Gift Ideas for Every Girl in Your Life, All Under $20

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

 

Looking for the perfect token for your RC or stocking-stuffer for all your friends? We all love to give and the little things are often the most fun (plus no one wants to break the bank on Secret Santa gifts!). Here are a few perfect little gifts for all the girls you know.

 

The Tech Goddess

 

Have a friend who’s always on her phone, is more attached to her laptop than her dogs, and knows exactly how to create the perfect Instagram work of art? She’ll definitely appreciate these adorable disco earphones or this Instax camera case. The earphones will certainly be a great pick-me-up when she listens to her favorite tunes, and the case is perfect for nights out when she wants that Instagram-worthy photo.

The Shamelessly Lazy Girl

 

At one time or another, we’ve all probably been the girl who would rather sleep for 18 hours and watch Netflix than dare put on makeup and go out. Sometimes the holiday season is the perfect side to let out your inner couch-potato! LUSH has some of the best products for this kind of girl, and the wrapped gifts are even better for the lazy gift giver who detests wrapping presents. This one is sure to melt away all your problems with the creamy body lotion and golden bath bomb. Did I mention it comes with a free piece of toffee? AND all of their products are handmade, and never tested on animals?? Doesn’t get much better than that.

The Fashion-Blog Aficionado

Some of us drool over the style and flawlessness of bloggers across the world and their effortless flair. If you have a friend who reads these religiously, she’ll certainly appreciate this fierce yet simplistic cuff. It will match nearly everything in her wardrobe but will still make a statement. Frosted nude lips are all the rage right now, so the BareMinerals lipstick is the perfection addition to her myriad beauty products.

Brushed Metal Cuff – Topshop – $15

 

Marvelous Moxie Lipstick in Be Free – BareMinerals – $18

 

 

The Coffee Addict

Ok, again, maybe this is all of us on our busy, sleepless days right around finals. But there’s always one girl who practically takes her coffee intravenously. She’ll love you forever if you hook her up with this Starbucks instant coffee. It’s even Christmas-y flavored, so she can treasure the holiday spirit while getting her daily dose of caffeine before heading jumping into her work. (P.S. it’s on sale right now! Order quick!)

Sporty Spice

Have a girlfriend who’s always wrapped up in her athletic endeavors? Does she consistently suggest a new ab circuit every time you grab Val with her? She will be all over this Lulu headband for her next workout. It’s chic but functional, so she can wear it to class and run straight to the gym after.

 

Skinny Flyaway Tamer Headband – Lululemon – $12

 

 

The Normcore Chick

We all know and love her, the girl who lives in a white tee and her AA jeans, goes makeupless every day, and still manages to look flawless. She might seem impossible to shop for, but every normcore gal knows form follows function. This stylish but simple watch will be the perfect accessory for her signature look.

 

Luxury Square Cork Ladies Analog Watch – American Apparel – $19

 

The Classy Badass

Some girls just exude the kind of elegant yet edgy confidence that is impossible to replicate. If your friend is like this, she’ll adore these fabulous shades and this little mug. Even though the dead of winter is approaching, this little reminder of sunshine will definitely put a smile on her face, and she can drink any kind of beverage out of this versatile teacup.

 

The Nyla – The Crystal Cult – $18

 

 

Classy Teacup – Urban Outfitters – $12

 

 

The Bookworm

 

Some people are so Belle from Beauty in the Beast that they literally walk around with their noses in the book. If you know someone like this, she will definitely swoon over these gorgeous recovered versions of Jane Austen’s classics. Although she most likely has read her favorite several times, she won’t hesitate to read it once more, especially not when it comes with such adorable binding!

 

Jane Austen Classic Novels – Anthropologie – $18.95 each

 

 

 

The Earthy One

 

We all know and love her, the girl who is always reminding you that your stress is probably due to the moon’s alignment with Mercury and who will undoubtedly play the peacemaker during heated Val debates. She keeps us all just a little crazy but completely balanced. Show her some love back with this precious Chakra necklace. It will be a constant reminder for her of your thoughtfuless as well as the strength of her own beliefs.

 

Root Chakra Necklace – $18

 

 

 

The Adventure-Seeker

 

This girl knows how to find adrenaline in everyday activities, whether it’s running through the pouring rain in just a tee to class or venturing to the rock-climbing gym. This Patagonia sports bra will be the perfect fun addition to her activewear wardrobe. She can rock it as a fun pop of color with her street clothes, or use it necessarily during whichever adventure she finds next.

 

Women’s Active Mesh Bra – Patagonia – $17
