The holiday season is coming up fast, and some may still need to shop for the most important people in their life. Finding the perfect gift with the perfect price may be difficult, especially when time is running out. 

Fashionable and affordable gifts for guys are everywhere. ASOS is a great place to shop for designer looking outfits, without the designer price tag. zappos.com is also a good place to look for complete looks that won’t break your budget. For shoes, look for a pair of Doc Martens. They are trendy, can be dressed up or down, and come with a great price. 

Great gifts for women at affordable price tags are also more easily discovered than one may think. Shop for silver Pandora jewelry. Riddle’s Jewelry in Ames carries many different charms and bracelets. Charms are affordable and many Pandora gifts are under $100. If one is wanting to purchase a complete look for their loved one, try Forever21. Forever21 has quality outerwear and trendy pieces perfect for gifts a loved one may not purchase on their own. Try purchasing shoes at Aldo. Their shoes and bags are designer inspired with a much lower price tag. 

If one is looking for small gifts for larger groups of friends or family, try easy and personalized gifts. William Sonoma sells holiday-inspired initial mugs, and one can also find initial mugs at Target. Both cost less than $8. One can also stop by their local T.J. Maxx and check out the home goods section. Their dishes make for the perfect jewelry plate that will dress up any chest or side table. 

Nordstrom Rack in Des Moines also sells designer items at a lower price, especially around the holidays. Rack is a great place for both shoes and bags. The store is large and it brings in new shipments each week. The store has a huge floor-set with a variety of cologne, perfume, clothing, accessories and shoes.

Shopping for gifts during the holidays isn’t always an easy task. Make a list of friends and family you want to buy for and stick to the items listed. Remember to budget and look online first to compare prices before leaving the house.
