Hands Down, The 75 Most Impressive Gifts Under $25 On Amazon

1A Set Of Celeb-Loved Skin Care Products For Maximum Hydration

This trio of skin care products doesn’t call itself the Dream Team for nothing. Comprising two moisturizing overnight masks for your face and one for your lips, this Laneige set is capable of transforming even the driest skin into a plumped-up, dewy complexion by morning. Both sleep masks use nourishing ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and evening primrose extract to restore hydration, but you can choose the niacinamide-infused Water Sleeping Mask when you want to focus on brightening, or the peptide-infused Bouncy & Firm Sleeping Mask when you’re after firming results. Then, top it off with the brand’s iconic berry-scented lip mask. Best of all, the three minis come in at a lower price point than just one of the full-size versions.

2An Embossing Stamp You Can Personalize

This gift is extra special — these personalized stamps mean your loved one can add some extra flair to their books or stationary. While the stamps come in self-inking or wood-handled options (the latter of which comes with an ink pad), the embosser option is where it’s at. It doesn’t require ink, and instead embosses letters or book pages with your personalized initials and top and bottom text. It won’t leave ink stains and it makes things look so expensive, instantly.

3A Super Serum That Combines Vitamin C With Salicylic Acid & Retinol

The ultimate gift for someone who is always on the go is a beauty product that helps them streamline their routine. This vitamin C serum from Naturium is an all-in-one formula that pairs the dermatologist-loved ingredient with several other actives. While vitamin C helps to give your morning sunscreen a boost, it also works to brighten your skin and increase collagen production, both of which are further enhanced by the addition of niacinamide and retinol. As retinol speeds up skin cell turnover, salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pores to clear out acne-causing oil and dead skin. The result? A clearer, smoother, brighter complexion (with continued use, of course).

4Pearl Earrings Encased In A Modern, Gold-Plated Cage

Not your mother’s pearls, these studs feature a faux pearl encased in a gold cage that makes them more whimsical and modern looking. The earrings have a push back with a standard post, and their 18-karat gold-plated metal means they hold up to everyday wear while remaining elegant enough for fancy settings, too. Easy to wear yet elevated, they make a great gift — and no one has to know they were under $15.

5A Spicy & Sweet Scent That’s Perfect For The Cooler Months

6Pretty Stationary That You Can Customize

7A Lip Duo That Moisturizes From Morning To Night

For the friend who’s never without a lip balm (or two!), consider this duo from Mario Badescu. Though both balms have a sweet vanilla scent, they each contain a unique formula and texture that make them better suited for different uses. The more traditional lip balm comes in an easy-to-apply squeeze tube with a formula that was created to protect lips during the day with a combination of avocado oil, cocoa seed butter, and sweet almond oil. Then, there’s the richer lip mask, which was designed to be applied just before you go to sleep, working to restore hydration overnight with its combination of shea butter, coconut oil, and squalane.

8A Gold-Plated Necklace With Your Choice Of Birthstone

9A Candy Cane-Scented Body Scrub For Smooth Skin All Year Long

For a gift that’s both festive and practical, Herbivore has introduced a mint-scented version of its classic body scrub.

It also comes in a few other fun scents, including hot cocoa and cocoa rose.

For more festive occasions that call for some sparkle, the set also comes with two metallic colors: a bronze-gold mix called Aggie and a violet chrome called Adina. All four polishes are free from 10 potentially harmful ingredients, including major offenders like formaldehyde, toluene, and dibutyl phthalate.

15Ceramic Catch-All Trays With Personalized Initials

This gift idea is extra special since it’s personalized — and so useful. (And only around $5!)

Amazon reviewers note that you can use the set to create your own hair mask or mix up hair dye for root touch-ups, too, and the mini face mister and storage container also double as great TSA-friendly containers for your beauty products when traveling.

Fatty acid- and vitamin-packed oils like cacay, kukui, and meadowfoam boost skin’s hydration, while dozens of Amazon reviewers note that the oil’s blend of jasmine petals, rose, and sandalwood (aka santal) impart a “heavenly” scent.

It’s less than $25, and it’s good for more than just candy, too — use it for things like dog treats or coffee pods.

33A Lip- & Lash-Enhancing Combo That’s Non-Irritating & Vegan-Friendly

Lash-enhancing serums and plumping lip glosses tend to contain ingredients like prostaglandin analogues (for lashes) and capsaicin (for lips) that can cause irritation and unwanted side effects. This duo from Pacifica Beauty is limiting the risk of irritation with its vegan collagen formulas that use peptides and plant-based ingredients to boost lashes and lips. Firstly, there’s a mascara that immediately bulks up lashes while keeping them conditioned with ingredients like vegan collagen and hydrolyzed vegetable protein to prevent breakage in the long run. And to give your lips a plumped-up effect without any burning or stinging, there’s a sheer, slightly shimmery gloss that’s formulated with multiple peptides.

Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides are behind the masks’ magical powers, but you can give them an extra de-puffing boost by storing them in the fridge prior to using.
