I love accessories. Â I’m also an expert gift giver (and modest). Honestly, there are times when we’re on a budget right? Â I love gift cards but what happens when you’ve alotted $10 or $25 on gifts? Â Are we limited to gift cards? Â No! Â Just a bit of creativity goes a long way.
With the holidays approaching, it’s important for us to think about gifts for others and gifts for ourselves too! Â At these prices, there’s a lot that can be done. Â Small gifts, stocking stuffers, Secret Santa – they can all apply!
I also, need to give a disclaimer – an accessory can be anything. Â Anything that accentuates how you feel or look in addition to the clothing you’re wearing. Â It could even mean technology at times. However have you seen something amazing and had to stop and ask someone about it? Â The holders and cases for our technology to the tech itself.

A Few Tips:Â
- The key to good deals is starting early. Â Especially if you can order online.
- While this next piece of advice is pretty obvious, when you’re on a budget, filtering all gifts to under $25 can net you some amazing finds. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â It doesn’t have to be limited to “wearable” items. Â A monogrammed mug like this one makes as much of a statement at work as a beautiful bracelet. Â Make sure to check some of my favorite places like Anthropologie, Home Goods, TJ Maxx and Marshall’s (personal faves for pretty, budget-friendly gifts). Â I was trolling on Anthropologie’s site and about laid out when I saw the gifts they have to offer for under $25.00 – so pretty and feminine and perfect.
Those gloves JUST went on my wish list! Thanks Marie!
