@_livmadelineWhatever you've done to convince yourself that you deserve a little treat, just know that I support you. A good day at work, a bad day at work, a reward for getting something done, a bribe to create a good habit… I see you. I respect that.
I like to approach impulsive little treats the same way I approach white elephant gifting: A bit of forethought means affordable doesn't border on frivolous or wasteful. There are loads of worthwhile shopping picks that are an absolute steal—if you fancy a handy shopping list, feel free to borrow mine. From cool fashion items to stylish homewares and very worthwhile beauty buys to get you through winter, all these happy little treats are $40 or under.
For Your Wardrobe
The metallic trend is very worth dabbling in.
An excellent knit dress that punches above its price tag. Love that it also comes in black, and in sizes XS to 4XL.
Burgundy bags are my current love, although this also comes in black and cream.
For Your Home
As a stylish glass for your desk, or a vase, or a makeup brush holder. Take your pick.
A chic answer to where to pop your keys and Airpods when you walk in the door.
If a chic, monochromatic bathroom is what makes you happy.
Here for candles that smell like my favorite fragrances.
This clever design lets the pink glass top sit either inside or over the base—depending which way you flip it—to hold a wider bouquet of flowers or a single stem.
For Your Beauty Cabinet
Chanel's luxe nail polish comes in 26 feel-good shades, from happy pops of color to classic neutrals.
If you'd like to be one of those people with eucalyptus branches in your shower, but know your limitations.
The delicious, citrusy scent of a Joanna Vargas facial for a fraction of the price.
An ultra-hydrating body treatment guaranteed to cheer up winter skin.
The intensively hydrating mask my hairdresser recommended comes in a handy little travel size.
