Clothes

Personally, I love clothes. You’d be surprised that some guys do, too (hi Summer). Clothes can be expensive, but you’d be surprised to find that not everything is. From places like H&M to Forever 21, you can get some nice pieces of clothing for cheap. If you feel like spending a little more, you can go to places like PacSun or Nordstrom.

Perfume

This is a great gift, especially if the person smells bad. You also have a say in what they’re going to smell like which is great. Some fragrances can be expensive like CHANEL and Giorgio Armani. If you want to opt for the cheaper option, you can go to places like Victoria’s Secret or Macy’s and get a body spray.

Vacation

I know, not everyone can do this, but vacations are so nice as gifts. You can take a little day/weekend trip to Seven Springs or Erie, or even go to New York for the week. It can be pricey, depending on what you do, but that’s the price you pay for a lot of fun memories!

Gift Cards
If you have no idea what the person wants, you could honestly just give them some cash. If you have a better idea of what they want, you can just get them a gift card to somewhere. Sometimes cash is the best gift. (hint- please don’t give your boyfriend/girlfriend cash)

Homemade Stuff

If you’re really that broke, you can always make something with the stuff around your house, or you can go out to a craft store like Michael’s. You can even just make a homemade card if you’re that cheap. Even if you’re that lazy (@ Tup), it’s not that hard, but it makes it look like you tried.

Phones

First things first, don’t get someone a phone who isn’t that close to you. You don’t want someone to potentially be on your phone plan that you end up not liking. That would be weird. But the new iPhone 7 is ONLY $650 (cheap right?). If you really like the person and have that much money, a phone would be a great gift.

Watches

This gift is great for people that are late for everything and always ask what time it is. (someone get Madison Nicolazzo this pls) Depending on the watch you want to get, they can be really expensive. You can get a Daniel Wellington Watch for only $80 to an Apple Watch that’s $270. At some places like Things Remembered, you can get a watch and get it engraved. The prices vary on the watch you want to get engraved.

Cameras

If you’re getting someone a gift that tries to be ~aRtSy~ then they’ll really like this one. Some cameras can be A LOT of money, but not all of them. You can get the Canon t5i for only $600. That seems like a lot, but it’s a pretty good price for a semi nice camera. Canon, Nikon, and Pentax cameras are the best camera brands out there right now, so if you get any cameras with those brands, you’re good.

Concert 

This could be a great gift idea. You can go get tickets for the person’s favorite artist, or take them to see a festival with a ton of different artists. If you want to save some more money, you can take them to see bands and singers at local restaurants. Either way, you could have a lot of fun. (@ Lauren)

Makeup

Most girls, and even some guys, love makeup. You would be surprised to see how expensive some makeup stuff is, but it’s not all like that. Places like Target and Ulta carry some less expensive brands that work just as well as name brands. Or you can stop in those stores and get makeup from the pricier brands like Estee Lauder or Marc Jacobs.
