If you don’t have a ton of cash to throw around for presents, you’re not alone. If you don’t just want to give another gift card, you’re not alone. Here are a few creative gifts under $20 that look way more expensive than they really are.

Beauty Buff

Someone on your gift list who just loves makeup and nail polish? There are so many gift sets available for under $20 from high end companies. OPI makes a four bottle mini nail polish set for $13. Tarte has also put together a bundle of their best selling products for just $19. To put that in perspective, their eyeliner is normally $19. Right now, they’re also throwing in their best selling mascara ($25) as a free bonus gift. Victoria’s Secret’s Sexy Smoky Eye Kit comes with a dual sided brush, six colors and a step by step guide for just $18. Stila makes a palette for eyes, cheeks and two for lips that comes with five or six colors each in a pretty box with a different inspirational quote on the inside for just $16.

The Bag Lady

Do you have someone on your list like me that loves bags? I love little bags that can fit my phone, ID, cash and lip gloss. Little bags are also good for corralling loose change and Top Shop has a cute teddy bear print bag. For just $16, you’ll get a 4X8” bag for inside your handbag, or as a first little bag for a little one in your life. H&M also has a hot faux leather and gold clutch. It looks like a designer bag that would cost $400 at some little boutique, but it costs $17 and change. If you have a bookworm, student, or greenie that loves (or needs) a reusable bag, Talented Totes has a fun one that proclaims, “Only My Credit Card Likes a Workout” and it’s only $14.

The Freeze Box

It gets downright cold here in Minnesota and I have a pair of shearling slippers and they are an absolute game changer. H&M makes super cozy anti skid slippers in three colors and I love taking off my shoes and putting these on at the end of the day. The best part is that they’re $18. Zara has a rib knit hat with ears for $16 that will be sure to match the “As If” mittens from Urban Outfitters for $16. They’re perfect for your favorite 90’s girl on your gift list!
