With the challenges of 2020 (a la COVID), your gift-giving budget may be a bit tighter this holiday season, but that doesn’t mean you have to skimp on style. Plus, sometimes the price tag isn’t always the best indicator of a good gift. No matter your situation, spending fewer dollars doesn’t mean the thoughtfulness of your generosity is any less. If you need a little shopping inspiration, you’re in the right place. That’s why the list below was put together. I wanted to give you a start and some ideas for your Christmas gift giving. I hope you enjoy these carefully culled and affordable gifts approved by your favorite Indiana Personal Shopper.
Indiana Personal Shopper’s 2020 Gift Giving Guide
- Time and Tru’s Cowl Neck Sweater – with almost perfect reviews and a wide assortment of color options, this sweater is a wonderful gift option. It also has a flattering fit and works well with leggings as it covers the backside. At $16.95, you could even snag one for yourself!
- Time and Tru Packable Puffer Jacket–give the gift of warmth with this versatile coat. Multiple colors available and is currently on sale for $19.95.
Let me just pause here and point out that you may be surprised to find that the Time and Tru line is actually from Walmart. It includes clothing, outerwear, shoes, and purses. As your trusted Indiana Personal Shopper, I would only recommend something if I thought it was worth it, and let’s just say this retailer has really stepped up its fashion game!
- Animal Print Pajamas–leopard print is always on-trend, and these pajamas bring cozy and stylish together beautifully. Currently, $24.95, with reviews recommending sizing up if you…ahem, I mean, if your gift recipient, likes a looser fit or is curvier on the bottom.
- Women’s Paris Slide Slippers--these are not your grandmother’s slippers with lovely faux fur for $10. At this price point, adding a bottle of nail polish or two makes for a wonderful set. Plus, the slippers are open-toed so the wearer will want to show off her new nail color in these sweet fuzzies.
- Handmade Clay Earrings--these are a double win in my book. They are carefully crafted jewelry pieces, and every purchase supports an artist’s small business. An assortment of styles and colors are available with many under $25, including this olive pair. Be sure to check out Etsy for more unique finds that won’t bust your Christmas budget.
- Knit Beanie and Gloves Set – the soft stretch cable knit hat and coordinating anti-slip and touchscreen gloves are a classic Christmas gift at $24.97. This set would make a great Secret Santa gift as most everyone can use a pair of gloves and warm hat.
- Nevenka Backpack Purse–this bag combines elegance and practicality into one piece. It’s large enough to fit a water bottle yet lightweight enough for traveling. For $20.99, it is budget-friendly and versatile.
Now you have a good jumpstart to wonderful wallet-friendly pieces for the ladies on your gift list. I would love to hear about any exciting finds you have discovered recently on your search for the perfect gift or if you gifted one of the above.
