20 Gifts Under $30 To Get Your Favorite Guy
I am convinced that the hardest part of the holiday season is finding the perfect gift for your favorite guy, especially when you've put it off until the last possible second. When it comes to me, I'm pretty simple — buy me something pretty, something delicious, or something that will relax me, and I'm totally game. But finding last-minute gifts for guys? It can be tough to figure out where to even start.
Whether you are shopping for your dad, brother, boyfriend, or boss, I've rounded up something fun and functional for everyone on your list (and not a tie or gift card is in sight).
Whoever your favorite guy is, I promise you they won't even have to do that unconvincing "Oh wow I... uh... love it" when they open your gift (and you won't find it in their closet hidden under a pile of clothes six months later — throwing major shade at you, Dad).
And the best part? Since these 20 gifts are all under $30, you can buy a few as stocking stuffers for your favorite dudes without breaking your bank. With your leftover money, you should totally treat yourself to a congratulatory mani — after all, you did pick out the perfect gift.
