Gift Guide 4 || Gifts Under $20

November 27, 2012

These little gifties are perfect for that sweet friend, co-worker, client, or assistant in your list.  All goodies under $20. Go!


1| Fox dish. Perfect for the bedside table to stash all the baubles before going to bed. ($18)

2| Lacquer trio. Amazing colors for the holidays......they go with any outfit. ($18)

3| Marianella soaps for J. Crew. I blogged about these soaps here and now finally they are available.  Talk about a small business making it to the big leagues. Yes!  ($14)

4| Bicycle charm notecards. Who doesn't need cute notecards for any occasion.  I know I LOVE Snail Mail. ($10)

5| Mermaid bottle opener. My bar needs one of these STAT.  Whimsical and fun. I know my daughter would ask why her hair isn't red because of course if its a mermaid it has to be Ariel.  ($18)

6| Colorful votives. Perfect for any little corner.  They come in many colors- mix and match. ($8)

7| Zebra trinket tray. Another tray to store your beloved treasures.   ($18)

8| Monogram glass plate. This would be adorable in your bedside table to place your glass of water for the night.  ($12)

9| Monogrammed notebook. Talk about the perfect gift for a client....adorable and personalized.  Their pattern selection is insane! ($17)

10| Jonathan Adler decor books. For the decor obsessed. Yes, please. ($18)

11| Monogram acrylic pencil holder. Another perfect gift for a client.  A personalized gift just raises the level of thoughtfulness.  ($14)

12|  Voluspa candle. For anyone, for anyplace....you can't go wrong. ($16)


Aside from these gift options I also want to share with you a couple of very inexpensive gift ideas you can put together that communicate your thankful sentiment clearly.  For example, you can get a  clear glass vase like this one from Joann and fill it with with peppermint candies.  Add a beautiful red bow and a note like "Wishing you a REFRESHING holiday" and voila a perfect little gift that is also big in presentation. Or you can get a colorful and chic little flower vase like this one  and add some colorful flowers and you got yourself a beautiful gift anyone will appreciate.  For small little gifts its all about the packaging in my opinion.

Ok, I think I only have one more gift guide- the one for men.....but maybe I will leave that one for next week.  I may have a big announcement for tomorrow....but let's see how I can organize myself to make it happen.  And so after no more gift guides. Promise!  But are they helping?

    Aww, love, such great suggestions for moi and my clients. Your guides have been amazing. As you know, I ordered that adorable "There's a nap for that" onesie for the lil man. Methinks this should be a frequent thing for you missy with a tab so we can always reference. Lord, I can't wait for this announcement!!

    I have to say that some of my favorite gifts over the years were ones just like these- those that didn't cost a ton of money, but had something I love incorporated into them- stripes or an animal (like Mr Fox!). Great round up and ideas that won't break the bank!

    What curated selection! These gift guides are really helping me in deciding what to give and also what to KEEP for myself!! I love Jonathan Adler! I actually own a few of his famous pillows and vases. I never thought of giving his books as Christmas presents. Thanks!!!
