Last Minute Gifts Ideas (all under $20)

With December the 25th rapidly approaching we have a hunch that there are more than a few people out there who are creatively strapped for ideas when it comes to giving a gift or two. Maybe you need something for a friend or cousin, or that co-worker you weren't planning on giving anything to, but then they gave you something so you HAVE to give them something...I know you see where I am going with this...which is why we have a list of last minute stocking stuffers. Fun gifts that are all under twenty dollars and can be construed as either witty and personal, or charmingly impersonal--which would be just perfect for that co-worker.

Let's begin, shall we?

1. Chalk Note Glassware (Pier1.com, $3-$10)
You know that game everyone plays? The which-glass-is-mine-game? Well Chalk Note Glassware puts a delightful end to it by allowing you to write your name on your glass. You can even jot down the name of the wine you're drinking on the carafe.

2. Pashminas (Peachcouture.com, $9.95)
Cashmere is great but we could do without the price tag. And with these pashminas, which, believe us, can be worn with anything, you can have your cake and eat it too! (Just keep it away from the fabric).
3. Dirty Doilie Cards (prettybitter.com, $2.99 or $17.94 for a set of 6)
So maybe these aren't exactly witty, but they are wickedly funny. You can choose from several phrases, including "Die" and "Hot Mess".

4. Time Mugs (timemug.com, $19.95)
Have a friend who is a certified coffee fiend? Well then this insulated Time Mug is perfect! Available in over 15 colors with 4 different style timepieces to choose from, there will never be another excuse for missing that morning meeting...again.


5. The "Taming of the Shoe" Calendar (barnesandnoble.com, $13.99)
Just because there is snow on the ground doesn't mean a girl can't wake-up with open-toed pumps each morning. This Andy Warhol Wall Calendar is whimsical and fun and will keep any fashionista going until Spring.

6. Cocktail Maker Set (Target.com, $19.99)
With this sleek bar set, there will no need to venture out this holiday season. Stay local with your friends and family and shake up a few martinis and cosmopolitans of your very own.
It comes with a shaker, ice tongs, bar knife, waiter's friend, double jigger, and, of course a bottle opener.

7. Deconstructed Cuckoo Clock (kikkerlandshop.com, $19)

Who doesn't like a conversation piece? This clock's intricate detailing looks so pretty i n white and the coral hands give it an unexpected pop of color. And anyway, bath salts as gifts are so cliche.

8. Fashion Print (prismeradesign.com, $20)
Perfect for that girl who has everything.

9. Chanel Nailpolish in Midnight Red (bloomingdales.com $20)
Chic, simple and as classic as a strand of pearls. Trust us, any girl would love this.



10. Cashmere Gloves (kmart.com, $19.99)
These Jaclyn Smith cashmere gloves are not only luxurious but completely within the budget-realm. Perfect for these winter days!
