Unless you're Leslie Knope, buying gifts is impossible.
While many Americans will flock to the stores this Black Friday, you can sit back at home and shop affordably from your couch. We've selected six LA companies that can provide inexpensive, great gifts for the most obscure members of the family. As for mom and dad, you're on your own....
For the crafty aunt: MakersKit
Every year she sends you an obscure gift card or an impossibly large sweater, but that doesn't mean she's not worthy of a great gift. Send her a DIY project that won't break the bank. With more than 20 rotating kits on the site, MakersKit can be a solution for years to come.
For the college grad still adjusting to the real world: Parachute
It's tough for them to hear, but using the same bed sheets that got them through four years of college is not ok. Parachute offers a wide range of Italian-made sheets, duvets, and pillowcases for a low price. Becoming an adult means having a thread-count you can be proud of. The next step is convincing them to wash their sheets more than once a semester.
For the less-than-stylish brother: Five Four Club
Imposing your style onto other family members is a holiday tradition as old as time. With Five Four Club, you can make sure your stylistic input remains long after December. For $60 dollars a month the user receives a curated box of men's clothes that match their style preferences. Whether you're looking for a casual or classic look, Five Four Club has you covered.
For the green-living cousin: Thrive Market
There is always one cousin who makes holiday dinners difficult with their impossible list of dietary restrictions. Whether they're gluten or GMO-free, vegan or paleo, Thrive Market can deliver fresh groceries to meet any preference.
For the undeserving younger sibling: MeUndies
Another holiday gift tradition is the inevitable disappointment of someone receiving underwear and/or socks. While this younger sibling probably deserves it, you can spruce up this classic gift with MeUndies. The site offers a wide variety of classic and stylistic options as well as a wide range of sweatpants perfect for a cold winter morning.
For the trendy one in the family: ShoeDazzle
Buying clothes, jewelry or shoes for a stylish woman during the holidays is usually a recipe for disaster. Whether you accidentally buy something two sizes too big or commit the inexcusable sin of picking a style that is no longer in (I'm looking at you houndstooth), there is usually no good outcome. But with ShoeDazzle, you can select from a wide variety of shoes and clothes that are sure to impress. And with their Black Friday deals, you won't break the bank.
