Inexpensive Holiday Gifts for Women

How to Choose a Bargain Without Being Cheap

L. Galatea
Inexpensive holiday gifts are often overlooked or over-thought, but it is possible to find great inexpensive holiday gifts for any woman on your list without sacrificing quality. Bargain does not have to mean cheap or cheesy. Consider these examples of Christmas bargains:

Springing up all over the country almost over night, the Dollar Tree stores and similar one-dollar-a-product marketplaces are a wonderful place to find inexpensive holiday gifts. Stocked with closeouts and bargains, every item is just one dollar each. A Dollar Tree Basket Bonanza is a fun inexpensive holiday gift because you can use your own creativity to prepare a unique present bargain that will please. Bath themed, candy themed, stationary themed, or even craft themed, Dollar-everything stores carry lots of interesting products and inexpensive gifts that not only make great stocking stuffers, they fill a gift basket in a lovely way.

A Girl's Night In Box is a wonderful inexpensive holiday gift. What you need is a very square box (for effect), two chick flicks (one tearjerker and one comedy), a box of Kleenex, a box of chocolates, and some microwave popcorn. What you give with this inexpensive holiday gift is acknowledgement that your friend should take time out to be a girl. Check department or discount stores for a bargain movie bin, and you can probably keep the gift under $25 total.

Sterling Silver Jewelry from Sterling Silver Jewelry Club is fun, and the pieces I've ordered have always been good quality. This inexpensive holiday gift is advertised as a free piece of Sterling Silver jewelry, but there is a catch. It's really $6.99 each item. The website is interesting. Pieces of jewelry rotate on a somewhat predictable schedule. You can often find schedules for Silver Jewelry Club online. If you are looking for a really pretty inexpensive holiday gift for the woman on your list, I do recommend checking out their products. I ended up purchasing several rings one year, and they were very well received. And, they rotate different sizes, so if you are looking for an inexpensive holiday gift in a larger size, the site offers them all for $6.99 total, which includes shipping and handling.

Retro Candy is an inexpensive holiday gift that will leave the recipient wondering where you found it! Candy Warehouse is one of many sites that offer retro candy and nostalgic candy. If your budget isn't great, consider purchasing an old fashioned, hand made candy cane from Hammond's Candies. Sold in six for $16.50, these treats are a memorable inexpensive holiday gift that may just become tradition.

Personalized Stationary can be a very inexpensive holiday gift. Vistaprint often runs specials on personalized stationary, or you could consider taking a snapshot of her family dog and having it printed on notecards like those offered on sites like Printfection and Café Press.

Avon Bath Products are always wonderful inexpensive holiday gifts. Who wouldn't love a big bottle of bubble bath or a luxurious lip gloss? And, the Avon name is well known and respected, so this inexpensive holiday gift will not be one that looks cheap or like a thoughtless bargain.

Candles give a wonderful feel to home, and scented jar candles are luckily in every flea market or gift shop around the country. Be sure that if you choose a rich scent for your inexpensive holiday gift that it is not one that your recipient will be allergic to or overwhelmed by. It's usually safe to choose vanilla if you're not certain.

Finding an inexpensive holiday gift for the woman on your list need not be difficult, but remember that stressing out over the holidays isn't good for anyone. Good luck in choosing the perfect inexpensive holiday gift, and have a happy holiday season!
