. We ended up going out an hour before this one went live so I was anxiously waiting until I could have her take a picture with it. I got this filter custom made off Etsy for only $10 and then paid $15 for the filter to cover the bar we were at for 3 hours. Just make sure you order all this a few days in advance so you're not worried like me that you won't get it approved in time.

Champagne Bong - $25

I felt like a Snapchat filter wasn't a whole lot to give so I hopped on Amazon and was browsing around when I came across this chambong and it's the perfect present! It's basically the classier version of a beer bong. It's just something a little fun to bring to a birthday party that everyone loves to try out. Plus it's pretty cheap and definitely unique.

Monogrammed Initial Ring- $28

Ok sorry but I love a good monogram. If your friend does too, a great little gift would be something like a rose gold ring with their initial on it from Eve's Addiction. Just a tip with ordering custom-made birthday presents is make sure you don't wait last minute to order it or else it will definitely show up late and that's awkward.

Makeup - $29

My bestie got me a Tarte Amazon combo so I got this blush and this highlighter. Makeup is a great gift because surely your friend has mentioned that she's out of something or wants to try something, plus it's one thing you know they need/will use daily. You could also do lots of little things like nail polish or a facial mask or bath bomb (lol so basically an at-home spa night). 

Succulent or Cactus Set - BFF gift guide under $50. Birthday gift guide under $50. Birthday presents under $50. Birthday gift guide. | brazenandbrunette.com

Succulent or Cactus Set- $30

I recently got into small-scale gardening AKA putting plants in pots and then putting them on a semi-sunny shelf and watering them every now and then. I got this planting pot set that is the perfect size and it's technically made for succulents but mini cacti fit perfectly as well. The pots are like $18 and then you can spend like $10 getting mini plants. Then this is a present that she'll see everyday and hopefully will last for several years after her birthday.

Flowers - BFF gift guide under $50. Birthday gift guide under $50. Birthday presents under $50. Birthday gift guide. | brazenandbrunette.com

Flowers Delivered- $34

You can never go wrong with sending your bestie flowers like the White Lily Bouquet from Send Flowers, especially if she's single or if you know her boyfriend isn't already getting her some. You can either get them delivered straight to her or you can get them delivered to you and then you show up and surprise her with them. Or if she's not a big flower kind of girl, you could get a balloon bouquet from here instead.

Cocktail Set- $35

I love when I get to use my cocktail set because I feel like such an adult using an actual cocktail shaker to mix my drinks instead of just doing a shot with a chaser. Plus a pretty set like this copper cocktail set looks so classy sitting out on a bar cart or even a counter. Then y'all can have a girls night later on practicing making new recipes so you know more than just 2 things to order at a bar.

Phone Case- $45

Another option that you know she'll need and use every day is a phone case. I really like the custom Say My Name phone cases from Casetify because anything personalized shows that you put in that little effort to make something for them and didn't just grab the first thing you saw in a store. This is definitely a great gift for that person who always is dropping her phone.

Kendras- $50

Both of my roommates my senior year of college worked in a store that sold Kendra Scott earnings like these Sophia earrings. I love my Kendra collection because they're not super expensive and they go with everything! I have this exact pair that I wear almost every day to school and I've even started wearing my solid-colored ones to work after meeting a trial lawyer and even judge who both wore them to court.

  1. I never know what to get my friends when it's their birthday or another event and this is just the perfect list for gifts under 50 that are also thoughtful so thanks a lot.

  2. This usually takes the form of leaving the gift in conspicuous place for the recipient to find or giving the person the gift knowing they will not see the recipient for an extended period of time.http://joululahjas.fi/muut-lahjat/30-vuotislahja/

  4. The best gifts usually come when they are unexpected rather than being given on birthdays or holidays. But that doesn't mean that gifts on birthdays or holidays can't be great. For me, a birthday gift isn't something you can wrap, but something that you can experience for the day.

  5. Champagne Bong is certainly new to my list. Haven't thought this of presenting before. Can definitely make difference and it is also innovative..
