7 Gifts Under $10

The words most used in 2019 by college students were, no surprise, “I'm really broke.''

Although it has been said many times, and in many ways, you don’t really understand such a phrase until you experience it for yourself. Coffee costs money, mail costs money, everything costs money!

Ugh, capitalism.

Things can get especially tight around the holidays: Gift-giving is a wonderful way to express love to your friends and family, but it’s also a wonderful way to empty your bank account. Not to fear! We have 7 gifts under $10 to fulfill your Secret-Santa gift requests galore! These gifts are absolutely unique, totally in style and they never break the bank.
