The holiday season is in full swing, so it’s time to stock up on some affordable gifts for those special people on your list.  

Whether you want a gift that’s classic and warm, glitzy and glam, or trendy and fashion-forward, we’re confident you’ll find something here that won’t bust your budget. Many of these are not only suitable for the eco-conscious gal, but also for the vegan ones, too! Affordable gifts with an eco-friendly twist — what’s not to love?!

1. Trendy Stackable Ring

If you thought boutique jewelry was out of reach for gift giving this year, then think again! This dainty and delicate sterling silver ring is handcrafted from hammered 18 gauge wire and is then dipped in gold to give it that lustrous finish. The style is perfect for the trendy woman in your life who loves to stack her rings — truly a beautiful and memorable addition to her collection. Priced at $40.

And for even more awesomely eco-conscious gifts, you’ll definitely want to keep browsing Bead & Reel’s online ethical boutique. Not only does this company take the time to carefully curate its inventory, but there is an ethical spin on all of the items in the shop. “Vegan friendly,” “woman owned company,” “made in the USA,” and “sweatshop-free” are just a few of the many responsible stamps that could come with your purchase.

2. Statement Knit Beanie

With its signature chunky knit and super noggin warming abilities, this beanie is a great classic gift for someone in your life who prefers to stay toasty, cozy, and classically cool. A hat like this would pair well with virtually everything in a winter wardrobe. Plus, its one-size-fits all circumference means you won’t have to worry about getting the fit wrong. Priced at $38.

3. Sweet Hostess Apron

If you have a friend or family member who loves to host dinner parties, or cook her meals while looking absolutely fabulous, then she’ll adore this glamorous apron. The gold polka dots and girly bow give off a designer Kate Spade vibe that’s perfect for someone who’s fashion-forward but not overly trendy. Present this chic apron with outer wrap to match. Priced at $34.

4. Warm Blanket Scarf

When it comes to affordable gifts that are practical and happily received, you can’t beat this oversized scarf. The brushed exterior, fringe trim, and variety of colors are able to work for many different styles and tastes. What’s great is that this can be tied around the neck, or draped around the shoulders like a wrap. Priced at $48.

5. Shimmering Bobby Pins

Whether your recipient is a hair styling fanatic, or can’t find her way around a straight iron matters not, because these beautiful bobby pins are an accessory that anyone can use. Pop them in an elaborate up-do, or pull back a few strands and slide them in. Either way, these geode and natural stone hair accessories are sure to “wow” this holiday season. Price at $48.
