12 Days of Christmas: Gifts on a Tight Budget

This is my 12 Days of Christmas, Day Two! Yesterday I featured my favorite Christmas music (here) and today is my gift guide on a budget. 

Shopping for gifts is always difficult, both for very good friends, close family members, and relative strangers. If you are as Type-A as me you make a list of everyone you need to get a present for and then with your Christmas budget allocate a dollar amount to each person and then purchase presents according to these allocations.  There are many girls on my list and I have found my favorite gifts for under 10, 25, and 50 dollars this holiday season:  
Philosophy Peppermint duo bath gel / Picture frame /  Essie nail polish
Miss Selfridge Cross ring /Old Navy gloves / Top Shop Polar Bear socks / Gold ornament / Guess cuff / Mustache coasters

Mossimo  tank / Blu Bijoux Cocktail  ring  / Sephora OPI nail polish
NARS lipstick / WetSeal bangles /  All Eyes on Me scarf /  J. Crew 2013 Pocket 2013 datebook / Urban Outfitters elephant bank


Apple ipod / Bobbi Brown palette / Kate Spade iphone case
Zara gloves / La Mer watch bracelet
Payard macaroons / Capri candle  / Bosom  Monogrammed Tortoise cuff /Kat Von D perfume

Who on your list fits into this budget?  What is your favorite item?

      Thank you! It is amazing – it is my usual going out scent. The website describes it as “Light, delicate top notes of orange blossom, refreshing mandarin, and fleshy plum create a provocative, sultry heart. Rich jasmine blends seamlessly with a white-flower bouquet, beautifully tainted by the spicy warmth of cinnamon, an herb associated with ancient rituals of pleasure. A dark, mysterious back of earthy vetiver, patchouli, and woods enveloped in creamy vanilla and sensual musk lingers on the skin.”

      A very long description but it is actually that amazing!

    These are great picks- I love that it’s sorted by price. If I have a lot of people to shop for I have a lower budget but now I only buy for my family and boyfriend so I can spend a little more!
