♡ Bella's Shopping Guide for Ballers on a Budget: Girly Christmas Gifts Under $20 ♡

This photo does not belong to me and was located through Pinterest.

Bonjour mes amis and happy December! It's officially the most wonderful time of the year...and, arguably, the most expensive. Personally, my love language is gift-giving, so I always look forward to this holiday as an opportunity to show my friends and family how much I appreciate and care for them. That being said, I am a full-time college student, meaning that I often come across the perfect present with a full heart but an empty wallet, leaving me to cry into the void:

Minus the eggs...

Well, guess what? There is.

Whether you have already joined the holiday madness that is Christmas shopping or are still telling yourself that you've got plenty of time to do so, I'm sure that both you and your wallet would be hard pressed to turn down some exciting and high-quality gift ideas. That's why I've put together a list of twelve fun and trendy items that will make any Christmas wish come true without breaking the bank. So, if you're looking to fill the space beneath your tree while saving some money for the new year, just go ahead and keep scrolling!

Also, each of the photos used in this post do not belong to me and are property of their respective websites, which are linked below each picture.

♡ FOR THE FASHIONISTAS ♡
Galaxy Choker by Moon Road Jewelry ($12.50 with code ISABELLAN)

For the days (or nights) when your outfit is in need of a little something extra while still being the star of the show, Moon Road Jewelry has got your back. This dainty star choker is my personal favorite from a wide variety of subtle yet eye-catching jewelry pieces, and with my code ISABELLAN, you can pick out your own and receive 50% off of your total purchase. Because these items aren't too expensive to begin with, you might even have some room in your budget to do some shopping for yourself as well. 😉

Gamiss Beaded Floral Crossbody Bag (NOW $12.95 FROM $26.68)

Everything about this unique statement purse screams "designer" to me except for the price. As extravagant as its 3D design may be, its crossbody chain allows a more casual look for everyday wear. Aside from this neutral rose, it also comes in black and in white, giving you the chance to tailor this gift to your recipient's liking.

Romwe "Tommy" Sweater (NOW $12.99 FROM $29.99)

While this sweater isn't actually listed on Romwe's website as a Tommy sweater, I'm sure that you'll understand why I chose to do so. However, where a legitimate Tommy sweater costs upwards of $100, this one is not only a third of the price but is also currently on sale for less than $15. That being said, I want to add that Romwe's prices and the quality of their clothing are not at all related; some of the warmest, coziest sweaters in my wardrobe have come from Romwe, making this one the perfect gift to open on a cold, Christmas morning.

NOTE: I am in no way insinuating that Romwe and Tommy Hilfiger are affiliated with one another, or that Romwe created a knockoff Tommy product; I simply made my own comparisons between the two designs and formed my own opinions based off of how I felt about each one.

Romwe Geo Stitch Pearl Beading Jacket (NOW $19.99 FROM $69.99)

I always say that I'm a sucker for anything with pearls, and this super girly bomber jacket is no exception--it totally gives me Chanel vibes while still being only $20! Its neutral color makes it so that it can be added to any outfit, but its bold, geometric detailing sets it apart from any other clothing item.

♡ FOR THE BEAUTY LOVERS ♡
Pop Culture-Inspired Bath Bombs by Amber Grant/PixieDustGrotto ($6.50+)

These adorable, one-of-a-kind bath bombs make for a gift that's both fun and personalized. Whether your loved one is a Disney fan, a Potterhead, or even a Netflix binger, Etsy's PixieDustGrotto is sure to have a set in stock just for them! The majority of her bath bombs come in sets of three, but there are some larger ones that are sold individually. I myself have placed two orders through her shop so far and have had my expectations exceeded each time!

Element of Surprise Eyeshadow Palette by Colourpop ($16.00)

Colourpop is known for nothing if not their high quality yet affordable makeup products that anyone would love to receive on Christmas day. I'm especially drawn to the Element of Surprise for its bold pop of pink in an otherwise neutral palette, which allows for a variety of fun and fresh looks that are still appropriate for daily wear.

Pink Wooden Handle Makeup Brushes by Glow: 30 Piece Set ($16.98 including shipping)

Fun fact: I purchased my very first set of makeup brushes from Amazon, and while it was not this set exactly, it was very similar. With its vast array of brush styles and tools, this set is so handy for anyone who may be new to makeup and not know where to start, or even for anyone who just needs some new brushes. They also come in a convenient carrying case to make the wrapping process a little easier.

Sheet Facial Masks by Dermal: 16 Pack ($19.99, $9.91 with Amazon Prime)

When it comes to gift-giving, it's hard to go wrong with face masks, which makes this value set of sheet masks a Christmas shopping lifesaver. Whether you choose to divide them across multiple gift recipients or keep them together as one large gift, you'll definitely be putting a smile on someone's face--if they can move it underneath the mask!

♡ FOR EVERYONE IN BETWEEN ♡
Paris: Through a Fashion Eye by Megan Hess ($15.26)

I just recently picked this book up for myself and I am completely in love with it. Paris: Through a Fashion Eye is essentially the girl's guide for French high fashion and where to find it, making it the ultimate coffee table book for the girly girl in your life. 


Mermaid Tail Blanket by LAGHCAT ($17.85)

There are two kinds of people in this world: people who want to be mermaids and liars. Whichever one your loved one may be, they're sure to love snuggling up inside this mermaid tail blanket that comes in eight different colors. Plus, as a bonus gift, the blanket is accompanied by a free mermaid necklace and drawstring backpack! 

Fuzzy Animal Socks by Zmart: 5 Pack ($19.99)

Who doesn't love a good pair of fuzzy socks? This particular set is made up of five pairs that each have a fun and unique design, complete with little faces and ears at the top! Just like the face masks, you can choose to give all five to one lucky someone or split them up across friends and family. After all, as the saying goes: "Warm feet, warm hearts!"
...Okay, so maybe no one's ever said that before today. But it still holds true.

Satin Bathrobe by Ekouaer ($9.99-$23.99, depending on size & style)

I know I'm not the only one who's getting total VS Fashion Show 2015 vibes from this robe, and that's why I absolutely had to include it in this post. Whereas the price of a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show robe typically clocks in at around $120, this one from Amazon falls in a price range of $10-$24, so you and your girls can feel like Angels without going through financial hell.



I think that's all I've got for you for this affordable shopping guide! I hope I was able to help you and your bank account a little with these recommendations, and if there's anything you think I should have included in this list, let me hear it in the comments!
