Perfect Cheap Thoughtful Gifts for Her
1) Forever Flowers
A bouquet of flowers is a beautiful and timeless gift to give on special occasions, but they can be expensive. Not to mention that they don't last very long. You could go with artificial flowers, but they just don't give off the same vibe as real ones do, am I right? So, what's the solution? Forever Flowers! These Preserved Flowers from the Khiva Store on Amazon offer the perfect balance of beauty and longevity, while being relatively easy on the wallet. At under $10 these Eternal Roses are unique affordable gifts that are sure to please. They come in a wide array of colors too, which is a bonus!

2) Bottle of Wine/Cider (with Wine Glasses)

I love the luxurious feeling of drinking from a wine glass, don't you? Even when I'm only drinking sparkling water, it makes me feel like I've earned something for all of my hard work that day and am celebrating my accomplishments! So I love gifting that same feeling to others. An inexpensive bottle of wine from your local liquor store can cost as little as $5 to $10. Or an alcohol-free bottle of sparkling cider is even cheaper - like this Martinelli's Sparkling Blush Cider from Target.
Great online options to buy affordable wine:
These Mainstay Wine Glasses from Walmart are simple and elegant and they are under $2 each. Buy two glasses to make a pair! Or if you'd like something a bit more visually appealing, these Teal Flair Wine Glasses by Better Homes and Gardens are just the thing at under $3 each.
3) Self Care Set
You can never go wrong with a luxurious self-care gift set. It's one of the best ways to tell someone that you value their physical and mental wellbeing and know that it's important they prioritize themselves. Self-care gifts make great affordable gift baskets for friends, inexpensive gift ideas for employees, perfect Mother's Day gifts, and gifts for so many other occasions. This Sunshine Bath Set is a great option. It is highly rated on Amazon and offers 12 luxurious items including a bath bomb, fuzzy socks, and scented candle all for under $25.

4) Jewelry Subscription
A subscription program for jewelry! Who knew? Well, now you know and I think it's one of the most unique affordable gifts there is! And it's a great way to gift a luxurious experience without spending a lot of money. It's exactly what it sounds like. You sign up for a subscription and get sent a box of jewelry every month with pieces that have been specially curated to your unique tastes. Mint&Lily has a great subscription plan to choose from where you can get new jewelry every one, two, or three months for just $39 per box. You also get to choose your metal preferences from gold, sliver, and rose gold options on necklaces, earrings, bracelets and more!
You could go the traditional route and just gift one piece of jewelry. Either way, these are beautiful inexpensive gift ideas for her that are sure to please!

5) Fruit & Nut Snack Box
Okay, is your friend, girlfriend, sister, or mom a foodie? What better gift to give than the food they love the most! Food!! A fruit and nut snack box is an affordable gift women (and anyone really) would enjoy. I gifted this OH! Nuts tray to a neighbor one year, and it looked so good I had to get one for myself. I loved the varied assortment of pistachios, cashews, dried kiwis, dates, and peaches and trust me, it tasted just as good as it looked. At under $19, this is the perfect cheap gift ideas for friends, family, and anyone special you may have in mind.
Here are some other affordable snack box options on Amazon:
6) Day Pass to a Hotel

Sometimes you just want to get away from it all, even if it's just for a few hours. A day pass to a hotel might just be the one of the best thoughtful gift ideas for friends there is. You would be giving the gift of a relaxing day away, and it might be exactly what they need! This particular gift might be on the higher end of affordable, but I think it's worth mentioning because of the amenities that come along with it.
On Resortpass.com, I found day pass rates to hotels in my area starting at $50 which included access to the hotel's pools, hot tubs, fitness center, and complimentary wifi. Or if you already have a hotel in mind, give them a call and ask about their day rate, it might be even cheaper than anything available online.
Other sites to look for day pass deals:
7) Personalized T-Shirt
Don't you just love a good t-shirt? Especially the ones with great quotes or art printed on them. If the person you're shopping for has a favorite saying, favorite song lyrics, or line from a movie, they would probably enjoy receiving a personalized t-shirt with that exact quote printed on it! Check out ALRRGPB. They are highly rated on Amazon and for $10.99, you can choose
your t-shirt size and color, and upload whatever you want printed on it such as text, logos, photos, and images. And these tees are 100% cotton, which is a bonus!
Amazon Merch on Demand is another popular t-shirt printer to consider.
8) Scented Shower Steamers Set
I gifted shower steamers to some friends a few years back and it was a huge hit. They said it was like showering at a spa. They are so easy and fun to use. You just put a shower steamer disk underneath a running shower and presto! you're surrounded by luxurious steam scented with lemongrass or lavender or rose petals, whatever your heart desires! Check out these popular shower steamer by Cleverfy, with blissful scents such as peppermint, lavender, and vanilla. These are also great because they are made with natural essential oils and ingredients that are vegan friendly and good to the body.
If your giftee prefers soaking in a tub over a taking a shower, you can't go wrong with these bath balls by Nagaliving. It comes in a set of 10 uniquely scented, wonderfully fizzing bath bombs for under $9. Throw in some bath poufs and you've got a cute affordable gift basket that she will love.
Here are other highly rated shower steamers brands for you to consider:
9) A Professional Massage

I know, I know...you're probably thinking "massages are definitely not a cheap gift idea", but hear me out. Groupon always has some good deals to choose from. On Groupon, I did a quick search for "cheap massage" near me and found some fantastic options for 25%, 44%, and even up to 80% off normal prices. And these included massage sessions that are up to an hour long. You can even search by the type of massage you want to gift, like deep tissue, hot stone, reflexology, decompression stretches and so much more.
10) Organic/Clean Beauty Set
Is she really into beauty and make-up? Add to her collection with a clean make-up set like this one by Physicians Formula. It not only features beautiful shimmering neutral hues for all skin types, but it is also hypoallergenic and cruelty free. It features an eye shadow pallet, eyeliners in two shades, and two mascaras all for under $20, and would make a great simple birthday gift for a female friend and any other lady on your shopping list!

11) Tickets to a Local Show
Who doesn't love sitting back, relaxing, and being entertained? Gifting tickets to a local show can be just the perfect unique and inexpensive gift idea you've been looking for. And if you're gifting in the warmer months, there are often a host of local low cost or no cost shows to choose from, including community center plays, outdoor concerts, and art exhibits. A quick google search will help you find the best things to do in your area that fit within your budget.
12) Bonus!

Try thinking about something she needs or has been wanting lately. Is there something she's been asking for that you could easily get her as a gift? Or is there something you know she needs that she might not have thought of yet?
A friend of mine moved into her own apartment a few years ago, and the first few times I visited her, I noticed that she didn't have a door mat at her front door. So I got her one and she absolutely loved it! She said it was something she hadn't thought about, but definitely needed. This was a small gift, but often times it's the thoughtful, simple gift ideas that are the most appreciated.
Happy Gifting!

Before you go, can I ask you a question? Do you know where you’re going when you leave this life? What if I told you that you could know for sure? The first thing you have to know is that no one is perfect, and no one can ever be good enough to get to heaven on their own. The bible calls our imperfections sin. The second thing is that there is a penalty for our sin which is death. That’s why no one lives in this life forever. Click here to find out more about your free gift of heaven.
