Ever been in that awkward situation where someone buys you a present, but you have nothing to give in return? If you even have an inkling that your internship coordinator, professor, or suite mate might channeling the giving spirit this season, you can save face (and stop the holiday insanity) by stocking up on a few of these cool eco-friendly travel mugs from Aladdin.

They only cost $13.00, but the big plus here is the website actually boasts a ton of funky design templates you can download for free, print up, and then insert inside your cup.  Bonus: You can even download your own personal images of friends and family members, too. Fill it with candy, coffee beans, or an assortment of tea bags, and you suddenly have the perfect hostess or Secret Santa surprise!

A thoughtful gift doesn’t have to cost a fortune…it just needs to LOOK like you spent the time and energy (ok, and maybe moolah) to make sure it’s the perfect fit for your special someone.
