Holiday Gift Guide Day 9: Gifts on the Cheap ($25 and less)
Who said the holidays have to be expensive? The greatest thing about shopping in Manhattan is that there is something to match everyone’s budget!
Henri Bendel, the Fifth Avenue retailer, has a great selection of small leather items and other accessories like the Metallic Foil Mini Books. This is a tiny notebook (2 5/8" x 3 3/4") with lined pages, illustrated endpapers, and embossed title on the front. Available in five different colors. Choose from Blue/It List, Green/Me, Myself, & I, Red/Remind Me, gold/Gold Digger, and my personal favorite, pink/Lovers & Other Strangers. Each book has the Henri Bendel logo embossed on the back. Available at the Henri Bendel Midtown location and online. $20
The gift-section of Urban Outfitters is a mecca for unique items that cost next to nothing. Twenty-five bucks will buy your choice of witty books, vintage t-shirts, and accessories. Become MacGyver-esque with the City Survival Tool. This tool has everything a city slicker could ever need: LED flashlight, compass, can/cap opener, wire stripper, cork screw, flat screw driver, set of pliers, knife, and a screwdriver bit set. Available at Urban Outfitters six Manhattan locations and online. $25
If you can handle the chaos of hundreds of other bargain-hunting fashionistas, Marc Jacobs’ West Village boutique is a haven. Marc Jacobs trinkets like keychains, necklaces, totes, gloves, flip-flops, and limited-edition products for under $20! Beware: There are three Marc Jacobs stores in West Village, but this is the one you want to go to for the deals.
Swedish clothier H&M offers a huge selection of the clothing, accessories, and shoes with a price tag that would shock even the thriftiest shopper. You can shop for men, women, boys, and girls without breaking the bank. Hats, belts, messenger bags, jewelry, and so much more all for under $25. Multiple Manhattan locations and stores across the world.
