As much fun as it is to fantasize giving everyone in our lives extravagant gifts (including lots of handbags) for the holidays, that kind of budget is a reality for relatively few people.

So, naturally, that’s exactly what we did.
Below, we’ve assembled a lineup of sure-thing gifts, starting at just $35. We think they’ll put you on the right track to marking off at least a couple names on your gift list.
