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.

(Don't forget! Share your finds on social media using hashtag #TheGifter to be entered to win a $500 TJX gift card, with one winner being selected each week!)

When I posted a pic of my bejeweled Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips jar on Facebook, everyone went ga-ga for the mini tub adorned with shiny Swarovski crystals! So I managed to snag one more to give away to a lucky reader, plus one regular Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips jar - so you'll have one fancy sparkler to keep at home and admire, and another to actually use on the go!

LOFT's lace front sweatshirt was originally $69.50 at loft.com but is currently sold out. I'm sure that with sales and coupons this sweatshirt could have been purchased for much less, so I'm not saying it's a "splurge" by any means!

If you missed out on the LOFT style, Kohl's has a similar look by Apt. 9 for $24.99 (down from $44) available in gray, black or blue at kohls.com and in stores.

Here's a photo I snapped in the store the other day so you can see how it looks in real life. I was buying gifts for other people on that trip so my husband wouldn't let me stop to try it on, but I'm thinking of going back for it - it was super cute and soft, perfect for lounging or running errands!

Kate Spade's 'Janice' bow pumps are $328 at KateSpade.com. Festive enough for the holidays but classic enough to wear year-round!

Get the look for less with LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's 'Vivien' pumps, featuring a similar metal gold bow, for $35 (down from $64). See how they look in real life in this post.

Wildfox Couture's Love Potion No.9 sweater featuring a glittery gold perfume bottle is $178 at RevolveClothing.com. Taylor Swift rocked hers with skinny jeans and red sunglasses back in 2010 (HERE).

Lookie what I spotted at Kohl's the other day! It's their very own Love Potion No.1 top, now just $20 (down from $40) at kohls.com. The designer version, of course, references the popular 1959 song by The Clovers (listen here), but the budget version is still cute in its own way. Click the image below to shop.
