Plus Size Holiday Shopping Guide 2008

Under $30...

Here's a great gift from Coldwater Creek for just $29.95 each when you buy 2 or more. A shawl doesn't require precise sizing, so you don't have to worry about choosing the correct size. The generous 53 inch by 42 inch dimensions make this a pretty safe bet for anyone in the 1X - 3X size range. Coldwater Creek carries most of their line in sizes 1X - 3X, so if you're looking for something else, this is still a good place to shop.

Under $50...

Chicos.com is not a 'plus size' retailer, but I like their jewelry because their necklaces are really unique and most come with chain extenders to adjust the fit. This 'Foya' necklace sells for $48.00, and is adjustable from 16 to 20 inches. I love giving friends and my mom jewelry from Chicos.com because they have designs you won't see anywhere else, and it's something that I know they won't splurge on for themselves.

Under $100...

This cashmere sweater from Landsend.com makes a great gift because cashmere is a luxury that many women will not buy for themselves. This one comes in 18 beautiful colors and is available in sizes 1X - 3X. The fit is natural, meaning it neither hugs the body nor is too loose.

Happy shopping, and be sure to let us know about the great gift ideas that you find out there.
