THE CHEAP LIST
Creative Cake Design — Pay $1.49 For Cake Decorating Classes for a Year ($59 value)
This one is for pastry lovers! Do you have a friend that never stops talking about pastries and cakes? Maybe they are a fan of baking, but never got the chance to learn how to bake and decorate an exquisite cake for someone. Tell them to stop searching for scattered answers on Youtube and Google, and get them industry-grade, step-by-step instructions from a certified pastry chef on Creative Cake Design.
Creative Cake Design is a platform dedicated to helping anyone interested in how to decorate cakes a tier above. Regularly, the cake lover’s website has an annual price of $59, but once you redeem the offer in the Miles app, you can give the gift of sweets for a mere price of $1.49! This will open the door to unlimited access to hundreds of techniques, tips, and classes.
We’re pretty sure that if you get them a whole year’s worth of cake-baking classes, you’ll be the first to taste their finest creation. Win-win!
Succulent Studios — 2 Cute Succulent Plants for $8 + Free Shipping
The toughest part about giving someone a gift is knowing where to start, especially if you don’t know them too well. Luckily, plants are always a safe choice that can easily feel just as thoughtful.
Grab your phone and open the Miles app to search for “Succulent” and you should come across Succulent Studios, a second-generation farm based out of Fallbrook, California dedicated to growing beautiful succulent and cactus plants.
This reward will give you 20% off sitewide plus free shipping, saving you more than half of what you would normally pay for two of their plants. In other words, instead of paying $16.50, pay only $8 for the perfect White Elephant gift!
Viori — For $36, Buy 2 Shampoo Bars, Get 2 More ($75 value)
This next gift idea is truly inspiring.
Viori is a socially-conscious beauty company that makes exquisite rice shampoo bars with a mission to support the Red Yao peoples of the Longsheng mountains. Originally hailing from China and Vietnam, they have existed for over 2,000 years and have developed “powerful hair-care rituals, centered upon the cultivation of Longsheng Rice, that has prevented their hair from greying for centuries.”
As a result, Viori works directly with the Red Yao tribe to source the best Longsheng rice to create their natural shampoo and conditioner bars. Unfortunately, the tribe is in danger of becoming extinct, but Viori has made it its mission to donate 5% of its profits to help bolster its communities.
Whether you love these bars for their intricate designs, incredible hair-care results, or for the chance of being part of the sustenance of a centuries-old tribe, Viori makes for a delightful gift.
When you redeem Viori in the Miles app, you will get four bars for only $36! Normally, these go for $18 each, saving you roughly 50% of the price.
This one is a limited-time offer, so don’t miss out on a chance to get a high-quality gift for a super price!
Easy Canvas — Pay Only $16 for a 16x20 Canvas ($158 value)
If you’re searching for a timeless gift, a photo canvas may be the way to go. It can easily be a way to decorate a room or an office and bring back wonderful memories in the meantime.
The downside of a digitally printed canvas is its price; it’s usually not cheap. However, with the Easy Canvas offer in the Miles app, you can get a decent-sized one for only $16 and avoid paying the original $158!
Once you choose the perfect picture, go into the app and search for “Easy Canvas” and redeem it.
Easy Canvas has an interface that is easy to use and, after your order is processed, their professionals will manually stretch it out on a frame. Even better, if you can’t wait to get it and wrap it, you can deliver the thoughtful gift straight to your special someone’s door.
Tranya — 50% Off TranyaGo Smartwatch + Free F4 earbuds ($45 value)
In our day and age, technology reigns as king. There are few people who don’t love getting the latest gear!
If the person you want to give something to fits this description, this gift would be perfect for them. Tranya gives tech lovers the best Bluetooth smartwatches and earbuds on the market without breaking the bank.
Specifically for this offer, you can get your dad, brother, girlfriend, or whomever you want a TranyaGo Smartwatch for 50% off. In dollar speak, that’s $45 and they’ll throw in a pair of free F4 earbuds!
As always, find this discount in the Miles app and make sure to complete the purchase from within the app.
