Perfect gifts under $50

It is no secret we are in a recession and this Christmas we are all cutting back on the amount of money we spend on Christmas gifts. Great news...retailers are feeling the pinch too and are offering great deals. Here are a few of my picks.

I absolutely love this necklace...it is sure to make a statement and it's only $34.99. This necklace can be worn with cute skiny jeans and a plain white t-shirt. http://www.asos.com/

Ladies, this eye-shadow and lipstick palette is amazing. Only $24 ($124 value @ Sephora.com). Get is while it's hot. Your friends will certainly love it. I know I would...hint...hint...
