It's down to the wire, and you're still not sure what gifts to get for your difficult-to-buy-for, artsy friends. But not every impressive holiday gift needs to come with a hefty price tag. We've found a crop of innovative objects that can be had for less than you’d think. Here are some last-minute gifts we love (images at the bottom of the post):

A ceramic version of the iconic New York City coffee cup for the nostalgic New Yorker in all of us. (Except Boston Red Sox fans, perhaps!)

Price: $13

We have ingrained in our heads the age-old mantra before leaving the house: "Keys, Phone, Wallet." That's why we think the Urban Outfitters' reminder rugis particularly witty.

Price: $18
Cardboard speakersfrom Muji, the Japanese minimalist "no-brand" emporium.

They are the perfect lightweight alternative to hauling around your iPod dock. They fold out when not in use and stand on their own as perfectly-pretty cubes.

Price: $38 for a pair

Lumiere set from CB2 (Crate & Barrel’s budget-priced sister site).

These modern hand-blown glass candlesticks instantly give your place a romantic look.

Price: $3 to $5 per candlestick
