Holiday Gift Guide: Budget Gifts Under $20

It's holiday time kids, and we're giving you a week's worth of the best gifts that money can buy - whether you have it or not!  We'll help you kiss up to that pissy boss and make sure that nobody on your list has to stand in long return lines.

Today it's all about budgets - $20 doesn't buy what it used to (it used to be the down payment on a house) - but if you've got a twenty in your pocket we've got presents for you.

1. CHEAP LIBATIONS: Ventura Limoncello ($14.99) and Belvedere's ‘Buy Your Friend a Belvedere' (cost of a drink!)

Booze

Everyone likes booze!  Offer up a bottle of the famed Italian liqueur or a certificate for a Belvedere cocktail that anyone can redeem at their local bar.  The first round will totally be on you!

Because LA's weather is never consistent, use the knit cap for the days under 65 degrees - when everyone puts on their cold weather gear and preps for Winter Chill ‘08 - and don the militaristic Fidel Hat for the rest of them. You'll look chic either way.
