Our first instalment is covering stocking stuffers and gift ideas that are under a $100. Great for office mates, secret Santa, extended families and Hanukkah gifts. So here we go.....
1. Socks
I don't know about you, but I say YES, PLEASE, to the gift of warm wool socks. Socks in general are the one of those items that you want and need, but really don't want to buy, which is why they make the BEST gifts. We have lots of socks to from Goodhew, FITS Socks, Sockwell & Injinji.
PRICE: $9-$26

What better gift than giving the gift of healthy feet. Know someone who is suffering from foot pain caused by a bunion, hammertoes or plantar fasciosis? Well a pair of Correct Toes could be their ticket to pain free feet! Designed to help reshape your feet without surgery this is another item that goes in that category of I want, but I would love someone else to buy it for me! To learn more about Correct Toes click HERE.
PRICE: $65 (for a pair)
sizes: S, S/M, & M/L

3. Shoe Care Items
Okay, I promise this will be my last gift guide item that falls into that "I want it, but don't want to buy it", therefore it makes the perfect gift. We all have a pair of shoes we love and don't want to see destroyed by the Portland rain (though with our current forecast you wouldn't know this to be an issue at all), the best solution is waterproofing products by Grangers. Grangers is a eco-friendly water based waterproofer. It's not toxic smelling and it doesn't change the color of your shoes! Also another good stocking stuffer are a pair of Earthbound Insoles. If you have someone in your life complaining about how uncomfortable their favorite shoes are, adding an Earthbound insole by Spenco could make them all day wearable.
PRICE: Grangers $10-18, Earthbound Insoles $44
4. A Tiny Purse/Clutch
This one is for the ladies on your list. Sometimes you want to go out on the town or to the grocery store and want to ditch the big purse. For those times every women needs a tiny purse or clutch just big enough for the essentials. This also makes a great gift for the traveler in your life. We have tiny purses & wallets by Haiku (vegan/waterproof), Clutches by Ssseko & Crystalyn Kae (vegan/waterproof).
Prices: Haiku $49, Sseko (handmade in Uganda) $75 & Crystalyn Kae $90

5. TOMS
Every women and girl has TOMS on her list. They are easy to wear, great for lounging around the house and perfect for spring/summer time. Plus for every pair purchased TOMS gives a pair to a child in need. Feel good gifts are the best! Now you just have to decide whether to get a vegan pair, or bright green or go safe with black.....
PRICE: Vegan TOMS: $56, Classic TOMS: $49-$60
6. Sseko Sandals
Another gift idea for the lady on your list. Sseko Sandals are handmade in Uganda by women earning money to further their eduction. You purchase the sandal base and then pick your strap and wrap them up to your liking. Sseko has lots of videos on YouTube to show you all the different ways you can lace them up. A great gift for someone with unique style.
PRICE: Sandal Base: $45, Straps: $15, Accessories (leather circle detail shown): $24

7. Sneakers
I don't know about you, but a good pair of weekend sneakers are always on my list. We have some great sneaker options for both men and women that would be a a great hit this holiday season. Not sure what size someone wears, a great way to figure it out is check out the sizes of a few of their favorite shoes. Since all shoes run different if you check 2 to 3 pairs we can get a better idea of what might be a good fit. For sneakers under $100, we recommend Palladium, Unstitched Utilities & Teva.
PRICES: Palladium $55, Unstitched Utilities $55-$70, Teva $70-75
