Shopping around the holidays can be tough. Often you have that one person in your life that you want to get something special but you just have no idea what to get them. You know you want it to be cool and unique but you are still on a budget and its holding you back from finding the perfect gift. If that’s the case, this holiday gift guide might do the trick! Check out some our coolest gift finds from the year and maybe that special gift is waiting for you to find it!

Polaroid Snap Instant Digital Camera

Bringing back the classic Polaroid camera in an Instagram way, the Snap is an almost perfect gift. It snaps pictures and prints pocket sized photos instantly in surprisingly good quality. I love this little guy! Not to mention it totally invokes the Instagram look and way of life. (And it comes in several colors <3) The camera is under $100 and the film comes in different types and looks with the ability to shoot 50 photos at a time!

Crosley Portable Turntable/Record Player

I have one of these in my kitchen and occasionally take it up to my home office when I am writing. I absolutely LOVE it. The sound is incredible considering it isn’t a full size record player and it insanely cute. (You can also play your iPhone or whatever through the Aux port if you need!) I just can’t enough of this portable record player that now my record collection is about 100 deep and I keep buying more. Definitely one of my best buys of the year. Priced at about $69.99, the Crosley portable record player comes in a variety of beautiful colors and prints and is available at most major retailers.

Himalayan Crystal Salt Lamp

I have this set up in my bedroom and its one of the most calming aspects of my whole house. The himalayan salt lamp might seem like a weird gift to give but its one of those things you don’t know you love until you get it. Someone gave me this lamp a few years ago as a gift and I have loved it deeply. I highly recommend it to people. I can’t vouch if it does the health benefits it touts but I can say that it relaxes me in whichever room I stick it in. Right now the large ones go for about $29.99 but they also have smaller versions and even desktop ones!

Design Your Own Xbox Controller

I TOTALLY did this for my boyfriend for his birthday this year and IT WAS THE BEST. It was so incredibly easy and he loves having a controller that is unique to him AND I had it engraved with his gamertag so when he has friends over they can’t “accidentally” use his controller for any reason! The Xbox Design Lab could have a few options (some parts only offew a few customization while others offer tons) but it is still a great way to give gamers something that uniquely theirs for a fraction of the price. A new controller is already $59.99 but a customized one will run you $79.99 so why not?!

Classic NES System

IF you can get your hands on one of these, it will be the PREMIERE gift, I believe. At only $59.99, this literally hand-held gaming system holds 30 classic and iconic games. It is the perfect gift for current and past gamers alike. It also has the potential to unite families during the holidays as they bond over games like Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Super Mario Bros. Now, if only you can get a hold of it as it seems every time a store gets a restock, it sells out just as quickly. Good luck out there.

Death Star Bluetooth Speaker

Have a fan of Star Wars in your life? This Bluetooth speaker might be the perfect gift for them! The speaker mimics the look of the Death Star while sitting on an acrylic stand while wirelessly streaming music up to 30 feet away. It also plays audio from devices equipped with 3.5mm headphone jack (cable included. Best part is that it lights up while playing music!
