Finding gifts for people can be an extremely daunting task.  Every person has his/her preferences, and I know that I always hesitate when buying something for someone, because I am always afraid they’ll absolutely hate it.  That’s why, this holiday season, sticking to fun items that are $20 and under will be the perfect solution to your gift fiasco.
When picking out these small items, usefulness is key.  Being in college means we’re obsessed with knick-knacks for our dorm room or apartment.  Personalized items and trendy items for the moment will definitely make your best friend squeal with excitement.  The perfect scented candle, a fun pillow, and cool tapestry can spice up any pals room.  Here are some of my favorites, all under $20…(OMG)!
1. Bath and Body Works Mahogany Teakwood Candle, $15
Â
2. SnapMade Personalized Pillow, $19.99
Â
3. Society6 Tie Dye Tapestry, $20
If your friends are not so into home decor, and prefer to pamper themselves, there are perfect gifts for them too.  Sometimes, makeup and perfumes can be seen as a cheap way out of a holiday gift, but these gifts are perfect if you combine them and give the ultimate beauty essential pack.  What girl doesn’t love beauty products?  There’s so much to choose from! Lipsticks, perfumes, lotions, and more…
4. Clinique Chubby Stick Lip Balm, $17
5. Juliet Has a Gun Perfume Discovery Kit, $15
Â
6. L’Occitane Almond Gift Set, $16

Not into beauty products or home art decor?  Then try some cool techy accessories for your tech-savvy friends.  There are so many choices for phone cases and for laptop cases.  These can be so fun to play around and search for because there are so many options out there right now.  The ones listed below, are suggestions if you’re on a $20 and under budget.  However, for certain cases, its quite nice to splurge.  Society6 is a website that has thousands of options for phone and computer cases.  The options are endless!
