Here it is! The Budget Fashionista Gift Buying Guide that’ll streamline your holiday shopping and birthday shopping. The guide includes individual product reviews — and these are products we’ve used and personally recommend. You can identify these because the review is typically about a single product or brand, like this one about ROIL shampoo. The exception to the single-brand rule is this comparison of Le Tote and Haverdash (we’ve used both).

Our gift buying guide also features a guide to gift guides, because…well, why not?

But in truth, it would…
