The annual holiday shopping season can be the most exciting event of the year or the most stressful one. On one hand, showering your loved ones with gifts can feel heartwarming, but the frantic search beforehand to ensure you have the perfect present for everyone on your list can surely raise your cortisol levels. All that shopping adds up in the dollar sign department, and sometimes you just can't afford all the luxe or expensive things you wish you could give. But you don't have to blow your entire paycheck this holiday season because there are plenty of quality gifts at lower price ranges, too.

Believe it or not, the $10 and below category is full of amazing beauty products and hair care, skin care, and makeup from some of your favorite brands, including Beautyblender, Paula's Choice, and Kristin Ess.

Besides being exceptionally cute, these teeny-tiny products are perfect for your travel-obsessed friends or someone who wants to sample an entirely new brand or product.
