It's time for us all to get a head start on our holiday shopping—or, at the very least, start narrowing down our purchases and honing in on our planning. It might still only be October, but trust us: in the blink of an eye, Halloween and Thanksgiving will be distant memories; it will be the first week of December, you’ll have already binged a handful of classic holiday movies, and depending on which holidays you're shopping for, you just might find yourself in a panic.
Luckily, we're here to help as much as we possibly can. From beauty devices that can be used over and over again to fragrances poised to become signature ones to slim designer cardholders that serve a functional purpose without taking up too much physical space, there are so many gifts to choose from without spending over $500.
Ahead, 20 gifts under $500 worth gifting this holiday season.
