When it comes to your mom, your sister, and your closest gal pal, only the best will do for a Christmas gift. You might be scrimping on a few presents this year (Don't worry, we won't judge. In fact, here are a few gift ideas that cost next to nothing!), but for the ladies you share a unique bond with and who are there every step of the way, we say spend a little—no one deserves the gratitude more than your mom or your best friend.

Our suggestion? Jewelry and watches! After all, no righteous woman can ever resist exquisitely cut stones (whether costume or not) or sleek watches—making parting with your hard-earned cash well worth the smiles and tears you'll be getting in return.
