1. Novelty Gifts for Shoe Lovers

Looking for a cute gift for shoes lovers that will tickle their fancy, but not break the bank? A shoe-themed or shaped novelty gift is what you need.

And there is no shortage of them! From keychains to phone cases, kitchen tools, shoe-themed electronics and random knick-knacks, there are so many choices.

These great items give a giftee an adorable and subtle way to display their shoe-loving side without having to shout it out!

So if you're looking for an awesome surprise for your shoe enthusiast BFF but don't want to break the bank, read on for some of my favorite gifts for shoe lovers!

Shoe Keychains:

One of the easiest gifts to give a shoe lover is a shoe-shaped keychain. I mean, most of us need keys, whether for our front door, office or PO box. So this is a no-fail and very cute present!

Funny story: making shoe-themed t-shirts is actually what started this blog: ShoeTease. Get it, shoetees?

For any high heel aficionado, no matter how much they might love to wear their towering heels, pain is likely.

Especially after a long day at the office or conference, or dancing the night away at a wedding, every high heel love will have their limits.

So why not gift them with an easy way out? Foldable flats are not only light and versatile, but they are also portable and very cute shoes to slip into when your feet say enough!

Purchase all kinds of foldable flats in various colors and styles from Flat Out.

4. Shoe Design Courses

Does your shoe lover love shoes so much that they want to make their own? A shoe design course is a fantastic and thoughtful gift for those who want to create shoes.

Whether they want to learn how to make shoes for themselves or to start their own shoe brand/business, there are many digital courses at various price-points and levels to choose from!
