50 Fabulous Gift Ideas Under $50 (Handmade by Makers)

Is it too early to be thinking about Christmas?  Well, for me and my husband, the answer would be a resounding ‘no,’ but perhaps not for the cheery reason that you may think. Hubby & I are always in search of ways to reduce the stress and chaos of the season. One thing that we try to do each year is to purchase most – if not all – of our Christmas gifts in November.  It really helps us free up time towards other preparations before the Big Day (like decorating – yay 🙂 ). So, if you’re like us – or you simply want to get more organized this year – then let me get you started with this list of 50 fabulous gift ideas under $50 handmade by makers.
