Do you have a family member infatuated with pop culture and celebrities? Does your co-worker constantly talk about the new perfume released by Paris Hilton? Does your best friend live and die to wear what Lindsay Lohan is wearing? Here is the answer to all your holiday giveaway dilemmas. Read up for 10 of the best (and most affordable) presents endorsed by celebrities!

#10 6126 Leggings by Lindsay Lohan, $100 and up: A pricey tag for leggings, but it comes with Lindsay Lohan and Marilyn Monroe names attached to them—6126 was picked by LiLo for being Monroe’s birth date—what every celebrity obsessed girl would want in her stocking.

#9 Avon Unscripted by Patrick Dempsey for men, $32: Actor Patrick Dempsey from Grey’s Anatomy recently released this woody fragrance whose high notes are black peppercorn and cardamom, followed by violet leaves, fig and lavender. This fragrance is not only for the ladies who admired McDreamy to enjoy on their boyfriends, but for every man who enjoys the outdoors and is not afraid to show it.

#8 Influence by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, $23: The latest book by the Olsen twins is a compilation of interviews and pictures with the designers, photographers and writers that have inspired them through their lives as actresses, fashion icons and business women. A great gift for anyone who ever adored Michelle Tanner on Full House or  who wants to get inside the heads of bohemians MK and Ash.

#7 Dooney and Burke Hayden Panettiere’s Clutch, $295: The Hayden Clutch is perfect for those girlie girls who admired the do-good starlet from Heroes. The collection includes six handbags designed by Hayden, from which the leather envelope clutch trimmed with gold and a lion detail in the center, inspired in Hayden’s zodiac sign, stands out. To satisfy all fashionistas’ needs, the clutch comes in six colors: black, fuchsia, ivory, purple, red and royal blue.

 

#6 Jessica Simpson’s Collection Henri shoes, $69: Jessica Simpson has attached her name to several products in the past years: from sunglasses to her latest release, a fragrance named Fancy. However, classic black pumps are a practical, chic and useful present that no girl will find boring—Make sure you get the size right or at least a gift receipt. Jessica Simpson has been building up her shoe collection for quiet a while. Her footwear is not only classy, but also cheap in comparison to other leather shoes in the market.

#5 Victoria’s Secret Limited Edition Heidi Klum Collection Perfect Lipstick, $12: Leonard Lauder from Estée Lauder Companies came up with the Lipstick Index a few years ago. According to this theory, lipsticks sales go up as the economy crumbles. Women have the need to feel in control during a recession and to satisfy this desire they wear neutral lipsticks. Join the Lipstick Index and gift Heidi Klum’s lipstick in Malibu, a brown rosy shade that is sure to satisfy women’s need for empowerment.

 

#4 Fairy Dust perfume by Paris Hilton, $55: Paris Hilton is well known for her ditziness in The Simple Life and her partying ways. However, Paris is also a great entrepreneur who knows how to sell her products. Her latest release? Fairy Dust, a light fairy tale perfume with notes of pink peony, orange blossom gardenia, peach, water lily and patchouli.

 

#3 House of Harlow 1960 Black Leather Ring by Nicole Richie, $38: Who wouldn’t want to don a piece of jewelry designed by the queen of accessorizing?  Nicole Richie’s new line, named after her daughter Harlow, is available for pre-order at shopkitson.com—products will ship the first week of December, just in time for the holidays. This ring is a statement piece meant to compliment every girl’s holiday outfit.

 

#2 Ashton Kutcher’s Nikon CoolPix S60, $350: Not only are the television commercials fun and up-beat, but the camera comes in six different colors and includes features such as the ability to use a stylus to add cool effects to your pictures in the camera before connecting it to a computer.

And…

 

#1 Edie Rose Overdyed Denim Pencil Dress by Rachel Bilson: There is no denying that Rachel Bilson is one of those celebrities who can set a fashion trend in her pajamas and manages to look flawless all the time. Her line for DKNY, Edie Rose—which includes dresses, jackets, belts and t-shirts—, is completely sold out online. If you are able to find the dress in a Macy’s near you, this takes the number one spot of best gifts for the celebrity obsessed. Bring your mean face and be ready to fight Bilson-passionate fashionistas!

Bonus Gift Idea:

For the pet of the house….

Halo Dog and Cat Dry Food, $10: We all know how much Ellen DeGeneres loves animals; we have seen her American Express commercials and heard about the drama surrounding the dog she gave away last year. In her efforts to find good products and care for pets, she became one of the owners of Halo, which specializes in organic and healthy food for dogs and cats. Want a cheap celebrity treat that will make an owner and pet happy? This is it!
