If you're just not sure where to begin, we've raided some of our favourite shops to find a selection of gifts for young women that run the gamut from pretty to practical, with a little nostalgia and dose of luxury thrown in for good measure. Whether you're looking for a cute tech gift, some delicate jewellery, a timeless fashion buy, or a bit of festive fun, you'll find them all here, and because we know the festive season can be expensive, everything is under £50!
