Dannielle Kyrillos from DailyCandy.com shares some mostly-on-a-budget holiday gift ideas – check it out!

Product Information

Dannijo Aphrodite cuff, $318 dannijo.com, Leave medical tools to the experts, i.e., genius Dannijo jewelry designers Danielle and Jodie Snyder. The sisters use them to get their intricate creations just right (the former learned wiring from playing in her dad’s medical bag as a kid). The prognosis is lookin’ good for the girls, whose collection features bold but tasteful — and downright pretty — pieces, all handmade in NYC. Think big layered gold chain necklaces, hand-hammered Byzantine cuffs, and dangly earrings resembling “the whiskers of a French cat.”

Happy Socks, $10, happysocks.com, The unisex styles are made by a family-run company that is also responsible for keeping the feet of Belgian and Turkish soldiers warm. Available in solids, two tones, or even four or five color combos, they’ll turn your sock drawer into an art show. And if you are perpetually losing socks, start off mismatched with the Odd Couple — a pair of inversely colored feet warmers.

Works on Whatever Artist Towels, $50, worksonwhatever.com, Proceeds from these limited-edition beach towels go to Art Production Fund, a nonprofit that develops public art projects.

Nest Pretty Things Hair Gift Set, $15, nestprettything.com, Crafty lady in Vermont hand-makes adorable hair accessories, note cards, and pouches.

Pillow Pillow Pillow dog pillows, $86, pillowpillowpillow.com, The entire collection of puppy dog and kitty cat cushions is now available online. The new Litter collection will make you swoon.

Super sleek and elegant cheese slicer, $29.50, iloveuma.com

Looks-way-more-expensive than it is Indian patterned platter, $125 or $150, thekitchenstoreonline.com

John Murphy print, $35-$60, shopjohnmurphy.com, Ethereal and divine…they’ll think of you every day when they gaze upon it.

Erica Weiner Herkimer diamond ring, $100, bonadrag.com, The six-sided, double-terminated quartz crystals are giant in size and have a diamond-in-the-rough aesthetic but cost only a whopping one hundred bucks (for serious). Each is unique and set by hand in a solitaire, sterling silver, raised-bezel setting.

Nankeen’s weekend bag — perfect for any man, $215, nankeenstyle.com

Hand-painted ostrich egg, $149, assouline.com, A great gift for the bachelor with everything. Fits in anywhere.

Oh, Isaac, I loved you said that about the ASPCA. This is one of the things my husband and I do every year. Bring some food and donations to our area Shelter. That would be a great gift with the cute Pillow, Pillow, Pillow and a donation. I am going to give my Smokey and Mikey a big hug right now...wishing all dogs and cats could feel as safe and loved as they do. You have a beautiful spirit, Isaac....:) Love all these gifts ideas, as well....thank you for these tips.
