Luxe Gifts for Less

by cheapchica11 on November 21, 2008

While I’m all for shopping at Forever 21 and Wal-Mart when I’m buying for myself, I can’t bear the thought of actually giving someone a gift from one of these stores…I’m not even that cheap!  So here’s some helpful suggestions for gifting those special people in your life with a pricey present on a less than luxe budget!

1. Buy items in rich, luxurious fabrics like cashmere!  Cashmere Hoodie $79.50

2. Buy from the lower priced designer labels like Marc by Marc Jacobs!  MJ Charm Bangle $63.90

3. Pick unique, practical gifts that the recipient wouldn’t buy for themselves!  Juicy Couture Gloves $37.90

4. Don’t underestimate the impact of presentation…when something comes from a really nice store, chances are the packaging will truly make an impression!  Barneys New York Bangle $89.00

5. Buy items that are personal!  If someone is a traveler, buy them something that will help them travel in style!  Leather Passport Holder $35.00

6. Buy for the home!  This way, you don’t have to buy individual gifts and you can buy something more substantial!  Kalorik Espresso Maker $99.00
