Fun, original and on a budget: 7 gift ideas for 7 different friends
Christmas is approaching, but it’s not too late for those “last minute gifts”. If you’ve already thought about family, it’s time to think about those friends who are obsessed with beauty, music, TV or whatever makes your “Santa mission” harder than usual.
You’ll make these people happy with something quite popular, but with the right amount of style and sophistication. Here are 7 gift ideas (and they’re all under $30!) to inspire your shopping.

FOR THE TAYLOR SWIFT HATER
It’s never to late to change your friend’s mind about Taylor, especially if he/she likes rock music.
