My sister is the trickiest person to shop for, especially during the holidays. Not only is she picky, but she’s also one of those cool girls who always seem to have everything. So, not only do I not know what to buy her, but I’m also always unsure whether it will impress. Usually, I end up paying a hefty price tag for an unsatisfactory gift. That is, until I came across the chic, rich-looking gift. Spoiler: the H&M leopard print shoulder bag for $25. Cheap chic, and most of all sister-approved. Praised for my frugal yet thoughtful gifting skills, I decided to compile a list of only the chicest, expensive-looking gifts for $25 and under.
Below, you’ll find the best affordable holiday gifts from chic French-girl staples, such as a tortoise hair comb and L’Occitane hand cream, fashion-person-coded home finds from Le Creuset and Williams Sonoma, luxe-looking faux-fur finds (ahem, this cute fluffy hat), and must-have beauty essentials. Scroll on to shop 50 chic holiday gifts that cost less than $25 but are sure to impress even the trickiest of relatives.
