‘Tis the season for gifting, whether or not your wallet is ready. Whether you’re spending the final few weeks of 2016 hitting up the sale rack or planning on DIYing all your holiday ornaments, there are certain trends you *have* to get in on this year. Before you start baking those legendary Hanukkah cookies, find a few gifts to fit any budget. We’ve rounded up our favorite 11 gift trends that won’t break the bank.
1. Bright Faux Fur: There is nothing better than a pop of playful color in the dead of winter. We’re crushing hard on bright faux fur like these ASOS Faux Fur Bright Pink Earmuffs ($18) or NastyGal Faux Fur Keychain ($18).
2. Playful Socks: Apart from the practical perks of cozy winter socks, adult-friendly yet quirky options are trending this season. Go festive with Nordstrom “Kiss Me” Socks ($15) or infuse a little magic into their holiday with ASOS Holidays Unicorn Socks ($13).
