The beautifully wrapped presents under the tree don’t have to cost a fortune. Here are great gift ideas under $25 & under $50. I tried to include multiple options for both guys and gals. Are you done shopping yet?
Under $25
1 / People take their to-go drinks seriously these days. I, personally, could always use a sleek insulated tumbler and would gladly welcome one as a gift.
2 / This basic Herschel beanie is unisex and comes in 35 different colorways! Listed at $19.99, it’s perfect.
3 / Board games are not dead! I couldn’t choose just one. Codenames will have your party rioting (in a good way) and Bananagrams is an amazing travel game. I once played it for hours in a bar and had the best time! Both would make a great gift exchange gift as well.
4 / No one should ever protest socks as a gift. Especially these adorable crews from Aerie. There are multiple design options & currently ring up at $5/pair.
5 / My dad has used a chopper to make stuffing for years. After watching him again this year, I’m officially jealous & convinced we all need one. Mamas – this would make chopping baby food SO simple!
6 / Saw these Puffin Flannel Coolers & knew someone needed it. That’s all.
7 / Never met a blank journal I didn’t love. Tons of options on Etsy.
8 / Trinket trays (or catch-alls) make amazing gifts. Literally thousands of designs out there – this green marble one from UA is beautiful, but you could also go thrifting!
9 / Can a kitchen ever have too many measuring cups? No. These Anchor Hocking Glass cups are in my dishwasher almost daily & still look brand new!
Under $50
1 / I was once gifted personalized stationary and have never forgotten it. Such a thoughtful, unexpected gift. Naturally, these simple cards from Minted stick out to me, but you can get something poppy and fun like these on Etsy. Price points are all over the place – spend as little or as much as you want.
2 / For someone who takes their sleep environment seriously, treat them to a luxurious lavender pillow spray.
3 / These personalized letter bracelets are popping up everywhere. Super fun gift, especially for a bestie or relative!
4 / Have it, love it, highly recommend for travel. The Friendly Swede fanny pack is basic but really great quality for the price. Understated and handy for a person on the go.
5 / Just like socks (see above), no one should ever protest blankets as a gift! There’s always room for more & I love this large faux fur throw for $30.
6 / Do me a favor and browse all the Homesick Candles. They make scents based on memories and places that matter most. Such a feel-good gift!
7 / If giving glassware is an option, consider something unique like a pair of stemless amber wine glasses. Or anything funky. Anthropologie always has a great selection!
8 / These grill prep & serve trays land on my guides year after year because we use ours all the time! So handy.
9 / That thing no one knew they needed. A 3-in-1 (portable!) charger for the iPhone, Apple Watch & Air Pods. The fact that it’s portable blows my mind. No more carrying all the cords.
10 / Extremely practical, but seriously handy. An odor absorbing splatter screen for the cook on your list. I need it!
