Before we start this you should know that I’m completely obsessed with Christmas – I love giving gifts, how happy people are & all the fairy lights, it just makes me so happy! You may not be on the same level of excitement but you’ll probably still need to buy gifts for friends and family. That’s where I come in – I’ve put together a few gift guides which help you to shop when you’re on a budget.
You may not know this but on the Zando site there’s a price tab on the left hand side and you can adjust the toggle and you’ll only see items that are within your budget. I find this super helpful because my husband & I set a budget per person and in previous years I’ve been known to over-spend. We’re buying all our gifts on Zando this year so that won’t be happening!
I’ve got four gift guides for you guys – two are for items under R500 and the other two are stocking fillers under R250. First up is a gift guide under R500 for the ladies. I’ve added loads of fitness related items because let’s be honest ,come January first everyone is in the gym. There are also some really cool beauty items and if you know the person well enough, some fashion pieces.

I honestly feel like buying gifts for men is the hardest thing. Am I alone in this or do you all struggle? I’ve added a few generic things like socks & underwear but let’s be honest men always need them. Again on the gym front, I think this is a very useful gift to give around the festive season because we always seem to overeat. A watch is both a thoughtful & practical gift and if he loves sneakers then a shoe cleaning kit is a super cool gift.

Now onto some affordable options under R250. These will make for some great stocking fillers or Secret Santa gifts.

There’s tons of beauty and pamper items for the ladies because often it’s nice to receive items that you wouldn’t necessarily buy for yourself but they’re nice to have. And obviously some cute socks, summer sunglasses & jewelry.

I was genuinely surprised at how many awesome items you can find for under R250. We all need a pair of summer sandals, perhaps a new hat or skincare items. Happy socks are a great gift because you can’t help but be happy when you look at them.
