GIFTS UNDER £20 THAT DON’T FEEL LIKE AN AFTERTHOUGHT ★

Buying presents for everyone is all fun and games until you check your bank account.

Between Christmas presents, Secret Santa, birthdays and the friend who somehow always has something to celebrate, it’s VERY easy for the gifting budget to get out of hand.

But a good gift doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

We actually think some of the best presents are the little things you wouldn’t necessarily buy for yourself, but would absolutely love to receive.

So we’ve put together a guide to our favourite jewellery gifts under £20, from colourful bangles to statement rings and necklaces.

For your best friend, your sister, your girlfriend or that one person who’s impossible to shop for.

And yes, they’re all actually under £20.

★ FOR THE GIRL WHO TREATS GETTING DRESSED LIKE A HOBBY

1. A STATEMENT RING SHE’LL WEAR WITH EVERYTHING

Our pick: Gilded Gala Ring - £14

You know that friend who somehow makes a completely normal outfit look interesting?

The one whose jewellery collection is arguably bigger than her wardrobe?

A statement ring is probably a very safe bet.

Our Gilded Gala Ring has a bold, sculptural shape that looks just as good on its own as it does mixed with other rings.

It’s the sort of piece that looks far more expensive than it actually is.

Perfect for: Your fashion-obsessed best friend, your sister or anyone whose Pinterest boards are full of chunky gold jewellery.

★ FOR THE GIRL WHO HAS NEVER MET A COLOUR SHE DOESN’T LIKE

2. COLOURFUL EARRINGS WITH A LITTLE PERSONALITY

Our pick: Aurora Hoops in Multicolour - £14

Not every gift has to be practical.

Sometimes you just want to give someone something really, really cute.

Our Aurora Hoops are covered in colourful dangling charms, making them a fun alternative to everyday hoops.

They’re playful without being difficult to style, and they’re especially good for someone who loves Y2K fashion and maximalist jewellery.

Plus, earrings are a great gifting option when you have absolutely no idea what someone’s ring size is.

Perfect for: The girl with a colourful wardrobe, the 2000s fashion enthusiast or your friend who loves collecting unusual jewellery.

★ FOR THE GIRL WHO LOVES A LITTLE VINTAGE MOMENT

3. A NECKLACE THAT LOOKS LIKE A VINTAGE FIND

Our pick: Sophia Necklace - £14

There’s something about jewellery that looks like you’ve discovered it in a tiny vintage shop that makes it feel so much more personal.

The Sophia Necklace is one of those pieces that works with practically everything.

Layer it with your favourite chains for a more maximalist look, or wear it on its own when you want something a little simpler.

It’s available in gold and silver, so you can choose the finish that suits their usual jewellery.

Perfect for: Your vintage-loving friend, your sister or someone who wears necklaces every single day.

★ FOR THE GIRL WHO THINKS MORE IS MORE

4. A CHUNKY BANGLE TO START HER STACK

Our pick: Camilla Bangle - £15

If you’ve spent any time on Moon+Star, you’ll know we have a slight obsession with bangle stacking.

And by slight, we mean enormous.

Our Camilla Bangle has a bold, sculptural silhouette that looks particularly good with a wrist full of other jewellery.

It’s the perfect starting point for someone who wants to experiment with stacking, or an addition to an already overflowing collection.

One thing worth checking before gifting a bangle is the size. If they already wear bangles, see if you can get an idea of what fits.

Perfect for: The girl who loves maximalist accessories, chunky jewellery and an outfit that makes a statement.

★ FOR THE GIRL WHO WEARS THE SAME NECKLACE EVERY DAY

5. A LITTLE PENDANT FOR HER EVERYDAY COLLECTION

Our pick: Water Drop Necklace - £15

We all have that one necklace we reach for without even thinking.

And sometimes the best gift is finding someone a new version of something they already love.

Our Water Drop Necklace features a delicate chain and colourful teardrop pendant.

It adds a little colour without being too much, making it a lovely option for someone who prefers more understated jewellery.

And because it’s made from stainless steel, it’s a practical choice for regular wear, too.

Perfect for: Your girlfriend, your mum or anyone who prefers delicate jewellery with a little something extra.

★ FOR THE GIRL WHO’S IMPOSSIBLE TO SHOP FOR

6. A RING THAT MAKES EVEN A BASIC OUTFIT INTERESTING

Our pick: Chic Ring - £15

Some people are just difficult to buy for.

They’ve already got everything. They never tell you what they want. And every time you think you’ve found the perfect present, they buy it themselves.

Our suggestion?

Something a little different from their usual everyday jewellery.

The Chic Ring has a chunky, polished design that can be worn alone or styled with other rings.

A small present, but definitely not a boring one.

Just make sure you check their ring size first.

Perfect for: The friend who has everything, your fashion-loving sister or a jewellery collector.

HOW TO CHOOSE A JEWELLERY GIFT THAT ACTUALLY FEELS PERSONAL

Here’s our biggest piece of advice.

Don’t just think about what YOU would wear.

Think about the jewellery they already own.

Are they always wearing gold? Do they collect silver rings? Are they obsessed with pink? Do they wear five bracelets at a time?

Those little details tell you much more than any gift guide ever could.

If you’re really stuck, here’s what we’d do:

  • For someone who loves colour: Choose enamel bangles or colourful earrings.
  • For someone who wears mostly basics: Pick a statement ring or chunky bracelet.
  • For someone who loves vintage fashion: Go for an interesting pendant necklace.
  • For someone whose jewellery taste you don’t know: Look at the pieces they wear most often and choose something similar.

And if you don’t know their ring size, earrings or an adjustable necklace are usually easier options.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS AND SECRET SANTA IDEAS UNDER £20 ★

We think jewellery makes an especially good affordable Christmas gift.

It’s small enough for a stocking, easy to pair with a handwritten card and something the person can keep wearing long after Christmas is over.

For a Secret Santa gift under £20, we’d choose something fun, like colourful earrings or a statement ring.

For a best friend’s Christmas present, we’d go for something that matches their personal style.

And for a little extra surprise, you could even choose jewellery in their favourite colour.

The thing that makes a present special isn’t necessarily the amount you spend.

It’s the fact that someone sees it and thinks, that’s so you.
