All month we’ll be bringing you our favorite gift ideas for the holidays. Of course, our all-time favorite gifts are those that are easy on the wallet. So here, a list of some great gifts for under $50.

Warm hands, warm heart … and a pop of feminine color to update any winter ensemble.

Echo wool and cashmere ruffle glove, $28, www.echodesign.com.

A chic umbrella is something you never think of buying for yourself, so get one for the girlfriend who has everything.
Unique Vintage green peacock motif classic umbrella, $25, www.unique-vintage.com.
A statement necklace is always a good idea, and designing twin sisters Ava and Eva Bai create the most covetable styles for their line Vale Jewelry. And at this price, you can get one for yourself as well.
Vale “Macaroon” rectangle gem necklace, $45, www.shopvale.com.
Give a gift that will dress up anyone’s home, especially with a home fragrance like Satsuma mandarin and cranberry, all presented in a chic keepsake box.
The Body Shop Ho Ho Ho Home Fragrance Oils, $17.50, thebodyshop-usa.com.

Finally, something vintage, something personal. I’ve always loved lockets — there’s something so intimate, so historical about them. Kerry Kwan creates pieces that are vintage-inspired yet quite modern for her Tryst jewelry line.

Tryst “Her Name Is…” locket necklace, $38, www.trystbykerry.com.
Tryst “Sunday Morning” pendant necklace, $48, trystbykerry.com.
A new twist on the classic locket — an adorable locket ring! Tryst “Memories” locket ring, $38, trystbykerry.com.

Gift of the Day: Chronic Youth

I’ll admit. Teens are difficult to shop for. Especially the “emo” type teens I happen to have to shop for.

I have to admit, one good thing that’s come out of this recession is the return to a sense of responsibility and awareness.
