It’s that time of the year again. Time to search for the perfect Christmas gifts for everyone you know. It’s always hard to find that one perfect gift for each of your friends without splurging on big and expensive things. Here are some ideas for what to buy for each of your friends with unique interests – without breaking your bank account.

1.       The Fashionista

Your fashion-forward friend is the girl who can never have too many accessories! Search through the jewelry section in Forever21 to find the perfect chic and affordable wallet or bracelet for her.

 

2.       The Crafter

The crafty girl is always looking for new ideas to get creative. You can find idea books like Instacraft by Alison Caporimo or Craft-A-Day by Sarah Goldschadt at Urban Outfitters for a gift that will last longer than a week after Christmas!

 

3.       The Nerdy Girl

This girl is a Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and Avengers enthusiast. She’s in every fandom and is craving any fandom paraphernalia she can find!  Check out thinkgeek.com to find the perfect geek toy for her.

 

4.       The Sorority Girl

Sorority girls can never have too many monogrammed items. And monograms don’t have to be super expensive. Check out Etsy for monogrammed necklaces, car stickers, etc. that are sure to make her happier than partying with her sisters!

 

5.       The Music Junkie

Everyone has a friend who loves music more than food! She listens to music every minute of every day and can usually be seen walking around campus with her headphones in. Get this girl a portable amplifier for her phone, iPod, or whatever device she uses to play her favorite tunes.
