I’m continuing my budget-themed gift guides with a roundup of beautiful gift ideas for $50 and under. Yesterday, we tackled presents under $25, so today we’ll up the ante a tiny bit for gifts that will make beautiful presents but still won’t break the bank. The fun thing about a slightly higher price point is that it starts to open doors to things that are sparkly, shiny and a bit more luxe. I hope you’ll find something for your loved ones, or that these gifts can spark an idea for something even more exciting. xo, grace

Wonderful gift ideas! I want that glass piggy bank!
The piggy bank link says it’s $39 not $29 :/ though it is still super cute..
Thanks, Ashley! I made the fix! :) -Amy

I have the VJ iphone case! It’s awesome, I call it my phone snuggie, except way more stylish.
The bunny next to the pillow is adorable. Looks like he’s eating it!
The convex mirrors are so cool! I love them
My 4 year old nephew is a coin counting freak and will love the glass piggy bank. Thanks for these fun gift guides! I’m really enjoying them.
