Who said you have to go broke during the holidays? Okay, maybe history has made it pretty clear that that’s the norm, but this is the year things change! Sure, it's easy to get carried away in the excitement of an extravagant gift guide or holiday section of your favorite e-comm site—we’re looking at you, Moda Operandi—but, if you’re looking to keep your costs out of the triple (or quadruple) digits between now and Christmas, there are plenty of affordable options anyone would be happy to receive. All you have to do is look or, of course, come to Who What Wear, where today we’ve rounded up 15 killer gifts under $15 to keep your budget in line this holiday season. From jewelry to jewelry trays to beauty products and books, shop our picks below and trust us, these are not your average trinkets.
A simple gift that any girl would appreciate.
It may only cost $10, but this will be invaluable to a newly engaged lady.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
