Ten Gift & Stocking Ideas Under $20

Tis the Season! On the eve of black Friday, here are a few ideas for some fun stocking stuffers, all under $20. Whether you're buying for a friend, your sister-in-law, or your mom, here are a few ideas as you prep for the holidays. Or, combine all these into a cute gift basket for a fun (and dare I say it, practical) gift!

1. Nail files - Less than a buck.
People never buy new ones on their own and they get grody fast. Plus, they are cheap. Here are the ones I like from Sally's. Pair it with a polish for a cute token of affection.

2. Mini champagne bottles - $5 - $10
Cost Plus has a great selection of small bottles that you can mix n match. For anyone who loves bubbly this is a treat. Plus, these mini bottles are easy to sneak into the movie theatre (or?), if one ever wanted to do that. Go check out Cost Plus. I could wander in that store for hours...

3. MAC Makeup Wipes -$19
I guarantee that whomever you give these to will LOVE them. They smell divine and work perfectly to melt makeup. To me they are the one and only makeup wipe. Find 'em here.

4. Emerald or Coral Earrings - $15 - $18
These are so pretty. So classy. Somehow they feel sort of Jackie O-ish. A steal for $18. Get the emerald or coral online before they're gone.

5. Magazine subscription - About $12.
The gift that keeps on giving...requires virtually no effort and is such a treat.

6. Sharpie Pens of All Kinds - $3 - $10
I don't think I'm alone in loving Sharpies. In fact, I know I'm not because my Sharpies always seem to disappear. Buy a couple of fun colors in a set or just get different sizes. Very handy. Pair it with a set of notecards if you're feeling saucy.

7. Personalized Compact Mirror - $15
Wouldn't it be great to whip this out when someone tells you you have something in our teeth? Rather than keep asking, is it gone? It's engravable too.

8. Pop Rocks - $1
Kids of any age love these. I recently saw these at a discount store and I'm kicking myself for not buying, like, 10 packages.

9. This dotted Hobnail Tumbler - $10
Probably the most inexpensive thing you'll find at Anthropology (I often feel like I'll need to sell a kidney to buy a dress there). But there are so many uses for this adorable glass gem. Q-tips, makeup brushes, candy, toothbrushes, flowers, take your pick. You can find it online here too.

10. Over-the-knee socks - $2.50
Personally, I've been shopping everywhere and finally found these adorable feet at Forever 21 of all places. The had tan, orange, blue and pink at my store. Looks like there are lots of other choices online. Super cute sticking out of the top of your boots. Adorbs.

Happy shopping!
