Jewelry
To be honest, no matter how much jewelry a woman has, you usually can’t go wrong with getting her more. There are, in fact, billions of different outfit combinations, and I’m sure she won’t mind having necklaces, bracelets, rings, and even earrings for each one.
Another safe gift list for your special woman. Something that she can hide away and every time she sees it, she thinks of the special Valentines when you gave it to her.
It’s not that you don’t want to spoil your girl. It’s just that Valentine’s Day can be expensive! After a gift, chocolates, AND dinner, it adds up. So, here are a list of gifts for her that were listed under $50 to help you not break the bank.
As you know, we love the cheesy stuff! Whether we deny it or not. This preserved red rose with a necklace to match will make her night! Not to mention it comes with a card and gift wrapping to make your life easy!
Here’s the deal, although fresh flowers are nice, there’s nothing like a flower that never goes away! Not to mention, this one’s dipped in 24 karat gold, which is pretty dang cool!
I’ve got another corny one for you. Although this is a little cheesy, okay maybe a lot cheesy… you can’t go wrong with a candle for Valentine’s Day. So, you might as well make it cute and lovey-dovey!
4. Antique “I can’t help falling in love with you” Music Box LINK
This is my persona favorite! They say the best gifts come in the smallest packages. This is a tiny little music box that sings the song “I can’t help falling in love with you” as you crank it.
This gift is definitely the most personalized of this list. So, if you’ve got a sentimental lady, definitely lean towards getting this engraved wooden box. Not only can you customize the engraving, but then you put whatever images you’d like inside that would be special to you.
Let me know in the comments if this list helped you out! There’s still some time before the big day, so if you comment your suggestions I can go out and search the web for more cheap ideas!
Alright ladies, the time has come where you will get spoiled with flowers, chocolate, dinner, and more (at least you better… if you don’t, reconsider that man!)
But, how do we return the favor? Don’t our men deserve to be spoiled as well? Of course they do! But here is my problem, what is the equivalent of flowers for men? What kinds of gifts do they want on Valentine’s Day?
So, in order to figure this out I have asked a group of men what they would like to get on Valentine’s Day besides, well, you know… the *spicy* stuff.
Here’s what they said!

OK, I’m not going to claim that I am a professional in the PC realm. In fact, I’m pretty uneducated. So, this might be a good gift to actually ask your partner about to make sure you get him the right one. For some that may be taboo, but if you’re going to spend that much, you might as well get the right thing, right?
“But my significant other isn’t a Seahawks fan.” Well, don’t worry, there are a bunch of other Lego sets that you can get for both of you to put together. Lego has finally moved past just star wars and lego Batman, and now there’s houses, flowers, figurines, etc that you two can build together!
This was mentioned multiple times so ladies, let’s not let this idea slide! Here’s a link for a lucky plant! Talk about being a “green” thumb! LINK
This may be a bit expensive for a Valentines gift, but depending on your situation, you might want to get your significant other gun to protect both of you or even just to go to a shooting range together. I also am not a gun expert, but according to my husband, this is a decent one. This was another item that the men mentioned more than once.
So it might just be because I’m in Utah -boo- but I can’t find a alcohol that you can buy from Amazon. So, grab a nice whiskey from the liquor store, or an 6 pack, and complement it with this old fashion mix or custom beer mug set!
It’s hard to go wrong with food for gifts, especially something like beef jerky! Get him this set of 10 different beef jerky to try, and then you can lockdown his favorite for road trips in the future!
6. Something to compliment one of their hobbies
This was a pretty general suggestion, but definitely a good one. Think, if my significant other had all the time in the world, how would he spend it? Here are some hobbies and gift suggestions for each one!

Honorable mentions from the ladies:
Here were some suggestions from the gals that were worth a mention!
I hope that this list has helped! It’s worth mentioning that I had more women responding asking for this list rather than men responding with what they wanted! Let’s help them feel like they deserve to get spoiled too this year!
What are my top favorites from Amazon? Well I’m so glad you asked! In this post, I’ll go over my top Amazon products from 2024. Some are for health, others are decorative or just for day-to-day use. Either way, I hope something on this list helps you out!
Are you tired of getting sick? It’s that time of year where kids will be returning back to school and we are all spending lots of time outside in the cold. I’m not kidding when I say I used to get sick between three and four times a year. It didn’t really matter what it was, stomach bug, cold, flu, tonsillitis, mono……. I just got sick a ton! That was, until fire brew! I truly have gotten sick once in the past two years since taking fire brew. Sold yet?
Now, I’m not going to hide that this stuff is STRONG. My husband took it on an empty stomach and ended up in front of the toilet. So, make sure to eat a couple of crackers before taking a couple of tablespoons. During the winter months, I take 2 tablespoons in the morning and 2 tablespoons at night. That should do the trick! And throughout the rest of the year, if you start feeling sick, just take a couple tablespoons and you’ll feel the magic!
Are you ready for your house to smell AMAZING? OK I know, I can be a bit dramatic. However! These inconspicuous, wireless oil diffusers have absolutely changed the game for smells in my home. I have two cats and we are in a pretty small space, so you can only imagine!
Depending on the setting you have them set to, the oils will diffuse for up to six seconds every 10 to 17 minutes. The batteries last about three months, and one oil refill will last me for just over a month!
For those working women out there, I’ve been wondering for two years how in the HE11 to carry around my 17 inch work laptop?? I mean, this thing is huge!! I truly started taking a carry-on bag JUST for the laptop.
However, thanks to an amazing coworker who found this laptop bag, my neck and back are saved! Not only is this bag large enough to hold my laptop, iPad, multiple books, water bottle, everything that was in my purse, and even more… but you can wear it like a backpack!
Actually, on top of storage, this bag also has a portable charging port and a retractable O-ring that I use for my keys and wallet. What’s not to love?
Shout out to my brother-in-law who got me this for secret Santa! And since then, I’ve practically used it every single day in my car. Imagine, you wake up tired and sore, but get into your car to get a literal back massage, for free! Well, almost…
5. Adjustable Measuring Cups LINK and Tablespoons/Teaspoons LINK
Now, for those that know me, they know that I am not a huge cooker or baker. However, this holiday season I have had a chance to practice my skills, or start growing any skills as I should probably say… I can now vouch for both of these products because holy cow they save me so many dishes and so much storage space!
I hope that you have resonated with some of these products! Comment below what you got!!
Are you the type of person that can’t choose just one style for your home? A mix of two home-decor styles is a common challenge that multiple home-owners run into.
I, personally, bounce between a “Modern” and “Rustic” look. I love the cozy-ness (is that a word) of the Rustic style, but the simplicity and cleanliness of the Modern style.
So, let’s review some Amazon finds that satisfy the Rustic (or Western)/Modern home style, while also on a budget!
Some links in this post are affiliate links that may help me earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
1. Simple-Yet-Western White and Brown Entertainment Stand LINK
This Modern/Rustic TV Stand adds a cozy-Rustic feel to your home with its barn-style doors. To further the look, I add a woven basket with a blanket to the middle section. The Modern look of this stand can be explained by the simplicity. We’ve had this stand for a few years now, and it’s held up great! Being that the price of this TV Stand is under $200(!!), it’s well worth a try!
2. Sleek, Grey Decorative Entertainment Stand LINK
We’ve got an awkwardly-shaped living room. So, we actually have room for two entertainment stands. The one sits below our TV, and this TV Entertainment Stand has a cute circular mirror above it. Similar to the TV stand above, this one features the barn-like doors, and then you can add whatever Rustic or Modern-styled decor on the left shelves.
My only complaint with this stand is that the middle of the stand does not have as much support. So, we just set a small wooden block underneath the middle of the stand, and that works great!
Sitting at under $170, this White & Grey rug can add a neutral style piece to your home. This rug doesn’t necessarily belong to one type of home-style, it can work for any theme you’re aiming for. I chose this for my Modern/Rustic home due to its neutrality.
Though this rug has a tendency to crumple up, we couldn’t resist the price! I mean less than $75 for a rug? That’s a must-have for new home-owners. If no one’s ever told you, rugs are WAY more expensive than you think they will be.
We set this underneath our favorite “Circle Chair” that you can see on #9 below.
For LESS THAN $500, you can get this Grey L-Shaped Sofa that pulls out to a mostly-comfortable sleeper bed, tucks into an L-shape, AND has storage! What more could a home-owner want? Well, one trade off you’ll have to come to terms with is comfort. This couch is pretty stale (can that word be used to describe comfort? Oh well. I’m going for it).
However, 2 years later and my husband and I still have this couch. We just use a fluffy blanket (ever heard of Minky Couture?) that costs less than $100 to cushion our buns and voila! Cheap comfort!
Do you ever sit back and think: I have SO MUCH to store, but so little space? ME TOO! And one thing I’ve learned is to use tall spaces. If you have a room that you need to store a LOT in, but don’t have a lot of floor space, this tall Pantry Cabinet is perfect for you.
I’ve placed this in my guest room, which is even more perfect because it comes with a power strip! Yes, I know it’s meant to be a food pantry buuuut I don’t care! If it fits, it fits!
As for the Modern/Rustic feel with this piece, I love that it’s got the simplicity of modern furniture, while repping the classic barn-style doors. Can you tell I’m a sucker for those?
This black and white Faux Cowhide Rug is definitely more on the Rustic side. However the simplistic coloring of just black and white help to tie in the Modernistic style as well.
This C-Shaped Sofa Side Table fits PERFECTLY with the L-Shaped Sofa in #5 above. You may want to tuck this side table away when you’re not using it, but personally I keep the side table out at all times. It’s our “designated remote spot” so that we don’t lose our TV remote (seriously, when are the geniuses going to get rid of the need for remotes?)
I also appreciate how mobile this C Shaped Sofa Side Table is. We can move it from either side of the couch, as well as in the front if I’m feeling really lazy about reaching for my drink (lol).
Oh yes, you know the one. The infamous “Circle Chair” that I feel like we’ve all run into at one point or another in our lifetimes. That’s the beautiful thing about adulthood, I can buy whatever kind of chair I want for my home! (Don’t ask about the beanbag…).
The actual name of this chair is a “Papasan” chair. And it is truly the most comfortable chair in our home. It’s my favorite coffee-sipping chair in the morning, or bundling up on a winter night with a hot chocolate. Whichever suits your fancy, I definitely wouldn’t pass up on this chair.
Now, one warning I have to give is that the ball-bearings on this chair don’t tend to last very long. However, once we replaced the original with this stronger swivel, we’ve had no issue!
Plants can belong in Modern/Rustic style, right? Well, if not, I’ve made it so!
This is one of my most favorite plant hangers. It lets the plant speak for itself, while also having a neat and simplistic shape. Tie this in next to your circular mirror, and you’ve got a slew of eye-appealing shapes!
I hope you’ve moved forward with some of the items above to help advance your Modern/Rustic in the cheapest way possible!
If you purchased one of the items above, let me know in the comments how you’re liking the product!
Ok, we’ve all been there. It’s December 20th, your family holiday party is in just 3 days and you have NO IDEA what to get! Whether it’s small gift ideas for each member in the family, or a Secret Santa style gift with a small budget, I’ve got your back.
And, in typical Paige fashion, let’s get right to it.
I truly have ONE niece, spend zero time around children otherwise, and have STILL heard about this Bluey show. It’s supposedly even good for adults! (Haven’t tried it out yet, but who knows?) Your sweet nieces or nephews (or you, no judgement) will just love these adorable plushies!
I wasn’t quite sure what to think on this one, but with how quickly fidget spinners took off I can only image how well transformer fidget spinners will be!
I’m actually not sure about this calendar, I think its days are numbered… hehe… get it?? Ok ok, I’m not a dad and I’m terrible with jokes but I couldn’t resist that one.
We’ve all seen those Tik Tok videos of families playing these games that seem too dumb to be fun, yet, here we are. There’s a whole set of “dumb-but-fun” games put together for yourself, or a great family gift!
I don’t know about you, but I have never met someone who doesn’t want a massage of some sort. So, save their money and get them this automatic neck massager!
Talk about making someone’s day with a Magic Bullet Blender! Remember, New Years Resolutions are just around the corner – working out and drinking protein shakes are about to be someone’s main focus for, well, at least 2 months…
And for my final favorite last-minute holiday gift, a heated eye massager. As someone that personally struggles from migraines, I can only imagine how amazing this must feel!
I hope you enjoyed! Let me know what you got in the comments!
