Holiday Gifts For $20 Or Less

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – You don't have to spend a fortune to give a quality or memorable gift. CBS2's Emily Smith has some suggestions for great gifts just $20 or less.

Christine Bibbo Herr with NYCPretty.com says whether stacking or just buying one, jewelry made out of recycled vinyl records will be a hit.

They go for $15 for one or two for $25.

"Super cute and cool. Moms will love it!" Bibbo Herr said.

Scented candles for $20 that boast a New York City theme are also a great gift. The best-seller is a wooden wick candle with a crackling sound. The item can be purchased for $20 until Christmas online at FifthandMadison.com

Fashion expert and author George Brescia says socks may sound lame, but they're all the buzz in the fashion world.

"These boys are having contests with each other to who has the best socks. It's happening on Wall Street," he said.

You can find a high-end, luxurious pair "for him" for just under $20 at HookAndAlbert.com.

For a fashionista, Brescia suggests hats found on BirdgcageBeanie.com—they're normally $25, but just type in promo code "CBS" and you'll snag it for $20.

Monogrammed mugs cost also just $18 on JonathanAdler.com.

You can also get a modern cutting board for the chef in your life with a Bed, Bath & Beyond coupon for $19.99; it measures and weighs food for precision.

Or for newlyweds, experts suggest adorable pillowcases on Amazon.com.

Finally, although it's not unique—some say a $20 giftcard is the best gift of all.
