The holidays are here, and while I'm tempted to hit the mall and do some serious damage, I've decided to reign in my spending and have some fun with DIY gifts instead! One of my favorite projects so far has been these DIY painted ornaments - I've made some for just about everyone on my list, from a chic hostess gift to a thoughtful December birthday present! I found the ceramic ornaments at Michaels for just $1.99 a piece. Regular acrylic paint went on easily! Here are four designs to inspire you to reach for a paintbrush and create your own masterpiece - family and friends will appreciate the time you took to make a personal and thoughtful gift. Who can put a price on that?

Have you finished all your holiday shopping!? Me neither. Every year, we resolve to get a head-start on our Christmas shopping but somehow the big day creeps up on us and we're scrambling to find cool gifts that still fit our budgets. That's where this week's mission comes in: Marshalls challenged me to an "outgifting countdown" to scope out the best last-minute gifts. And honestly, it was almost too easy! You see, Marshalls is one of the only stores I know of that has dozens of amazing, impressive gifts right in the check-out aisle! You don't even have to venture into the heart of the store (although I'm all for that, too) to score these fabulous finds. And since there's fresh merchandise every day, it's like shopping a brand new store on each visit - right up through Christmas and beyond. And because you're getting brand names and current season merchandise, your loved ones won't know you waited until the very last minute to shop!

If you're like me, you balk at typical holiday "gift guides" that suggest gifts under $500 or even $100 as somehow being reasonable. What am I, a Kardashian? I don't have that kind of cash for holiday gifting - but of course, I still want to get friends and family meaningful, stylish goodies that they'll love. That's where Marshalls comes in! Each week, as you may know, I've been tackling a new gifting mission and sharing my finds on Instagram. This week's challenge: Outgift for under $20! Marshalls is the perfect place to find amazing gifts under $20 because they offer top quality merchandise for less, so you're getting a better value every time you shop. And each time you shop, it's like a whole new store, with thousands of fresh, new goodies arriving each week! So really, this week's challenge wasn't a challenge at all - it was a breeze!

Here are 20 of my top gift finds under $20.

Yesterday on the morning news I caught a segment with the author of LoveThemMadly.com who shared 5 great gifts that give back - with each of these socially conscious gifts, when you buy one for yourself, another similar item (or cash) is donated to someone in need. It's a beautiful gesture for a holiday that's grown overly commercial, even if it seems gimmicky at first. In honor of Giving Tuesday, I thought I'd share these 5 companies that make it easy to extend a little holiday cheer to those in need.
