Having cousins is fantastic: you can become really great friends with them, especially if they are your age. If you establish a strong link with them, it’s for life. You and your cousins are related to each other, and such bonds are hard to break.

You cannot really do that with your other relatives. Aunts and uncles are usually significantly older than you, and they will have a tough time relating to you, and spending time with your nephews and nieces is plain boring. Sadly, you can’t escape the generational gap.

So, you have to treasure your cousins for being the coolest relatives ever. You can show how much you appreciate them with great gifts! Whether you already have some ideas about what to get them or you are feeling stuck, here is a list of fresh and budget present ideas for your cousins.

Practical Gifts

 If your cousin is constantly nagging about not having enough things or her everyday life being extremely inconvenient, gift cards might be the perfect answer or here are a couple of gifts that will make her life easier and more efficient. She probably did not even know that she needed these things!

Heritage Polka Dot Computer Backpack for the City

Today’s youth is hard to keep up with. They have completely adapted to the fast-paced modern world; partially, they even embody it. It seems like the motto of young people of today is “Be everywhere, do everything.”

You can empower your cousin with a backpack that is ideal for city life. First of all, it is absolutely stylish with the matte black overall texture and shiny polka dots: your cousin will look fabulous in it.

This cute bag is specifically designed for fitting a laptop inside plus additional baggage. Your cousin will be able to place everything she needs for any occasion in the bag. Whether it’s a simple sleepover, a night out with other friends and you, or a music festival, your cousin will always be ready for it.

Best of Kiehl's Set

If your cousin loves her makeup, then this present will be just right. This skincare set will be especially great if you have ever overheard your cousin talking about not having enough skin cleansing products.

With this skincare set, your cousin will get a full routine. This includes Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash, Ultra Facial Cream, eye-reviving Creamy Eye Treatment, facial oil Midnight Recovery Concentrate, and the amazing skin-cleansing Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask.

Your cousin will definitely be happy to receive such a gift. According to the BBC, everyone is interested in establishing the right skincare routine.

Kool8 Water Bottle

Does your cousin not have any water bottles? This has to be changed immediately. Water bottles are incredibly trendy right now, and your cousin will be eternally grateful to you (that is until it is time to receive the next gift).

Besides the obvious feature of this water bottle — i.e., keeping people hydrated no matter the time and place — Kool8 water bottle has a couple of aces up its sleeve. Firstly, it is just gorgeous; a lot of companies manufacture great water bottles but dismiss the importance of the bottle design, which is a mistake.

Secondly, it is exceptionally sturdy, so it will survive any adventure that your cousin will get into. Thirdly, it has full insulation, hence the ability to maintain the temperature of drinks (both hot and cold) for hours on end.

Lastly, this water bottle will allow your cousin to lead an eco-friendlier life, which is definitely on her “to do” list. According to Waterbottle.io, they put a lot of effort into creating a product that will connect with the young people of today.

Customized Extra Protective Phone Case

Everyone lives on their smartphones these days. But smartphones tend to be fragile and easily get damaged when they’re bumped into surfaces or accidentally dropped. A customized extra protective phone case will make both a practical and meaningful gift. 

‘Just Because’ Gifts

If your cousin is more of an easy-going and slow-living type of person, then we have that covered too! For such people, practical does not mean thoughtful. Instead, it means distant and cold. They want to be surprised; they want something that simply says, “I like you, and here’s a thing to treat you just because.”

Picture Perfect Selfie Set + Light Ring Stand for Smartphones

This set will skyrocket the social media game of your cousin. Your cousin will become the next selfie queen with the picture perfect selfie set. This set will alleviate her of the biggest problem when it comes to selfies – lighting.

As noted at CoolThingsChicago, with this deceitfully small and surprisingly useful gadget, your cousin will always get the best light for her selfies. At first glance, this set may not seem like it can do much, but in reality, the difference is big. You will see for yourself just how important proper lighting is by checking the IG feed of your cousin.

DIY Mochi Ice Cream Set

If your cousin is a real sweet tooth, then surprise her with this mochi ice cream making set! According to the New York Times, mochi ice cream is an incredibly tasty Japanese confection. It is a soft, sticky rice dumpling formed around an ice cream filling.

The flavored ice cream, in combination with the dumpling, creates an unusually good-tasting mix. It is sweet and chewy on the outside, cold and creamy on the inside, and, what is most important, it is absolutely adorable.

The kit has everything you need to create the Japanese take on this Western confection. The process of making mochi ice cream is fairly easy. Only with a couple of steps, your cousin will be able to enjoy this fascinating delicacy.

Have Presents Left to Pick?

Got the gifts sorted for your cousins? Hopefully, you already figured out a gift for your special lady friend. If not, that is completely understandable: the closer any person is to you, the harder it is to pick something of value.

Good thing that there are ubiquitous gifts, which perfectly suit all women, be it your daughter, wife, girlfriend, female friend, or even your mom. Such presents are a sure deal if you want to make any of the mentioned women's eyes sparkle with joy.
