By Alix Turoff

You know what they say: It’s better to give than to receive, but giving your entire week’s paycheck probably won’t give you that tingly feeling inside. We’ve compiled a list of under $30 stocking stuffers for the beautiful girl in your life.

E.L.F. Studio 27 Piece Mini Makeup Collections, $15
This makeup kit is great for any working girl who likes to transition easily from day to night. This all-in-one 27-piece compact includes eye shadows, blush, bronzer, lip glosses, eye liner and brushes. In Limited Edition Red or Holiday Shimmer, this compact is the perfect size for your purse.






Origins Drink Up Duo, $15
Perfect for when her skin starts to get dry from the winter weather, this overnight mask is extremely hydrating and leaves skin feeling smooth and supple. Plus, it comes in a reusable water bottle which is perfect for the gym and each purchase supports Origins’ Plant A Tree Program.

Guilt-free cookies to make this holiday season!

Calgon Bubbly Bath Fizzy Set Morning Glory, $3.29
When there’s snow on the ground and a mug of hot chocolate waiting for you, there’s nothing like a warm, revitalizing bath. Calgon’s Bath Fizzys smell clean and delicious and the sponge that comes with the set sloughs off any unnecessary dry skin.






Sara Happ Red Velvet Lip Scrub – Limited Edition, $24
The holidays are a time of indulgence. So why not indulge without the guilt? This bakery inspired red velvet lip scrub, with its buttery chocolate and sweet vanilla frosting flavor, is so decadent you may not even need to real thing.






Sally Beauty Femme Couture Holiday Mascara Collection, $9.99
Add variety to her lash routine with these four mini mascaras, which offer a little bit of everything. Curl Couture in Midnight Black curls lashes without any clumping; Total Impact in Midnight Black makes lashes thick and dramatic; and Lightening Lash comes in Midnight Black and Black Tinsel to lengthen the lashes.

TopShop Set of Three Moisturizing Lip Polishes, $28
These TopShop lip polishes look just like nail polishes and come in varying shades of brown: Iced Coffee, Coral and Truffle. They’re a great alternative to chapstick during the winter if you’re looking for a moisturizing balm with some color!






Gift ideas for the fitness buff!

The Kuza Strap, $16
One of our biggest pet peeves is when our pants ride up inside our boots. The Kuza strap is a serious lifesaver when you’d rather not wear the long socks grandma gave you to keep your jeans from riding up in your boots. Just clip the strap (that looks like a suspender) to the cuffs of your pants to keep them from riding up.



LipFusion Objects of Desire Collection, $29
LipFusion by Fusion Beauty is the latest in lip plumping technology. Available in 4 shades, each gloss in the Objects of Desire Collection comes in a gorgeous metallic, floral packaging packed full of tiny microspheres of collagen that plump and moisturize your lips for a fuller and smoother look that can last for up to 2 days.






FootzyRolls, $19.99
Perfect for those nights where you danced so hard you don’t think you can walk the 10 blocks home in your heels without your feet literally falling off, Footzyrolls are the perfect stocking stuffer for the party girl in your life. They’re extremely comfortable, roll up to the perfect size to fit in your purse and come in a ton of cute colors!






Buddha Nose Booster Salve, $24
Buddha Nose’s Booster Salve is perfect for helping us overcome the post-holiday season blues that can set in as we take down the lights, throw out the tree and begin our New Years Resolutions. Plus, with essential oils of clove, cinnamon, tea tree and patchouli, the anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties can even help us ward off winter colds.






A scent-sational gift you can make yourself!

Booty Parlor Flirty Little Secret Perfume Oil With Pheromones, $22
The Flirty Little Secret Perfume Oil with Pheromones is just what you need to lure him under the mistle toe. Notes of plum, raspberry, jasmine, cedar and sandalwood along with pheromones inspire confidence and attract attention to make you totally irresistible. Plus, the size makes it extremely portable so you can give yourself a little boost of confidence wherever and whenever you may need it.

Lip Elixirs, $6.50
Great for an eco-friendly girl, Lip Elixirs come in recyclable tins and are made from a blend of kukui nut oil, aloe butter and cocoa butter to keep lips moisturized. What has us sold, though, are the 5 cocktail inspired flavors (especially the Vanilla Bourbon!).






Burt’s Bees Naturally Sensual Solid Perfume, $10
Solid perfume makes the perfect stocking stuffer (and purse-staple!). We love Burt’s Bees Solid Perfumes not only because of their 100% natural top notes of Italian Lemon and Sweet Pineapple, middle notes of Rose-Geranium and bottom notes of Vanilla and Patchouli, but also because they’re made with coconut oil, which makes this perfume melt right onto the skin.

Le Whif Whiffable Chocolate Powder, $8
After all of the holiday indulgences, Le Whif lets you indulge in all the chocolatey goodeness you want, while still maintaining your New Years Resolutions. For 1 calorie per spray, you can inhale a burst of chocolate, chocolate raspberry, chocolate mint or coffee. And, well, since life without chocolate does not a life make, this French craze could be the best gift we’ve heard of all year.
