Holiday gifts used to be a simple, one-size-fits-all task. We will pack some cute cups or candles, bake some cookies, sign the card and cross out our to-do list. Now the gift bar has been improved. Thanks to daily online sales, social app promotions and higher prices, gift giving can easily exceed your budget... unless you make a list when you shop. This is the best deal, splurge and stock filler for every woman on the 2021 list, with prices ranging from $10 to $80.
