For me, it is the women in my life that are the easiest. There are a lot of them, so finding some unique pieces that are budget-friendly has been key. I want to share these with you because all these are perfect for friends to even the pickiest woman on your list. Don't miss the giveaway going on towards the bottom. It just might help you with all your holiday shopping ;)

1. Foreo Set - Personally, I received this last year and have loved it! To me that makes a great gift when you use it and know how good it is. It comes in a cute makeup case and for $39, you get the two small cleansers. The brush alone is regularly $39.

2. Copper Wine Glasses - Forget giving regular glass wine glasses, these in copper look like you spent a ton and look special. They also come in gold.

3. Stripe Pouch - You can never have enough stripes! It is coated, so good for wiping down. Give her the option to use as a clutch or use for makeup. And for the price you could still add in a Starbucks gift card! #winning

4. Sigma makeup cleaning mat and brush - Another raved about item that comes with the bonus brush! This is one of those gifts that every woman needs!

5. Mustard Crossbody Purse - It's just the right size to fit everyday essentials and she won't forget this punchy color. They'll never know you scored this for only $25. It also comes in a hunter green, too.

6. Cozy Stripe Scarf - This classic scarf from last year was brought back in these soft blush tones and it's adorable. Cashmere might be out of the budget, but this soft cozy scarf is the next best thing. You can bet it will be their new favorite scarf! The solid colors are great, too!

7. Plaid Cape - The lighter shades of gray make this a gift that works for any age or style.

8. Chenille Sweater - If you're looking for a basic sweater with an upgrade, try the season's hottest fabric-chenille. It's the closest thing to being wrapped up in a blanket all day.

9. Knotshine Dainty Necklace - Giving jewelry can be tricky, but the design is sophisticated enough to work for someone who is a teen to an adult. It comes in three metals.

10. Neutral Stripe Cardigan - You might have a hard time not buying this for yourself because how good are the stripes done? The neutrals can work for the weekend to office, making it a great pick!
