Your Stylish Holiday Gift Guide: 10 for under $20!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

Now that everyone is back from Thanksgiving break, only two things are on people’s minds: Finals and the holidays! While it may seem impossible to get yourself dressed up while your brain tries to retain the history of philosophy or type up a ten page lab report, holiday shopping is always a good way to take a break from all that studying. And to kick off this holiday season, here is your 2011 stylish gift guide for us college girls on a budget. We all want to buy our friends that special gift with style and now we can! Here are 10 great suggestions for, get ready: Under 20 dollars! Yup! All of them are 20 dollars or below and will make your friends and family just as stylish as you.

As December rolls in a great way to keep your friends warm (and stylish) are with a few winter accessories that everyone is sporting. A great gray circle scarf is a classic look to add to a winter sweater, or furry earmuffs to keep your ears warm for the next few months. A great pair of thigh high socks is all over fashion right now, and a patterned pair (like those American Apparel ones) is a great way to draw attention to your legs. For those holiday parties, give the gift of jewelry. Gold and jewel tones are great for the holiday season; statement pieces like cuffs or bib necklaces finish off any party outfit. Lastly, gifts like those red faux leather bowtie gloves (my personal favorite) or cheetah belt are great for the winter/spring season and will get everyone in the spirit to add a touch of holiday spirit to their fashion wardrobe!
