Holiday Time is here!
The lights are up, sales are on, and the weather's...mild.
Anyway, if you've been procrastinating (as I have) on buying holiday presents, don't despair. I've compiled a few frugal ($50 or less) and fabulous stocking stuffers for the fashionable people in your life. Find 'em online and order just in time!
First up: BFF/Sister
Show your girl some love with this $34 square buckle braided wide belt from Urban Outfitters:
It's trendy, hip, and will fit seamlessly into any divalicious wardrobe. Comes in brown, black, or ivory.
The next bomb item is this luminous leaf necklace from Urban Outfitters:
A veritable steal at $18, this necklace's cute yet simple design will deliver an understated accent to any outfit. Bonus: No worries about size!
No worries about size either with this 5-piece set of bangles by A.V. Max:
These "go-with-anything" bracelets are $41 at girlshop.com.
Lastly, for the friend who has it all (there are a few), try ordering some Personalized Princess Stationary...
...so she can send notes in high style. $50 for a set of 20 at www.thestationerystudio.com.
Next on the holiday list? Let's take care of your boyfriend/brother/guy friend.
Ask any guy what they want and it's like pulling teeth (trust me, I know).
Anything having to do with electronics is a 'go,' so I found these Fabrix Ipod Holders:
They come in cute styles for guys and gals, and are only $20 at www.fabrixcases.com.
Hoodies are also huge this season, and Dr. Jay's has a large selection. This Mecca hoody...
...is about $40.
And this Nylon Printed Hoody:
...is $50.
Lastly, for guys, I fancied this $40 hat by Diesel:
Get it at Urban Outfitters online.
Moms and Dads are a little tougher to buy for when the limit is $50, but the following items have potential.
For Mom, these $20 Ann Taylor tipped gloves are a good look:
And this matching scarf is $25...
...at www.anntaylor.com.
Still stumped? You can never go wrong with a magazine subscription.
Buy your fashionable mom a subscription to Vogue for $18.
Now for Dads.
Any business man can use a card case, and this one by Ennis....
is $39 at www.ExtraordinaryNy.com
This Blackberry holder is at Ann Taylor...
...but I think a man could get away with this $38 one.
And lastly, go ahead and get Dad a magazine subscription as well....
....he can get two years of GQ for only $20.
Finally, for anyone on your list, you can never go wrong with style centered books or DVD's!
At www.amazon.com you can buy...
1 complete season of Sex and the City....
...for $50.
Seasons 1-3 of fashion centered British Comedy Absolutely Fabulous....
...for $30.
Divalicious reads, like Dress your Best by Clinton and Stacy...
...for $19.
The Budget Fashionista by Kathryn Finney....
...for $13.
The Pocket Stylist by Kendall Farr...
...for $20.
Andre Leon Talley's memoir...
...for $35.
And of course, Fabulosity by Kimora Lee Simmons...
...for only $26.
Gifts that keep on giving:)
Smootches!

great finds on the gifts, Claire. Keep the great posts coming!
You can order vogue and four other magazines for just $29.95.
http://www.bigmags.com/?id= 31231
So it will be 5 magazines for about the price of 1.25.
Who has read that book on Andre? It looks good.
Good call on the books. I have the Kathryn Finney and Kendall Farr books, but not the Kiki or the Clinton/Stacy book.
A note: Finney, Farr and the Kelly/London books all acknowledge full-fashioned women.
What about Effortless Style by June Ambrose? I think it's a great book . Also the Essence beauty books and the InStyle, Glamour and Nylon fashion books are all on my fashion/beauty book list.
Great gift ideas! I am so sick of "affordable gift guides" only featuring unsavory, bottom of the barrel items that fall within my budget.
Very interesting...
I already think your pretty fantastic with your fashion taste buds so seasoned and all but, you see when you offered up ABFAB for a christmas gift!!! YOU entered a whole new level of truly Cosmo girl wave length. Kudos
