by StyleBlueprint Editors

December 5, 2018 by StyleBlueprint Editors

As we continue through the most wonderful time of year, we look to give presents of love and cheer to those who mean the most to us. Giving gifts doesn’t have to be stressful or drain your bank account. We’ve put together a list of 50 gifts, each for less than $50, from our favorite stores found right here in Nashville. Use this list as your go-to holiday gift guide when shopping for loved ones this season (or find a few things for Santa to bring you!). Happy shopping!
