12 Expensive-Looking Gifts You Won't Believe Are Under $40.00

Meddy Teddy in LotusThanks Huffington Post for including me in your great gifts for under $40.00 list!  There are a couple of gifts on the list I would love to have....the Travel Neck Pillow, great for traveling; the cast iron frying pan, a must for cooking salmon; and the Inspiralizer, I really want to try making my veggies into a spiral.  Oh, and I love the copper party cup and the teakwood bottle. Plus the slate cheese board is amazing and everyone needs a monogrammed clutch, right? Who wouldn't want the smiley face pancake pan? And the celestial coasters, wow! Well, I might as well get the black truffle oil, it would be yummy on salmon.
Love, 
Meddy

Exchanging gifts over the holidays is fun, but it can become mighty expensive rather quickly. Enter a budget, which truly must be stuck to.

It doesn’t matter if you’re giving a gift to a child, friend, sibling, aunt, parent or co-worker, there are outstanding gifts in the $30-$40 range; some of them even look quite expensive.

The best part is that not only will you be able to rest this holiday season without having panic attacks about your credit card bill, but you can be proud of each of these gifts. Nothing spells l-a-z-y like a gift card, and we’ll show you why a budget doesn’t have to hold you back.
