Incredibly early, the holiday season has dawned. As is the case every year, the holiday season comes unannounced. We've got the former covered with Amazon gifts and 2-day shipping, but the latter requires more thought. Thankfully, I was able to find some festive options without blowing my year-end budget at J. Crew.

J.Crew is currently running a sale that is better than Black Friday. Here's the deal: from now until December 12, you can save up to 60% off almost everything at J.Crew. And if you use the code “BIGSALE,” you can get an additional 60% off sale items. For the record, J. Crew's Black Friday sale was 50 percent off.

For those of you with holiday parties scheduled every other day for the next month, we've compiled a list of the best items to get you through the festivities. From glamorous tops and party dresses to chic winter coats and more sparkly stuff, keep scrolling to buy all of my favorite last-minute holiday finds from the J. Crew sale-you'll be happy to know that nothing costs more than $250.
