15 Fashionable Gift Ideas for Under $15

Times are tough and money is sparse so what is one to give when holiday budgets are significantly less than a year or so ago. Well I am from the school that you don't need to spend a lot of money on a gift in order for that gift to be considered thoughtful and stylish. So, in order to prove my theory to you, here are 15 female friendly gifts for under $15 that are creative, chic and yes, thoughtful.

1. Magazine Subscription $12 - $15
This is a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year. Glamour is a fun fashion magazine and for only $12 for 12 issues, it's a great gift. Alternatively, you can opt for a 1 year subscription for Cosmopolitan for $15 (12 issues)

2. A Journey into Dorothy Parker's New York $13.57

This is a great quick fix kit for both the sky and the road and is small enough that it doesn't take up a lot of room in your bag. Can be purchased at one of my favorite NYC stores Flight 001.
