The holiday season is the time for giving, of course, but in a much realer sense, it's also the time for budgeting. I get it—we all have a lot of people in our life who we need to give gifts to, from husbands and wives to children to moms and dads and siblings to office coworkers. There's a lot of shopping to be done! Setting a cap and shopping within specific price limits is your best bet for defeating Spending Season.

If you want a nice gift that won't cost you an arm and a leg, $200 and under is a safe bet for a price range. I mean, you can get really thoughtful, unique gifts for less than $20o, from high-end brands like Dior and Prada and Versace to everyday staples like Ugg and Cozy Earth. These are the gifts that don't look like you just went to the nearest open store and bought the first thing you could find—they're intentional, useful, and even, at times, extraordinarily personal.

Below, I've curated the 40 best gifts for under $200, from desk accessories to home goods to clothing and makeup. Keep calm and shop on.
