26 Under-$50 Gifts To Impress Everyone On Your List

This holiday season, we’ve found the gifts that feel great to get and even better to give. Shop Well-Received, our collection of editor-approved holiday gift guides, here.

Most holiday gifting starts with a budget. Sometimes, you need an inexpensive gift for a coworker. Other times, you want to splurge on a luxe present for a loved one. In our view, the $50 price tag hits the perfect middle ground. Sure, spending up to half a Franklin isn't nothing, but it’s just enough to look thoughtful and generous without breaking the bank — or giving off “I love you three Sweetgreen salads worth” vibes. Ideally, it might even look like you spent double the amount without dropping twice the cash.

So, we dove deep into the depths of the internet to bring you the coolest, trendiest, most thoughtful, wow-inducing gifts under $50. Depending on your budget, this could be the showpiece on your list, or or a thoughtful pick you’re sending in multiples to your five closest friends — we've got options for every scenario. Whether it’s a beauty set, a bookworm accessory, a spicy sauce trio, or a cashmere sweater (yep, you read that correctly), we’ve got the goods to ensure you secure the best-gift-giver title this season — without going over budget.
