If we've learned anything throughout our years as shopping writers, it's that you don't no need to spend a ton to make your favorite people feel special, and this list of the best gifts under $50 proves just that. We can attest that some of the greatest presents we’ve ever received or reviewed have been below fifty bucks (and many have been well under $25). The old adage “it's the thought that counts" is especially true during the holidays. The key? Focus on their interests and hobbies (their social media will be packed with clues), and treat them to something they wouldn't think to buy for themselves–like a chocolate croissant making kit for any budding bakers or a beauty gift from a viral brand like Glossier for the teen girl who's glued to TikTok.
These picks cover everything from fun little stocking stuffers to personalized items (the chic monogrammed mug here is our most popular pick). Looking for a thank you gift or a small token to show your appreciation to a coworker? LEGO roses will last forever (and they're way cheaper than real flowers). How about a luxury present to spoil him or her? The bestselling fragrance set smells simply divine.
Without further ado, these are the under $50 gifts that we vouch for year after year, plus a few trendier items that we know will delight your loved ones.
