Chic

(and cheap) gifts for your style-obsessed loved one

If you’re looking for a gift that looks like a splurge but didn’t break the bank, we’ve got you covered. Serious style isn’t about how expensive something is; it’s more about the impact that it makes. Case in point: Zara’s over-the-top cool beaded glass rose earrings or designer Matteo Monni’s whimsical take on the classic stovetop espresso maker. Both make a big statement at a small price, and both are guaranteed to be a big hit.

Alleviate some of the stress — and cost — of finding the perfect, stylish holiday present this year with our list of small but special gifts that pack a punch, starting at just $8. — David Syrek
