Holiday Gift Guide On A Budget, For Her

Christmas shopping for all those on your list can be a challenge (we know all too well) if you're on a tight budget. While we've been perusing for ideas, we've come across a few things we would love giving to the ladies we know - and we think you would too! More than thinking of cost, think of what your recipient would treasure. If she loves entertaining, get her something she can use for that passion. If it's reading, buy her a book related to her interests or career goals. Here are some of our finds that may help you out while you're out shopping this month, and keep you from braking the bank.

Pretty Calendar $12

Isn't this Southern saying calendar from Southern Weddings gorgeous? For a recent grad, we love this gift - she can hang it up at work! To purchase, go to the Southern Weddings Shop!

Shimmer Gloves $24.50

These shimmer knit gloves from Loft are a steal and will be something that they can wear all winter long! We love that they're functional so that you can still use your tech gadgets while wearing them. The navy is our favorite, but these gloves also come in white and maeve.

Coaster Set $32

Give your loved one something that is both useful and looks a lot more than it costs. We love the luxe celestial coaster set from Anthropologie. It comes in many different colors to match your home or apartment, and no coaster looks exactly the same! See the set here.

Monogrammed Note Cards $18.60

We both know the value of quality stationary for writing all those important people in our lives. We love Etsy's selection of affordable monogrammed stationary that you can customize by color and font. Check out JubileeDesignStudio (featured below)!

Cutting Board $48 or $20

This bamboo cutting board from AHeirloom would be a treat to give the cook in your life! It comes in many different states, and it's also a piece she'll want to show off in her kitchen. For a less expensive option, look at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Bottle Stopper $28

C. Wonder's selection of barware never fails to disappoint. We adore this elephant wine stopper for some safari glam (Roll Tide!), but they also have a leopard or rhino if you'd like.

Coffee Table Book $22

What woman doesn't love a beautiful book she can display on her coffee table? Camille Styles Entertaining is one we wish was on ours! Check Amazon for great deals on beautiful books your gift recipient will cherish.

Other budget-friendly ideas? A manicure gift certificate + her favorite shade of nail polish, a pretty new iPhone case, a winter-scented candle, a magazine subscription on her favorite topic (shameless plug), a colorful mug + her favorite coffee or a lipstick from her favorite makeup brand.
