Shopping on a budget doesn’t mean you can’t score something extra special for everyone on your list. There are so many items that are practical, fun, and meaningful that are under $50 — don’t be intimidated!
I put together this gift guide with that price point in mind, and each of these picks are totally present-worthy if I do say so myself. I either personally own and love these items, or they’re simply things that I would want to receive (hint, hint).
Whether you’re shopping for your friend, sister, or mom, these picks will certainly show them just how much you care (without breaking the bank!)
The Best Gifts Under $50
Floral PJ Set
A cozy set of pajamas is a tried-and-true gift idea that always guarantees a smile. This pair has such a fun floral print that will instantly brighten up cold and snowy nights.
Monogram Heart Pendant
I’m a big fan of a monogram jewelry moment. This pendant is the perfect size for everyday wear — dainty yet full of personality.
Dior Face Palette
If you’re looking for a gift that keeps on giving, this palette is it. It comes with a combo of highlighters and blush that would look stunning on a variety of skin tones.
Sherpa Scuff Slippers
It’s hard to believe that these plush Madewell slippers are under $50. They’d be the perfect “house shoe” to slip into throughout the winter.
YSL Lipstick
This lipstick (which comes in a ton of shades) is perfect for the gal in your life who always looks polished and put together.
Capri Blue Volcano Candle
Anthropologie’s cult-favorite candle is the ideal gift idea when you don’t know what to get someone. It smells soooo good and looks pretty — a win-win!
Barefoot Dreams Socks
Another fool-proof gift: a cozy pair of socks. These are made by Barefoot Dreams so you know they’re insanely soft.
Glass Evil Eye Bracelet
You guys know I love an evil eye accessory and I have been swooning over this bracelet. It’s 14k gold plated and adjustable to fit any wrist size.
Christmas Chalet Teapot
I love giving gifts that you wouldn’t necessarily buy for yourself, and this festive teapot is the perfect example. Whoever you gift this to would surely smile when they pull it out year after year — so special!
Kate Spade Stud Earrings
You can’t go wrong with these simple yet super sparkly stud earrings.
Mini Drop Earrings
For an accessory that makes even more of a statement, try these rose gold earrings. They went viral on TikTok (for good reason) and are definitely going to be a popular gift this season.
Magenta Wine Glasses
Colored wine glasses have been very trendy as of late and I couldn’t think of a better color to spruce up a bar cart.
Stanley Tumbler
This might not be a wine glass but it is a highly coveted item right now. If you know someone who hasn’t splurged on a Stanley Tumbler, now is the time to get them hooked.
Travel Makeup Case
For the girl who is always on the go, this travel makeup case will certainly come in handy. It has a bunch of different compartments for storing your essentials and it comes with a built-in, light up mirror.
Primrose Vanity Tray
The Primrose mirror from Anthropologie has certainly become iconic, but it’s a big purchase that’s not in everyone’s budget. This vanity tray is a mini version of the mirror that can be used as a pretty coffee table accent or nightstand accessory.
Tennis Bracelet
I have shared this tennis bracelet several times and so many of you have shared how much you love it. It’s under $20 but looks high quality.
Squad Goals Mug
If you know a fan of The Golden Girls, this cute coffee mug is a must. It would make a fun and useful stocking stuffer!
