Okio B Designs

I broke out some white paint and my label maker to create these super cute (and easy!) Jenga block ornaments. Another DIY in under 5!

Before I focused on home crafts exclusively, I used to make jewelry. I know firsthand the work that goes into designing and crafting individual pieces. And that's why I'm featuring Creative Jewelry By Marcia* for today's Under $25 Gift Guide post.

Marcia creates high quality, designer jewelry - including earrings, bracelets and necklaces - to fit every budget. If mass-produced pieces aren't your thing, Marcia's timeless pieces are sure to become a favorite!

I just love these Silver Long Leaf Earrings. They are striking, yet simple. Perfect for wearing for date night or to an office meeting. And for $24, they make for the ideal gift for your bestie, mom or sister.

Or how about these Oval Pewter Silver Earrings? Again, only $24! I also love how each pair is designed for sensitive ears.

These Copper Oval Leaf Earrings just may be a gift to myself!

You'll be happy to know (like I was!) that as of 2018, Marcia donates 5% from every jewelry sale to New Horizons, a shelter for survivors of domestic violence. Check out her full line by visiting CreativeJewelrybyMarcia.com.

I'm back after a few days of being down for the count with a nasty cold. Yes, a cold. Remember them? 😆 Anywho, let's get back to business with today's Under $25 Holiday Gifts post.

I'm sharing two of my favorite perfumes from one of my favorite online retailers: FragranceNet.com*. First up is Pink Sugar by Aquolina. This has been my go-to scent for a few years now. The notes of Cotton Candy, Sandalwood, Strawberry and Vanilla provide a soft, sweet aroma that doesn't overpower the senses. It's available in several sizes and with FragranceNet.com's instant coupons, a 3.4 ounce Eau de Toilette spray is only $21.74!

Next up is Simply Belle by Exceptional Parfums. This one is a little more expensive, but trust me when I say it's worth every penny. Fresh, clean notes of Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Vanilla and warm Musk, make this the perfect everday scent for teens, moms, sisters and you! It retails for $54, but you'll save 25 percent and enjoy free shipping when you join their mailing list. Score!

Believe it or not, but these are just two of the thousands of perfumes, colognes, and other bath and body products FragranceNet.com has to offer. Check them out; I know you'll be pleasantly surprised!

When 2020 throws you lemons, you make lemonade and break out the Christmas cheer! Well, at least that's what I've been doing - minus the lemonade. 😏

Mr. Okio B hasn't complained one bit. Probably because he knows it makes me less anxious in these uncertain times. And my boys are completely onboard.

I didn't want to buy a lot of new Xmas pieces this year. However, when I saw all the cuteness at Target's Dollarspot and at Walmart, I made a few exceptions.

A lot of what you see is from either store (this year and last year). Everything was super affordable - $10 or less.

And speaking of affordable, I hope you've been enjoying my Under $25 Holiday Gift Guide posts. Who knew there was so much budget-friendly goodness out there?! Stay tuned because there is lots more to come!

Back to the Christmas decorating: we haven't put our main tree up yet. Mainly because of the cats, and, well the cats. For now I'm satisfied enjoying our flocked tree from Walmart ($35 last year!).
