The best time of year- the holidays- are rolling around and obviously you want to get your squad something amazing, right? However, on the broke college student budget, finding the perfect gift on such short funds can be difficult. Luckily, here are 11 different gifts you can give to your BFFs without breaking the bank!
Forever 21
Forever 21 is the go to place for cheap gifts. I usually buy jewelry from here but there are about a million other options. Here are four possibilities, but check out their website for more gifts under $10, $20 and $50

Cross body bags are a perfect addition to any girl’s wardrobe, and this one is the perfect size to fit your phone, lipstick, and any other small items you need for a party or event. You can even tuck the chain inside and make it a clutch!
