The Cali Chic Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts Under $40

Holiday shopping doesn't have to mean big spending. Every gift in this guide comes in under $40, and each one carries that easy California style Cali Chic is known for. Whether you're shopping for your best friend, your sister or yourself, here's where to start.

For the beauty lover

Bubble Gum Tinted Lip Oil, $16.99

Our Organic Vegan Tinted Bubble Gum Lip Oil gives lips a soft pink tint and a glossy finish. It's made with jojoba oil and vitamin C, it's vegan and cruelty-free, and the 10 g size slips into any purse or stocking.

Color Lip Pencil, Shade #16, $5.99

The Color Lip Pencil in Shade #16 is a creamy, waterproof lip definer with a semi-matte finish and a built-in mirror. At under $6, it's an easy add-on to any gift, or a perfect stocking stuffer on its own.

15-Shade Eyeshadow Palettes, $24.99

Two palettes, two moods. The Nude Eyeshadow Palette mixes matte, metallic and glitter shades for everyday looks, while the Smokey Eyeshadow Palette is made for evenings out. Both are vegan, cruelty-free and come with a built-in mirror in a travel-friendly case.

Gift idea: pair a palette with the lip oil for a complete beauty set under $42.
