Girly Birthday Gift Ideas for $5 & Under!

Get ready to be inspired today!  I think you’ll enjoy this one.

There are so  many great ideas out on the internet and all over Pinterest and today I’m joining over 100 other bloggers who are sharing ideas for cute and practical gift ideas for $5 and under.  I think you’re going to enjoy this blog hop and you’ll get some great ideas to file away for future gift ideas for those female friends and relatives who you want to remember with a little birthday gift. It’s so nice to remember and be remembered on your birthday, but it’s not always practical to spend a lot of money.  These ideas will get your creativity going and I’m sure you’ll want to save a few of them along the way, so get ready to click and pin some ideas!

My gift idea is really a simple one and it’s one I’ve received before from a friend.  There’s nothing better in the summer than getting a fresh pedicure going on the toes and getting them ready for summer.  What a fun little gift to receive, a pretty bottle of nail polish. nail polish gift idea

Easy and practical, bottles of nail polish can be found in so many price points.  The OPI is a bit more than $5, but not too much and that Essie bottle was actually $4.99 at TJ Maxx. coral and blue nail polish

These 2 colors happen to be my faves for toes: OPI’s classic Cajun Shrimp, which I’ve been wearing for years and Essie, Maximillian Strasse-her (which is one of the strangest names I’ve seen!).  Both are pretty on the toes and brighten up any summer outfit. I just feel so good with a fresh pedicure, don’t you?  Show off those toes in summer flip-flops and sandals with a vibrant color, that’s what I enjoy!  And most women I know love nail polish too, so it’s a fun little gift to share with friends.

So, get ready to click over to 101+ birthday gift ideas from some fabulous bloggers and get your creativity racing! Here’s the printable that my friend, Brittany, helped me out with.  It really pays to have younger blog friends who don’t mind rescuing you when a “printable” is needed.  I had no idea how to do a printable, so Brittany saved me. Thanks, Brittany!  Brittany is not only a talented DIYer, but a graphics girl too.

The creative brain who thought up this blog hop is Kristen Duke, photographer at Capturing Joy and what a great idea it is.
