Small gifts under $20

I hate the term "stocking stuffers," but I guess that is what these are.
They are also good for office gift exchanges and little presents for your friends.

 $9.50 Nails Inc 3D glitter polish
Fun and sparkly and especially perky on toes. It also comes in purple, silver, and blue.

$16 Philosophy Candy Cane trio
Wintery and fresh lotion, body wash, and lip balm. It's too bad it comes in this girly packaging because it could have been for men too. Maybe buy the set and then repackage it in a shiny black gift bag for a man.

$10 Brush wand
OMG! New favorite thing that I should have.
It is four little brushes that stack together to make a long wand. You can reconfigure them so the tip you need is on top.
This would be perfect to put in your purse or your makeup kit that you use to travel with.
I usually don't travel with brushes, but sometimes I wish I could for eyeshadow. The cap is really key, because then the brushes don't get crushed or smear shadow on the rest of your stuff. I wish the brushes were a little softer looking- like a wider shadow brush.

$16 Curious Deciduous Salad plateI love these quirky and beautiful designs.
It's fun to have a "special plate" for cookies or everyday use that is just your plate and no one else can use. I don't like when everything matches, because then how can you choose a special plate?

$6 Seed bombs
Give this to your favorite radical farmer, or coop or CSA member. You can throw the pods anywhere outside and they will sprout into herbs. You don't need to dig a hole or anything, you can just toss them and give random gifts of basil to unsuspecting neighbors.

$15 Honey Candle Co. Beeswax pillar
Beeswax smells so good and has a natural warm yellow color. But the candles are always a little too expensive for me to justify buying for myself. Who wouldn't want one of these?

$13 Gray sea salt jar with spoon
Sea salt is a fun thing that people don't usually buy for themselves, and the packaging makes this one a good gift. Even non-cooks know how to put salt on something.

$17 Balsamic vinegar from Modena
A little 8 oz bottle of the real deal Italian certified stuff. It looks like you have won a prize with its fancy labels and ribbons!
