You can still tighten your money belt this holiday season without sacrificing quality gifts. Here are just a few ideas to help get you in the holiday mood:

(Main photo) I simply adore this line of eco-friendly wooden organic handmade line of toys and teethers for infants by “littlealouette“. Most items are under $28. My favourite being the “teething wooden owls” ($15) . You can purchase them on www.etsy.com

For the busy parent, avid traveler, office hustler and hard working student, www.myfaceworks.com sheet masks are here to rescue you from your skin. Convenient and airport friendly, one of my favourites is the “i need to open my eyes” sheet masks for $40.

Let cashmere be your best friend during the cold winter months. I think anyone would appreciate these little stocking stuffers  from Restoration Hardware. Mini Cashmere Hand Warmers for only $15.

For the baker in your life, he or she would adore this Victorian Tart (or pie and cake) Silver Server from The Cross Designs. Sure beats the plain looking ones and it’s only $12.95

Any good chef will tell you that you must cook and serve with the best olive oil possible. La Belle Excuse Olive Oil is the finest you’ll find on store shelves. Their quality is equal to or superior to specialty shop oils and it’s lower in price, $29.99 at Homewerx.

Love NYC’s Michelle Chang’s jewelry as she combines her love of art, interior design and illustration into her creations. Her Brass Low Pyramid Bangle is trendy enough and not too over the top. $40 from www.needsupply.com

For silky smooth lips this holiday season I just discovered Sara Happ’s lip line. Pick up her limited addition “Red Velvet Lip Scrub” or try the “Almond Creme” and pair it with her famous “Lip Slip” luxe lip balm ($24). Your lips with thank you for helping out during these cold winter days.
