’Tis the season for gift giving. ’Tis also the season for emptying your bank account on odds and ends for everyone under the sun. Gift-giving is a joy until the bill comes. If your kid’s second-grade teacher, your mother-in-law, your dog sitter, cousin, grandpa, best friend and more are all on your list, then consider consulting this list of some of Anthropologie’s more affordable finds.
Breaking the bank doesn’t need to go hand-in-hand with a thoughtful gift. Anthropologie (a known gift-giving hot spot) has some great options all under $30. Fluff up an affordable find with a little extra something — a candle to go with those candle sticks, a box of tea tucked inside the tea towels, a sketchbook for the pencil set — and you’ve got a truly great gift on your hands.

Voluspa limited edition Japonica candle
Candles are a go-to gift for a reason. They’re thoughtful, they spread a little cheer, they smell great, and more often than not, they’re the type of thing you don’t often think to buy for yourself. Voluspa candles boast a 40 hour burn time and are made of clean burning coconut wax and each come in a unique art-deco floral tin. When the candle’s spent, clean out the tin and repurpose it for stashing small items or even as a planter for a new plant friend.

They're a sure fire way to please the Francophile, Big Apple aficionado or Londoner in your life.
