6 Gifts For Fashionistas Within Your Budget 

Sure, you may want to spoil your fashionista girlfriend, but the monthly budget template you started using just doesn’t allow for it, what’s a girl to do?

Not everyone can afford to splash out on a designer gifts from Gucci, Fendi or Balenciaga’s new track trainer, but there are alternatives that still look the part. Yes, some of these gifts may be knock-offs, but if it still looks chic, then who could really complain?

1. A Faux Leather Cardholder

There are a number of luxe leather cardholders on the market today from the likes of prized brands such as Prada, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton. But if those brands are a little out of your reach, then a faux leather cardholder is a great option, too. Today, faux leather may as well be the real thing as it looks that similar!

Additionally, a cardholder is a little less risky than picking out an entire handbag for someone, in case you miss the mark in terms of style.

2. A Striped Satin Pajama Set

Is there anything more classic and comfortable than a satin pajama set in this world? Probably not.

This makes for an uber-stylish, chic and elegant gift for your fashionista friend. And if you feel like being a little ”extra” you can even have their initials monogrammed on the pajama top!

3. A Massage Beauty Roller

Skincare is a hot topic in today’s beauty world, and we’ve all become acquainted with the benefits of jade rollers for plump, youthful-looking skin.

If your girlfriend has a penchant for skincare, this is the ultimate gift for her!

4. A Faux-Leather Logo Belt

If you haven’t cottoned on to the leather logo belt trend by now, what rock have you been hiding under? Made popular by none other than Gucci, the leather logo belt is a wardrobe classic.
