Haute Holiday Gifts Under $50

By The Bandit on 18th December, 2009 | No Comments

Looking for a last minute gift for those lovely ladies in your life? Check out these perfect pics, all under $50!

For the…

Tree hugger

Urban Renewal Bag, $48. Green and gorgeous, it’s made from remnant and post-consumer materials. Looks equally smashing while holding a protest sign or trotting around on a high horse.

Fashionista

Embroidered Bib Necklace, $40.79 (was $50.99). This statement necklace is a conversation starter and an item none of her friends will have, which she’ll love. When strangers ask where she got it, she’ll casually say it’s a little gem she picked up at the Marrakesh market in Morocco. Poseur.

Minimalist

Sequin Swallow Crop Top, $36. Simple and unfussy just like her, but delicately detailed to add a little jazz to her boring ass wardrobe.

Girl who’s got it all

Crimson Umbrella, $12.99. It’s a classic and eventually it will rain. ‘Nuff said.

Coworker you hardly know

Crystal Paperweight, $40. Pretty and posh desk decor. Unsuitable for disgruntled employees as may also be used as a weapon.

Party Girl

Flower Mesh Bolero, $40. Whether paired with her fave LBD, worn over a tank and jeans, or crumpled on Mr. Right Now’s floor, it will make her the center of attention.

Prepster

Plaid Scarf, $28. Casual elegance at its best. Works nicely as a noose in case she falls victim to chipped manicures or ponzi schemes.

Romantic

Ladybird Locket, $22. Feminine charm and ageless style. There’s a fully functional watch inside so, alas, she’ll have to keep those pocketsize photos of Robert Pattinson tucked inside her bra strap.

Homebody

Pom Pom Leg Warmers, $24. Keep her as cozy as a kitten by the fire while she’s eating mac & cheese and catching up on The Real Housewives.

Scatterbrain

Family Notepad Set, $26.90. Help her help herself. She’ll be able to count her kids, keep track of grocery lists, and remember important to-dos. That is, if she can just remember where she left this notepad…

Jetsetter

Leather Passport Wallet, $48. Sleek and stylish, it will hold important travel docs, maps and condoms in one spot.

Product junkie

Philosophy Starter Kit, $40. This “Makeup Optional” combo comes with starter sizes of great skin care. The girl at the makeup counter who gives her free samples but never makes a sale will thank you.

Old Soul

Feather Comb, $38. Indulge her inner silent screen star with this vintage-inspired comb. But for the love of God, tell her that if she wears it with a fringe dress and t-strap shoes she’ll be hitting the town alone.
