20 Best Gifts Under $50 for Everyone on Your 2023 list

The best gifts are those that can be used often. I love finding presents that I know the receiver will frequently use! This inspired my latest gift guide: affordable gifts for 20-somethings, all under $50.

Whether you’re picking a gift for someone or coming up with ideas for your wishlist, this list includes some of my favorite and most-used items. Or, it’s a little nudge for my mom (if she’s reading) about what I’d like. There’s a variety of choices here, from eye patches to Apple Watch bands, all priced below $50.

My picks for great gifts under $50

1. Towel Hair Wrap: A special towel wrap for hair is such a nice touch. It’s lightweight and doesn’t fall off, making it a small luxury. The Weezie towel and robe are high quality, and you can even personalize them – a perfect gift!

2. Phone Case: Phone cases are fun and help you spot your phone easily. The Custom Embossed iPhone Case is affordable and stylish. I’ve had mine for nearly two years and still love it.

3. Eye Patches: Ideal for anyone who has everything. Refreshing eye patches are great for early mornings, and these have fantastic reviews.

4. Stationery: I adore sending handwritten letters, and charming stationery like this gingham set adds to the fun.

5. Cooling and Brightening Eye Balm Stick: Perfect for busy people, this eye balm stick has been a staple in my bag. It’s long-lasting and great for a quick under-eye refresh.

6. Airpod Key Chain: I often move my Airpods between bags. A key chain case, especially a personalized leather one, is so handy.

7. Jewelry Travel Case: When traveling, I usually pack jewelry last, often in a plastic bag. These compact travel cases, available in several colors, are a safer and more stylish option.

8. Moroccan Oil Treatment: I’ve been using Moroccan Oil products for years. This treatment is a simple way to boost your hair care routine at home.

9. Charging Dock: I’ve wanted one ever since seeing them in friends’ apartments. It’s a great way to eliminate the clutter of cords!

10. Gold Rings: Although I’m not usually a ring wearer, this elegant and simple set caught my eye. It’s perfect for someone starting their ring collection.

11. Leather Card Case: Just like with my Airpods, I switch cards between bags often. A card case is ideal for this, helping to avoid losing cards. It’s great for anyone who often changes bags.

12. Toothbrush Holder: A unique gift idea for someone who has everything. I have a glass and woven toothbrush holder that looks much nicer than plastic ones and is easy to clean.

13. Apple Watch Band: I’ve used this band for years and often get compliments. It’s more stylish than the standard athletic band and looks great with bracelets.

14. Sunglasses: These are my favorite sunglasses for a statement look. The cat-eye style is fun, and the tortoiseshell pattern matches any outfit.

15. MyAgenda: Perfect for anyone wanting to start the new year organized. I’ve loved using MyAgenda for its layout and compact size.

16. Gold Hoops: You can never have too many hoops! This simple, classic design is versatile for many occasions.

17. Teletie Claw Clip: I’m a fan of Teletie’s hair ties because they’re comfortable and don’t damage hair. I’m excited to try their new claw clip style!

18. Keurig: This Keurig is just under $50, ideal for someone moving into their first apartment or for a coffee lover. It’s available in several colors, including a lovely blush pink.

19. Pleated Sleeve Sweatshirt: For those who love cozy yet stylish clothes, this pleated-sleeve sweatshirt is a great find. It’s comfortable, versatile, and available in multiple colors. I recommend sizing up for a relaxed fit.

20. Sanitize Mate Toothbrush Holder: UV toothbrush sanitizer. As a wall-mounted toothbrush holder, it ensures thorough cleaning, offering a pristine brush experience in any bathroom setting.
