68 Best Gifts Under $25
In many cases, an inexpensive gift — not to be confused with a lame one — is the most appropriate one for the occasion. After all, you wouldn’t bring a tall, tiered wedding cake to a casual backyard barbeque or gift a Rolex for a kindergarten graduation. Affordable gifts are just right for sweet, thinking-of-you gestures, no-big-deal treats, and just-because surprises.
Below are the best gifts we’ve found for $25 or less. (Note that although we confirmed these items met this threshold at the time of publication, prices can dance around a bit.) These budget delights include a handsome pair of socks honoring our National Parks, a whimsical glass with a little animal at its center, and a gilded nose-hair trimmer.
If you have a slightly larger budget, check out our guides to the best gifts under $50 and the best gifts under $100. Or if you have something just a little bit cheaper in mind, here are our favorite finds under $10 and some fantastic stocking stuffers.
