Holiday Gift Guide – Under $25

November 11th, 2010

The holidays are still more than a month away, but instead of waiting until the last minute to buy all of my gifts, I’m starting early.  This year I vow to walk through the mall to admire the decorations, listen to holiday music without getting annoyed, sip peppermint lattes and watch my favorite movies with girlfriends.   They’re simple goals, but far too often the little pleasures of the season slip by with all of the stress that comes with it.  So here’s the first of several gift guides that I hope you’ll find useful for the (quickly!) approaching holidays.

1.  Topshop Glitter Clip Frame Purse $12
2. Anthropologie Capri Blue Candle $18
3. Forever 21 Tribal Diamond Necklace $10.80
4. Sephora Colorful Artist Palette $15
5. Old Navy Cocktail Ring $10
6. Kate’s Paperie Fuzzy Wuzzy Pencils $10
7. Kate Spade Polka-Dot Coasters $20
8. Jonathan Adler Carnaby Hollywood Mug $18
9. dELiAs Ophelia Hat $19.50
10. Jayson Home and Garden Claw Bottle Opener $24
11. Chanel Le Vernis Black Velvet $25
12. Avalaya Vintage Gold Bow Crystal Brooch $22
13. See Jane Work Desktop Notes $8
14. Forever 21 Satin Bow Headband $4.80
15. Topshop Cheetah Nailwraps $14
16. Forever 21 Polka Dot Make-up Bag $3.80
17. Jonathan Adler Aztec Diamond Umbrella $24.50

    You have the right idea- the holidays are about spending time with loved ones (and doing your own religious thing), not mad dashing from store to store to buy stuff. Get it done early so you have time to sit back and relax!

    This is a really good list! I’m excited to go to Sephora to see what other palettes they’ve reated for the holidays. I got one a few years ago and used it all the time.

    Thanks for the ideas :)

    Great list! Accessories are a good idea since they are one-size-fits-all and you can always find relatively inexpensive ones.
