With a one-year-old at home, this holiday season looks a lot different than those of the past. While I’ve exchanged glittering Christmas parties for messy glitter art, the circle of people we want to share the holiday spirit with continues to grow. Life with baby is hectic, so finding the perfect gift for loved ones that suit their tastes and meet my standards is even trickier when you add in a tight budget and even tighter schedule.
We’ve gathered a list of gifts all under $25 that appeal to all types of people and situations, and they can all be found at Whole Foods Market for a quick, one-stop shop. Here’s my shopping list for a budget-friendly, stress-free holiday season. Prices may vary, so check your local store opens in a new tab for information.
