STYLE | HOLIDAY GIFTS UNDER $50



Holiday gift-giving can be enough to break your budget.  What do you do when you have so many people to buy for?  Perhaps your office has added a gift exchange and you really don't want to spend that much.  Finding gifts that are not too expensive can be a challenge.  Here is a list of five holiday gift ideas under fifty dollars.  They are so affordable you may even buy one for yourself. 

1. WRISTLETS

Vegan writstlets by Humble Chic New York $28.00
 Wristlets are usually bigger than change purses but smaller than a wallet. They are the perfect gift that fits under the fifty dollar budget and they also make great stocking-stuffers.  If you want to step it up find a designer wristlet from popular brands like Coach, Michael Kors or Tory Burch.  It's a smart and simple gift anyone would appreciate.

2. TECH ACCESSORIES

 Most of us can't live without all our technology items.  So why not have them looking as stylish as we do?  She might already have a cover for that tablet, but it's always great to be able to change the outfit of your device whenever she pleases.  With a variety of colours, textures and fabrics available, finding a design that suits her personal style will be the fun part of choosing this gift.


3.  LEATHER GLOVES

Long leather gloves.
A pair of long leather gloves are elegant and classic.  Most women would love to own a pair of leather gloves but they are often an expense one doesn't make.  Long gloves that sit just below the elbows are just the boost of class a woman needs when wearing the cape trend of this season.  On an evening out these are what finish off a look rather than a pair of wool mitts. Gift her a pair in black, charcoal or chestnut brown.



4. ETSY JEWELRY

Sometimes the most interesting gifts come from places you would never expect.  The website Etsy.com has some of the most interesting custom made items available.  It also gives you an opportunity to know you're supporting a small business in growing their company.
