I love accessories. ย Iโm also an expert gift giver (and modest). Honestly, there are times when weโre on a budget right? ย I love gift cards but what happens when youโve alotted $10 or $25 on gifts? ย Are we limited to gift cards? ย No! ย Just a bit of creativity goes a long way.
With the holidays approaching, itโs important for us to think about gifts for others and gifts for ourselves too! ย At these prices, thereโs a lot that can be done. ย Small gifts, stocking stuffers, Secret Santa โ they can all apply!
I also, need to give a disclaimer โ an accessory can be anything. ย Anything that accentuates how you feel or look in addition to the clothing youโre wearing. ย It could even mean technology at times. However have you seen something amazing and had to stop and ask someone about it? ย The holders and cases for our technology to the tech itself.
TCF Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts on a Budget
(Glam Out Bib Necklace $18.80;ย ย Glam Faceted Stone Necklace $8.80ย ;ย ย Foil Print Fingerless Gloves (I lost it when I saw these) $24.00;ย ย Rectangle Hoop Earrings $18.00ย ;ย Tocca Crema Mani Viaggio Trio $20.00ย ;ย Too Faced Beauty Blogger Darlings $20.00ย ;ย Sephora Collection 12 Hr Wear Waterproof Contour Eye Pencil Set $24.00;ย ย Bare Minerals Mini-Face Brush Kit)
A Few Tips:ย
- The key to good deals is starting early. ย Especially if you can order online.
- While this next piece of advice is pretty obvious, when youโre on a budget, filtering all gifts to under $25 can net you some amazing finds. ย Most sites including Nordstrom and Anthropologie allows you to do this!
- Not to mention, this is one of my favorite seasons for gift sets of brushes, lipsticks, perfumes and makeup. ย This is one of the best ways to stock up for the year (for yourself) as well. Across the stores, across the websites, just take a look. ย If you get really creative, then you can still get great gifts for the curvy girls in your life!
Other honorable mentions: wine glasses (wine glasses are accessories in my home), small tech gadgets and pretty covers and cases. ย It doesnโt have to be limited to โwearableโ items. ย A monogrammed mug like this one makes as much of a statement at work as a beautiful bracelet. ย Make sure to check some of my favorite places like Anthropologie, Home Goods, TJ Maxx and Marshallโs (personal faves for pretty, budget-friendly gifts). ย I was trolling on Anthropologieโs site and about laid out when I saw the gifts they have to offer for under $25.00 โ so pretty and feminine and perfect.
Those gloves JUST went on my wish list! Thanks Marie!
