Is gift-giving your love language? Do you tend to get carried away with spending thresholds? We know the feeling. This year, sticking to a budget is essential. In fact, at least one third of people are planning on going into the shopping season with a strict financial plan. But being a savvy shopper doesn't mean you have to sacrifice quality gifts in the hopes of spending a little less.

Abiding by a tight budget is a challenge, but Target is hoping to make it a little easier this year with versatile, customizable pieces that don't break the bank. From handbags with detachable straps to clip-on accessories, like handy lipstick and card cases, you can mix and match affordable gifts that feel bespoke. No one will ever guess it cost you less than $25. Better still, many — okay, all — of the options are bright, bold, and fit for the person averse to neutrals. Ahead, our budget-friendly favorites just for the fashion girlies.
