All of a sudden I’ve realised that Christmas is just around the corner. Eeek! So, on Sunday I went to Target to start my Christmas shopping. From cute little stocking fillers to unique pressies, I found  a stack of gift ideas. And the best bit? They’re all under $30.

Gifts Under $10

Target has a great range of stocking fillers for the littlies – after all, when you’re a kid it’s all about the volume of presents you get to open, isn’t it?! This Hello Kitty Harmonica was only $3, while the Jake and the Neverland Pirates wooden puzzle set (comes with four, 24 piece puzzles) was only $8.

Gifts Under $20

It’s not that I’m a cheapskate, but I love both of these gifts because they look like they’re worth so much more than I actually spent! This vintage inspired glass vase set was just $12, while the men’s MAXX shorts were $19.

Gifts Under $30

When buying for your girlfriends, it’s hard to go past cosmetics or something for their home. This NP Set Mini Lip Gloss collection ($25) fits the bill perfectly. Or you can mix and match some of Target’s fantastic ceramics to create a personalised gift that is beautiful…and functional. I love this textured range of serving platters and bowls in shades of blue. The large platter was $10.50, the medium plate was $5.60 and the bowl was $4.20.

Of course, if you want to splurge and spend over $30, Target also has some great present options. Like their big range of tablets or the Bellini coffee machine which still comes in under 100 clams.
