Some say shopping gifts for women can be challenging. That, I have to agree. I'm not implying that they are picky or difficult, there is just much stuff to choose from. And this can be frustrating.

A friend of mine asked me for some suggestions on what to give her girlfriend for Christmas. He also told me, they (him and his girlfriend) agreed not to spend more than a $100. Sounds easy right? Well, knowing his girlfriend, she happens to love designer labels. And my friend for some reason thinks that $100 is not enough to buy his girlfriend anything. I was more than happy to help and enlighten my dear friend.

Long story short, with my help he found the perfect gift for his sweetie and another 'smart' shopper was born.

With a little bit of shopping around, you can find a lot of fabulous gifts under $100, $50 or less! One tip I can give you: if you have a budget per gift, get a couple or more items that fits your budget. Doing so will show how much thought you invested on your gift.

So, here are my top 10 gifts under $100 that your mom, sister, girlfriend and BFF would love!

But with the fabulous prices on these great finds, I can afford to give her both! I came across a site that has a lot of Mother's Day gift ideas while I was doing my shopping.

With Valentine's Day only a few days away, I decided to change the usual 'Splurge of the Week'. Instead of pampering ourselves this week, let's make the upcoming  celebration of love extra special for your sweetie. As I was doing my window shopping, most of the sites I visited like Shopbop, Saks and Nordstrom has a section dedicated to Valentine's Day gifts. Which made me wonder if guys actually shop on websites that are mainly e-tailers?

Anyhow, here are some luxury gifts (with the exception of the Juicy Couture earrings, they are just so cute! ) you can give to that extra special person or people in your life. and let them know how much you love them! Tip for the ladies: Like these gits? Give your bf or hubby a hint by emailing a link to this post!

With the shape of our economy or unless your uber rich, as much as we want to give diamonds to our sister, moms or daughters it just won't be as easy as we want it to be. As an alternative, this Murano Glass Chain Necklace will be cherished by whomever receives it. The unique, modern style is quite trendy. Hey, it might not be diamonds but as the saying goes, it's the thought that counts. And besides, with the money you save from getting this instead of diamonds you can get another gift to accompany this one!
